Impact of Language Studies on STEM Students at the University Level
This study is being conducted to research the impact that the fine arts, specifically language, have on students studying in traditionally STEM majors. Ohio State does not require its engineering students to take a language, but other STEM fields based in the College of Arts & Sciences do have this requirement. Previous research shows the correlation between better performance/grades, more consistent involvement in extracurriculars, and improved overall mental & physical wellness when STEM students are engaged in activities outside of the STEM field. This study aims to see how Ohio State students are engaging outside of their STEM coursework from both an extracurricular and fine arts coursework perspective.
