The Transdisciplinary Pathways Fair is part of Undergraduate Research Week and highlights the many ways students can expand their academic and research journeys through interdisciplinary study.

This showcase connects undergraduate students with cross-unit academic programs that complement their degrees and research interests. Whether you are already involved in research or just getting started, these programs can help you deepen your academic experience and explore new questions across fields.

With 25–30 programs represented, students will have the opportunity to engage with program representatives to learn how transdisciplinary study can enhance their research, coursework, and future career pathways.

Event Goals

• Student Discovery: Bring visibility to transdisciplinary minors and certificates that span multiple units, helping students foster their interests and earn additional credentials.
• Program Growth: Help academic units promote their programs to a wider student audience, fill course sections, and earn additional allocations through the Strategic Resource-Based Model (SRBM).
• Institutional Storytelling: Reinforce OSU’s identity as a home for transdisciplinary work, highlighting important cross-sectional areas of study.
