How many more classes in a major than a minor?

<p>Simple question- How many more classes/semesters are for major than for minors. I am seriously considering a CS major + physics minor. If I graduate like this in 4 years, how much longer will it be to go for a physics major? Or If I try to graduate within 4 years, how much more courses will I most likely add. I know it varies from school to school, but is there a general estimate on how much more coursework is needed? Thanks!</p>

<p>It depends on the school and the subject of the major/minor. Check the school’s web site.</p>

<p>Majors are considerably more work than minors, often twice or more as many credits, but it depends on the college and the subject.</p>

<p>It depends on the college.</p>

<p>At my college, the difference between a physics major and a minor is two courses plus a thesis. Two courses wouldn’t be too bad, but the thesis could get really annoying if your heart isn’t into it.</p>
