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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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.

Society for Philosophy of Science

Campus: Columbus
Status: Active - New/Re-Established II
Purpose Statement: The purpose of the Society for Philosophy of Science is to create a forum for discussing issues in philosophy of science. Philosophy of science, as a branch of philosophy, tries to understand the aims, methods, principles, and practices of science. These are investigated both on a general level - by focusing on the topics applied to any branch of science, such as theory and evidence, scientific progress and theory change, confirmation, explanation, etc. - and in a more focused way - by looking into each field of science such as physics, biology, psychology, economics, computer science, etc. Issues closely related to science are also the target of study, such as the relationship between science and policy, moral problems in scientific research and technological advance, feminist science, to name a few. Given the apparent success and a huge impact science has made, understanding science - its nature, role, and value - is undoubtedly an important task. And given that societies are becoming more and more driven by scientific research and findings, the task will also become more and more significant. Society for Philosophy of Science aims to facilitate members of the Ohio State community to engage with the said task. For this, this group will provide various opportunities for people thinking about science to share their ideas and to discuss recent and important works in philosophy of science.
