Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Declaring a Major

There are two ways that you can declare a major in one of our programs. You can contact the College of Arts and Sciences Advising and Academic Services to make an appointment with an Academic Advisor there. They are located in the West Lobby of Denney Hall and their telephone number is (614) 292-6961. The second way to declare is to come see the DEALL Undergraduate Studies Director, Professor Kirk Denton (denton.2@osu.edu) in 398 Hagerty Hall (tel. 614-292-5548).

Regardless of which route you take to declare your major, you should also see Professor Kirk Denton so that he can assign you an Academic Advisor in DEALL—someone on the faculty who is an expert in your area of interest and can advise you about your studies on an ongoing basis. In addition, if you are in the Honors Program or are interested in finding out about it, you should contact our Honors Director, Professor James Unger (unger.28@osu.edu) in 379 Hagerty Hall.

General inquiries should be directed to Mr. David Liu in the Departmental office, 398 Hagerty Hall (tel. 614-292-5816). You can also check faculty office hours or leave messages for individual faculty members at this number.
