Majors & Minors Fair

Prepare for the Majors and Minors Fair

Get the most from the event.

The Majors & Minors Fair is a good place to start if you are undecided about a major, unsure about the major you are in, or if you are looking to add a second major or minor.

The fair provides the opportunity to discover majors you haven't considered before and to compare and contrast several majors.
