<p>Whats sounds better/more well-rounded?</p>
<p>B.S. in Computer Science with a Minor in Economics</p>
<p>B.S. in Computer Science with a Minor in Math</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not at all</p>
<p>I’d go Econ, but it really doesn’t matter. At least Econ though adds a skill.</p>
<p>It probably doesn’t matter much, but if you’re only a class or two away from a minor in math just from meeting your requirements it probably doesn’t hurt either.</p>
<p>There is a minor in math at my school that is specifically marketed to people who decide to major in soft subjects and unfalsifiable arcane studies, presumably so they can prove to employers that they didn’t major in a soft subject because they feared math or were incompetent at it. Presumably also so students in the sciences or engineering who switched to liberal arts to run away from math can restore their dignity.</p>
<p>I’d prefer econ but econ will take me an extra 8 classes, while math will take me an extra 4 classes. hmmmm…</p>
<p>Minors are usually for your own fun. I’m majoring in accounting and minoring in english. Also, its not uncommon for people to pick up a minor because its only a couple more classes. I have some engineering friends who only need one or two math classes for a math minor and some bio-medical friends who minor in chemistry for the same reason. Minors don’t prove a whole lot, but it doesn’t hurt to have.</p>
<p>For you, if it doesn’t keep you in school longer do what you want to do. Even if you don’t minor in it, you can still probably take a few of the course for fun.</p>
