What are the benefits of starting Ohio State as an Exploring student?
My experience in University Exploration has been successful, I would say! The survey class was highly helpful to me; getting to hear representatives from all of the colleges talk about their majors was so helpful and opened my eyes to many majors and educational paths available that I had never thought about. Who knows how long it would have taken me to discover my minor if I hadn't been in the Exploration program, because that is where I heard about it!

Exploration allowed me to make an informed decision, but it is incredibly important that students understand that it isn't a magic fix. Coming into the university undecided and going into the Exploration program doesn't magically tell you what you will be interested in – in fact, I'm still exploring the different business specializations. You must actively pursue different options and find your interests.
Jay Clouse, Business (Marketing), Ohio State Class of 2014
My experience in University Exploration can only be described as a glorious adventure. I took classes that met my General Education Course requirements in the most creative way possible. For example, I took Bible as Literature, Art, Psychology, and Comparative Studies all within my first year. This truly allowed me to explore my different areas of interest while building a knowledge foundation for my subsequent classes.
