<p>I was wondering when I choose a minor does it have to compliment my major? I want to pursue a medical science and am leaning toward biochemistry so I was thinking that maybe I should minor in something similar such as public health. But I would love to pursue a minor in French because I really enjoy the language and would like to visit and study abroad. Would it look bad that my minor doesn't coincide with my major?</p>
<p>Your minor does not have to be related in any way to your major. In terms of finding the time to complete the coursework for a minor, it may be easier if the major and minor fields have some common courses.</p>
<p>But I can’t imagine why it would “look bad”, to anyone, if the minor is not complementary to your major field.</p>
<p>No, it doesn’t have to. Many do, but many others also just choose a random one that they’re interested in, such as you with the French minor.</p>
