You chose your college, decided on your method of studies (online vs. on campus) and even landed on your major of choice. You think your decision making is done—but then you get asked about your minor.

Not every college student graduates with a minor. In fact, many may not even find the addition of a minor to be necessary to their studies. While adding a minor to your degree is usually a personal choice, there are some reasons that a minor may be good for you.

The Need for Specialization

Your dream career may be in the construction world as a manager or even business owner. A degree in construction management is sure to give you the skills you need, but if you are considering a minor, adding a business minor may help to instill the business ethics you will need to own or manage a company.

Gain a Well Rounded Education

If you are not entirely sold on your career path, adding a minor may help to give you a more well-rounded education to ensure you succeed no matter what path you choose to take. If there is something that interests you, but that you don’t see as your main career, consider making it a minor. It will only help you increase your skillset and set you up for a brighter future.

A Resume Builder

Education is one investment that will continue to pay off your entire life. Having a minor listed on your resume, or even highlighting certain classes you took within your minor can help employers understand your skills and how that will relate to the job at hand.

Help with Graduate School

If you plan to go to graduate school once you complete your undergraduate studies, having the extra classes from a minor under your belt can help to build a great foundation. Not only will it help you when applying to graduate schools, but it will also help you manage your coursework once you start your studies.
