Majors and Minors Exploration Fair

The SASN Majors and Minors Exploration Fair occurs once every Fall and Spring semester. This event is valuable for students at all stages of their academic journey. It offers an opportunity to connect with representatives from various academic departments, student services offices, and different Rutgers Schools and Colleges by visiting their booths at the fair. Whether students have already declared their major/minor or are still undecided, the event is designed to assist those who may be uncertain about their academic focus, career direction, or how to enrich their academic experience.
