Academic minor

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what a major is in college? It's like your main interest or subject that you're studying. Well, a minor is kind of like a side subject that you might also be interested in. It's not as important as your major, but it's still something you're studying and learning about.

Let's say you love animals and want to be a veterinarian someday. Your major might be something like veterinary science, but you might also want to study something like biology or animal behavior as a minor. That way, you're still getting some extra knowledge and skills in subjects related to your main interest.

Having a minor can also show future employers that you have a diverse set of skills and interests. It's like having an extra feather in your cap!
