<p>Your major is the subject matter you will be most educated in (the most classes needed), and this will most likely be what your job will hire you for in the future.</p>
<p>Minors are optional. If you’re interested in other subjects, you can minor in them by taking some classes (but not as many classes as someone majoring in that subject would).</p>
<p>Example:
B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in fiber and polymer science.
Chemistry = major, 107 units
Fiber & polymer science = minor, 18 units</p>
<p>B.S. in Fiber & polymer science, with a minor in Chemistry
Fiber & polymer science = major, 180 units
Chemistry = minor, 20 units</p>
