 Why a Math and Science Majors Fair?
- Peer-to-Peer Inspiration
Undergraduate students who are currently studying math and science are often effective at inspiring high school
students to study math and science in college. The Math and science majors fair is a unique opportunity for college
students to demystify the pursuit of math and science and answering questions from high school students.
- The Early Bird Catches the Worm
The math, science and education curriculua require strong foundations and prerequisite courses. If a student chooses to pursue math or science,
the earlier he or she start the math and science education the more likely it will be completed within 4 years. Even if one is unsure
of thier major, they should know that about 90% of ALL college majors require some math and science background. Therefore, starting one's
collegic career with math and science courses is generally a good idea. While college is fun, extra semesters are costly.
- Exploration and Exposure
Many high school students are just learning about college "majors" and haven't yet learned of the myriad of majors available in math and science.
It's not just math, chemistry, biology and physics any more. Many schools have specialized and interdisciplinary programs that offer more than
most students can imagine. The Math and Science Majors Fair is a unique opportunity to glimpse at what math and science majors do and how they
are doing it!
