Find a Student Organization

There are over 1,400 student organizations at Ohio State and over half of all students join a student organization. Students who choose to get involved achieve many positive outcomes - leadership skills, better grades, friendships and mentors, and make a big campus seem small. Use the tools below to search for, find, and get involved with student organizations.

You can also connect with many of our student organizations at our Student Involvement Fairs in August and January. Check out the Student Involvement Fairs webpage for the latest information.

For individualized assistance find the student organization that's right for you, schedule a Get Involved Consultation. These 30-minute meetings will provide a personalized list of recommendations based on your interests and aspirations.

Please consult this list of student organizations with revoked registration as of Spring 2024. Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university. We encourage you to review an organization’s status before becoming involved with it, especially because sometimes an organization’s status is revoked due to serious concerns like hazing and other behavior that risks your health and safety.

Music & Science Colloquium and Teaching Series (MASCATS)

Campus: Columbus
Status: Inactive
Purpose Statement: MASCATS is a student organization that aims to foster interdisciplinary research in music among scholars across the OSU campus and at other universities in the U.S. and Canada. This organization creates a space for research, discussion, collaboration, and learning, with a focus on how music-related subjects can inform—and be informed by—other disciplines and engage researchers across the university in STEAM-related creative ideas. MASCATS achieves this goal through a series of professional and social events, such as colloquia, workshops, and lecture series, where we engage with a variety of topics from music cognition and psychology, music theory, pedagogy, computer science, neuroscience, music and arts performance. Undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, faculty members, and members of the community are welcome to be involved with MASCATS!
