What is a "minor"?

A minor is a secondary area of study that a student can pursue alongside their major at a university or college. It allows students to explore an additional field of interest with fewer requirements than the major. While the minor is not as extensive as the major, it still involves completing a series of courses related to the subject. Choosing a minor can provide students with a broader education, help develop complementary skills, or enhance their qualifications for certain careers. Students typically select a minor based on personal interest or to complement their major.

Example

She chose to pursue a minor in Spanish to enhance her language skills.

Many students opt to declare a minor in a subject they find interesting but not their primary focus of study.
