What is the Value of a Minor?
Imagine being a pastor who can read a balance sheet. A youth worker with the outdoor skills to guide teens on a three-day hike. A counsellor with an understanding of other cultures.
Enrolling in a Minor at Columbia gives you broader knowledge, a more versatile skill-set, and it expands your possibilities. Here’s a list of possible advantages you’ll experience if you graduate with a BA plus a Minor:
- A minor gives you the chance to explore an area you’re passionate about.
- You’ll be eligible to take more 200, 300, and 400-level courses – which delve into subjects more deeply.
- A minor can equip you with valuable skills that will help you in your chosen vocation and give you an edge when you’re applying for positions.
- A minor can give you great stories to tell in a job interview, especially if your minor shows that you have broad interests and experience.
