<p>What is the difference between majoring and minority in something, I know the obvious facts, but how would you split classes between the two subjects each year.
And what kind of degree do you graduate with? Separate for each subject, etc?
What are the benefits and negatives of taking a minor??</p>
<p>Well first of all, you will get your degree in what you majored in. A minor is a subject that either you’re interested in studying but not pursuing as a career or a topic that compliments your major. (Like majoring in physics and minoring in math). </p>
<p>As far as planning the classes, that’s just up to you. If the two subjects are related, then some courses can potentially count as credit for the major and minor and you’ll save a lot of time. Also if that’s the case, then be on the look out for prerequisite courses. If the subjects aren’t related, I’d suggest “sprinkling” your minor classes in. Take one or two a semester. That can add up to about 6 credits (typically) and since the average minor is 18-24 credit hours you can either finish before your senior year or take a semester or two to focus on your major’s coursework (especially if you know it’s going to be a rough semester).</p>
<p>It’s really about taking the time out and actually plan your courses. It doesn’t have to be painstakingly meticulous, just sufficient to have an idea where you’ll have heavier/lighter course loads in regards to your major (the one that actually really matters)</p>
