<p>If a minor will extend your graduation time by a semester, is it worth it to take one on?</p>
<p>not really</p>
<p>In a word, no. Do one if you're one of those people who have to validate to themselves that they studied something. Otherwise, people rarely look at them.</p>
<p>If your really interested in the subject, and want to learn it, why not? If it is needed for a specific job/ career, then do it. Otherwise, it's just months of extra tests/papers.</p>
<p>Generally, no. I'm in support of minors, and in support of people taking 5 years to graduate in order to study what they want. But if you don't want to take extra time, rest assured that the minor really won't make a difference in the professional world (unless it specifically relates to your career plans). I hope this helps.</p>
<p>No, in most cases a minor isn't worth an extra semester unless you have a scholarship so it won't cost very much.</p>
<p>No, not worth another $5K+.</p>
<p>I was actually wondering the same thing, but now, I think I've talked myself out of it.</p>
<p>I've heard that most of the time they're not worth it, but some minors are wonderful in complementing the major, and may give an advantage in grad/professional schools - for example, biology major with a psychology minor.</p>
<p>I've thought about doing a pharmacy major with a spanish or business minor. Does that seem useful? I'd probably end up going with business, but it seems kinda pointless because you don't have to have that to become a pharmacy manager or anything.</p>
