Possible to only study a minor?

<p>I’m in the New Brunswick SAS and whilst I understand graduation requirements ask students to complete the CORE curriculum, a minor and a major, I honestly don’t know what I want to do at this point in my life. Due to financial pressures as well as family issues, I really don’t want to go into a 4 year study program. I don’t even know what I want to study, so any time I waste trying to figure things out at the moment isn’t exactly in my interest.</p>

<p>One thing that I do want, however, is a [Business</a> and Technical Writing Certificate](<a href=“http://wp.rutgers.edu/btw]Business”>Business & Technical Writing Courses). This is attained through completion of a minor, and afterwards I think you have to apply manually to receive your certificate. Do you think I could just complete my minor and then take a few years off from college? Or would that not be allowed.</p>

<p>Most freshman take a similar variety of courses their first year that would be necessary at most colleges. (english, math, social science, global, etc). I would just take those beginning courses and do well in them. Then, if you want to take some time off, you still have credits that are useful/transferrable when you decide what you want to do. You may decide that you want nothing to do with your minor anyway so take the general courses that everyone needs.</p>

<p>My concern is whether or not colleges which offer 2-year degree programs will accept transfer credits from a 4-year school. I think that most schools don’t allow that?</p>

<p>Have you discussed this with your parents? Why not go to a community college now, if you are that unsure?</p>

<p>What about calling your student advisor and making an appt to discuss your concerns? I wouldn’t depend on an online forum in this case.</p>
