What is a minor?

A college minor is an opportunity to explore a different field, pursue an interest or complement your major with a second field of study. A minor is an excellent way to pursue an interest or demonstrate to future employers that you seriously studied a specific subject. It adds value to your degree and a competitive edge in the job market, showing that you went above and beyond what was required to get a degree.

What minor should I choose?

You should choose a minor that interests you and that complements your major. This minor should show potential employers that you have expertise in a certain aspect of that field. For example, if you major in business, a minor in economics would be an excellent choice! A minor may also combine two different areas of study to create a unique niche in your career field.
