Why should you attend The Major Discovery Fair?

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.

• Are there requirements for your major? What, if any, is the admission process?
• What kinds of special programs (research, independent study, study away, student organizations, internships, etc.) are offered with your major?
• What course(s) do you recommend to help me explore your major if I’m not ready to declare?
• What activities do you recommend to help me explore your major?
• What kinds of jobs are graduates from your program finding?
• What’s the biggest challenge for students in your major?
• What do students find most rewarding about your major?
• What’s one thing students interested in your major should know before getting involved with the program?
• What are common minors students have within your major?
