Why should you attend The Major Discovery and Career Expo?

Many of the majors UAB has to offer will be featured so all undecided, re-deciding, and exploring students can ask questions and gather information all in one convenient location. Faculty and staff will be available to answer your questions, from program requirements to possible career opportunities for future graduates and we’ll have advisors from VMASC on hand to answer general major declaration questions.

Please check Engage later in September to register.
