Picking Your Path: A Journey Through the Jungles of Academia (Okay, Maybe More Like a Nature Walk)
Ohio State boasts over 80 majors scattered across a whopping 14 colleges (that's more colleges than there are lives of a particularly indecisive houseplant). Here's a taste of what you'll find:
- The Word Nerds and Number Crunchers: Love the classics or the thrill of equations? Dive into the College of Arts and Sciences, with majors like ancient history, astronomy, and oh-so-trendy data analytics.
- The Creatives and Innovators: Got a knack for design or a voice that could melt glaciers? Check out the Knowlton School of Architecture and the College of Arts and Sciences for majors in art, music, and design.
- The Business Mavens and Changemakers: Aspiring entrepreneur or social justice warrior? The Fisher College of Business and the College of Social Work have you covered, with majors in accounting, marketing, and social work.
But that's not all! We haven't even mentioned engineering (hello, rockets!), food science (because, yum!), or even veterinary medicine (because who doesn't love hanging out with furry friends all day?).
