Ohio State University-Marion Campus

Biology

The biology major is designed to expose students to a broad base of biological knowledge, to provide depth of experience in advanced topics, and to develop competence in scientific disciplines that are supportive of the life sciences (mathematics, physics, and chemistry). The biology major is a steppingstone from which students may go into research, various health professions, teaching, business, or service in government or independent agencies.

Business Management

Students can pursue a business management degree at Ohio State's Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses. After completing program requirements, students will receive the same undergraduate BSBA degree they would have received had they attended classes on the Columbus campus.

Child and Youth Studies

In this major, you will choose a specialization that connects with your interests and career goals, exploring child and youth development, community connections to education, and non-formal education methods. In your culminating year, you will engage in a year-long internship, learning hands-on about teaching and learning opportunities in a community organization.

Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies

Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies provides majors with a sociological perspective and research-based techniques for examining and responding to important questions about the causes and consequences of crime and the workings of the criminal justice system.

English

Studies in English at Ohio State prepare students to think critically about texts; to construct sound arguments based on evidence; to write elegantly and persuasively; and to understand the historical and cultural contexts in which texts are produced, disseminated and received.

History

Studying history creates comprehension of complexity and diversity. This is an essential skill for negotiating today's multicultural, globalized world. A history major provides students with other skills too: the ability to write clearly and persuasively and to understand complicated events in a nuanced, sophisticated way. History majors learn to read newspapers, political speeches and documents in a critical fashion, a particularly vital skill in today's information-rich world.
