<p>I plan on majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Music.</p>
<p>Is it possible to take more than one minor?</p>
<p>Im doing a minor (certificate technically) in international business to compliment my finance major. I want to study abroad and be able to stay in school all 4 years with the state and my parents still supporting me; if employers end up caring, it’ll be a nice bonus.</p>
<p>Hey timothyandrew. I am currently going to school for business and English education and I am pursuing two minors in psychology and sociology. I wasn’t told I couldn’t double minor so I would say go for it. The reason why I have decided to take these two majors and minors is because it would make a world of difference in my future teaching career and as I consider graduate school, it would also assist me in my choice of a future career. I have been taking a gander at what I could do and have decided that I could get the most out of what I am doing in my undergraduate career if I chose a career such as academic affairs counselor or whatnot. And to answer the original post in my opinion, definitely pursue a minor if you believe it is going to benefit the career path you are considering taking.</p>
<p>As a hiring manager, a minor counts for nothing unless it is closely associated to the major. And a multiple minors raises a red flag as to the quality of the applicant. Spending an extra year or two of additional time earning unrelated minors is not a <em>plus</em> on ones resume.</p>
<p>Well, I have a bit of a different view…which is less concerned about what a hiring officer thinks. These days, there seem to be more students going for occupational majors like engineering or business. Practical yes…but BORING. My thought is that you should choose a minor that is interesting and enjoyable. Indeed, if that is math or economics go for it. My s is a business major and chose history. He really enjoys those classes. Me? I was a psychology major and minored in business. Both of us were looking for balance I think. </p>
<p>In the end, I don’t think it means much. So, go with what you like (especially if you’re not passionate about your major).</p>

<p>My kid was going for a minor but has bailed on it this semester due to some complications with scheduling the last course he needed for the minor. I don’t think it will matter, but he put in a lot of work to get to this point, so it’s sort of a shame to ditch it, but so it goes…</p>

<p>That is bad advice followed by harmful advice.</p>
