Get Minor & Certificate

In a Bachelor's Degree, the Major is the main focus of your studies and the Minor is a secondary specialization. Your Major should be the field of study in which you wish to pursue a professional career, while the Minor can be either a complementary subject to that goal or a further exploration of a hobby or interest.

If you opt to complete a minor, it likely won't show up on your diploma. Instead, it will typically be listed on your transcripts. As you begin applying for jobs, you can include both your major and minor on your resume, showing employers the extra work you put into your degree.

A student's minor does not usually appear on their diploma. Instead, the diploma lists the major and the date the graduate earned their degree. That said, college transcripts do list minors.

A major is a program of study in a particular subject area. All students must declare a major to graduate. Minors are between 12-18 credits, but are not required to graduate.

To complete a minor, students typically take around half as many credits in a secondary subject as they take for their major. Another difference between a major and a minor is that a major appears on your diploma, while a minor doesn't. Despite this, minors can provide extra detail on a resume when appropriate.
