Can someone explain the difference between majors and minors for me?

<p>you can minor in something with fewer credits. </p>

<p>like on this website: <a href=“http://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/academic/anthropology.html[/url]”>http://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/academic/anthropology.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>it shows that majoring in anthropology requires 55 credits but minoring only requires 30 credits.</p>

<p>so if you have multiple interests but dont have the time/desire to do a double major, you can minor in something.</p>

<p>hopefully this helps.</p>
