How challenging is it to pursue a minor while majoring in a science?

<p>I’m planning on transferring to UC Davis next Fall in Exercise Biology, and am considering minoring in history. I’m just curious from those of you who are pursuing a minor at a four year are coping with the extra workload. Is it not uncommon to not finish your degree in time (four years)?</p>

<p>You can definitely do it. Is history something you enjoy? You’ll find it a breather from the science courses, and somehow you’ll also find yourself excelling much more at it. I say go for it; you should be able to finish in 4 years. Best of Luck!</p>

<p>Most science majors have enough free electives that students can easily complete a minor without taking any additional courses.</p>

<p>Your experience as a transfer student might be different, depending on how much progress you have made in your major and general education requirements up to this point.</p>
