<p>How long does it generally take to complete a minor?
Would it be possible to complete one with in the first couple of semesters and then focus on a second one?
If people double minor do they usually work on both at the same time?</p>
<p>In reality, minors are useless. Do not get a minor for the sake of getting one. Get one because of personal interest.</p>
<p>In terms of scheduling, you can determine how to work a minor. You will be constricted by classes you actually have to take and prerequisites, but if you just need to complete a certain amount of requirements, however you choose.</p>
<p>You can just work on a minor for an entire semester or work on both minors at the same point, though I would advise against it. </p>
<p>The number of classes you have to take to finish a minor varies greatly by the type of minor it is. </p>
<p>I would suggest figuring out if you actually like your major choice and think about backup major choices before you think about minors. Only get a minor if you’re taking a class and something interests you.</p>
<p>Minors can be helpful. For example, statistics and computer science are fields where some coursework can open entirely new career options and one does not need a full blown major to get a foot in the door. Language minors can be useful too (and who wants to take all of those literature classes required for the major?)</p>
<p>Though I do agree that most students complete minors because they develop an interest in an area outside of their major, not necessarily for the career benefits.</p>
<p>My school requires that those in the liberal arts school have a minor or a double major.</p>
<p>Minors usually are 18-24 credits, so around 6-8 classes. Usually you can complete a double minor. Depends on how intense your major is.</p>
