<p>Hello! I was wondering if there were any colleges out there that let you take classes outside of your major, or if this is possible in every college. I currently want to major in english but minor in music and take other classes in Spanish, dance, art and history.</p>
<p>It totally depends on the school. Lots of them have general education requirements that require you to take classes outside your major.</p>
<p>Even if they don’t require it, they all allow it. There are limits, though - you have to take a certain number of classes to achieve your major, and there isn’t infinite room for more classes in the four years at college.</p>
<p>Yes, most colleges/universities in the US allow you to take classes outside your major. Some of those outside options are actually mandatory in the form of a core curriculum or general education requirements. In addition, beyond the core curriculum and the major requirements, you are also normally allowed to enroll in a number of “free electives” that can be taken in any department.</p>
