A major is your primary course of study and your minor is your secondary course of study.
Ordinarily, a major consists of 30 to 40 semester hours and a minor consists of 18 or more semester hours. A semester hour is granted for the successful completion of a course that meets for one hour per week for the length of the semester.
You will also be required to earn general education credits outside of your major and minor. You must have a total of about 120-128 required semester hours to graduate.
A college may require more than 40 hours for a specialized major such as engineering and some may require more than 128 hours for graduation.
Some colleges are on the quarter system. To determine quarter hours, multiply semester hours by 150%.

In College about sixty credits. Your degree is printed with what you majored. Employers are most interested in your major.
You can go two different ways with minors: 1 something to help your major in eyes of employer 2 To give you more areas to seek employment.

you take most of your courses in your major and you take less in your minor. usually your minor is to complement your major in a related field of interest. your degree would state what your major and minor are
