Choosing to add a minor (or multiple minors) should be considered if you want to expand your studies outside of your major. The minors available in college are sometimes more limited than majors, and they allow you to explore additional fields of study. For example, you could major in biology with a minor in public health, or major in political science with a minor in statistics. Adding a minor is a great way to build your own path by joining your interests into one broader, personalized program.
