College Discussion (Academic)

[Man]

So what did you major in? Difficulty? Career afterwards? Plans for graduate school?

[Roux!]

I have a question: What's a major and a minor...? Well, I know what a major is, just wanna hear some confirmation; not so sure about a minor though, we don't have that stuff over here...

[Man]

major is your primary concentration, your minor is a secondary subject which you focus on

[Roux!]

So if I'm studying Computer Science, that would be my major, right...?

What about my minor...? I'm not concentrating on anything else, ATM... Is it mandatory over there...?

I don't think minors are mandatory...

I have not picked a major yet. Who knows what I'll end up doing.

Majored in Information Technology. Got 36 credits toward a 60 credit diploma then dropped out. Plan on returning sometime this year. Was hella easy too.

Minors are sometimes mandatory depending upon the University. Mine requires them unless you have a comprehensive major which really isn't that much different from the normal major. Having said that i'm majoring in chemistry and i'm going through the comprehensive major program.

Majored in computer science for a semester, got a .463 GPA b/c i really didn't bother...

Working on getting a job ATM, gonna try again in the fall, after my mandatory "temporary dismissal".

majored in music business and technology but thinking about just going into music technology and production....taking my sweet time with it tho...part time for like 8 semesters now but at least i don't have any god forsaken student loans....

...after my mandatory "temporary dismissal".

Excellent!

I had an equivalent of 3.6 GPA, which dropped to somewhere around 3.2 GPA because of not giving a rat's ass about school anymore...

No plans for graduate studies either... If I don't get rolling with an employment in a vgm development studio soon, I'll be out of the loop for good! It's already scary the thought of diving into next-gen development knowing absolutely nothing about them dangfangled new devices...

Soooo.... GBA dev FTW!!

[Man]

One example of having a required minor is in education. your major would be teaching and your minor would be knowing about what you teach

[Terill]

What if you taught how to teach?

[austinsanity]

then you'd be a professor of education and you'd have a minor in whatever you'd want to be teaching ppl how to teach....i think...

what if you were an EP admin? wut wud ur major/minor be?
