<p>I’m going for a CS major, minor in either history or Chinese and I’ll take premed prereqs.</p>
<p>History and Political Science double major here! (:</p>
<p>Ultimate career is law, though.</p>
<p>^ Sorry to break your bubble but you cannot double major at Princeton.</p>
<p>loooooooooooooool #novicemistake</p>
<p>Can’t “minor” either actually. Major + certificate only.</p>
<p>Awk… </p>
<p>10 char</p>

You actually can Minor at Princeton.</p>
<p>A very recent and good example would be my sister who graduated last year.
Politics Major, Economics Minor (not certificate) and then French Certificate. Unless you meant something else by minor which I may not have understood?</p>
<p>@MRU93Raith, can you please elaborate what you are referring to, when you say ‘Minor’?</p>
<p>From the website -
“Undergraduate certificate programs enable students to pursue focused study that supplements the primary work of their concentrations (majors), leading to a certificate upon completion. Further academic interests also can be explored through various undergraduate interdisciplinary programs.”</p>
<p>I actually don’t know how one would explain what a minor is, but to my understanding it is similar to the inter-disciplinary type studies, but where there is more focus on one section than the other.
I haven’t been back onto the Princeton website lately, but earlier this year they had lists of possible majors, minors and certificates. . . They may have changed it, and I can’t check at the moment, but I know that on my sister’s certificates for her graduation it mentioned Politics as her major, ecos as her minor and french as a certificate</p>
<p>CS Majors here</p>
<p>Interesting! My freshman son was specifically told there is no “minor” option at Princeton and I heard the same from the Dean at the parents’ orientation session. I cannot find anything on their website that indicates that minors are an option, only certificates:</p>
<p>[Certificate</a> Programs - Princeton University | Certificate Programs](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/whatsdistinctive/experience/certificate_programs/]Certificate”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/whatsdistinctive/experience/certificate_programs/)</p>
<p>There was one other option for an independent concentration program:</p>
<p>[Choosing</a> a Major: Orange Key Virtual Tour of Princeton University](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/~oktour/virtualtour/french/Info03-Major.htm]Choosing”>http://www.princeton.edu/~oktour/virtualtour/french/Info03-Major.htm)</p>
<p>This program does not count toward graduation according to the academic regulations website:</p>
<p>[Academic</a> Regulations | Office of the Dean of the College](<a href=“http://odoc.princeton.edu/academic-regulations]Academic”>Academic Regulations | Undergraduate Announcement 2022-23)</p>
<p>In particular I would refer to this paragraph:
"Recording Grades for Independent Work in More than One Department</p>
<p>Students may have only one concentration at Princeton. The degree and departmental honors are granted in one department only. Under special circumstances, however, a student may receive permission to complete independent work in more than one department. A student hoping to pursue this option must have completed the prerequisites for entry into the second department, and must have both the permission of the departmental representative in the second department and the permission of the Office of the Dean of the College. Such a student may then write junior papers and a senior thesis in the second department and have that work recorded on the transcript. Such additional independent work will not count toward a student’s graduation requirements. Independent work written to fulfill the requirements of a certificate program is not recorded on the transcript."</p>
<p>Perhaps we are not speaking the same “language” here =) , but they were quite clear with us that there are no minor options offered at Princeton. For some considering attending Princeton, this is a really important consideration so I think we need to convey the information accurately on this forum. If the policy has changed midyear, could someone please verify this, hopefully with supporting online Princeton University documentation? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>I heard the same as @Cantiger as well, and that played no small part in helping me decide between Princeton and two of my other top choices.</p>
<p>Oh, then history major. I forget which of my colleges didn’t offer double majors</p>
<p>Woodrow Wilson for International Affairs :)</p>

I have just checked their site and I can’t find any trace of minors either, I don’t think we were referring differently to minors.
I haven’t checked with my sister yet, but I checked her pages where she has her degrees etc written down - it also makes no reference to a major or minor, but I am under the impression that her politics took more weight as far as her time, effort and course load was concerned.
Maybe she took the interdisciplinary route as she has listed that she studied** “political theory, political economics…” **; so maybe that is the case?</p>
<p>Thanks though for the point as I was under the impression that there were minors (I am an international student and have not had privy to any college visits - except those conducted by some US Embassy).</p>
