Get Some Help With a 'Major' Life Decision
Instead of continuing to take random classes to figure out what he likes and doesnt like, UC freshmen Brad Sierer heeded some advice from his mom and from a poster. He went to UCs new Center for Exploratory Studies to zero in on a major.
The undecided first-year student is realizing the centers worth and recommends it to others who arent sure about a major. Dozens of students have already stopped by the center since it opened in February. Its target audience is the more than 900 UC students with undeclared status a category that boasts more students than any individual major program at the university. In addition, the center serves students who are declared, but would like to explore their other academic options.

The halls of UC’s biology department came alive with high school students early last month. Scores of students from Hughes, Aiken and Lockland high schools poured in for a day of learning. Molecular parasitology, hydrogeology and spider vision were all on the schedule, and there was plenty of hands-on learning as they handled snakes, hissing cockroaches and frogs, studied vertebrate anatomy and combed through stream samples searching for elusive mayflies, sowbugs and crayfish. The occasion? The tenth anniversary of Biology Day, which UC’s College of Arts and Sciences hosts each year in partnership with Cincinnati Public Schools.
