I’m a high school senior, and want to major in neuroscience. I also want to minor in mathematics, but I am confused about how these two are related to each other in my academics (not the math and neuroscience specifically, but the basic major and minor). Meaning, does a minor take the place of any electives I may have as part of my major? I’m not sure how the credits work either, for example: does the number of credits I need to satisfy increase as I add a minor to my load? I’d appreciate it if someone could give me a brief explanation on how the two work together. Thanks!
