Can someone tell me about the majors and minors in college? Bachelor's degree?

Question

How does it work? Do you major in one subject, and minor in several others? Or do you major in one subject, and minor in one subject, too?
If you go to a 4 year college, do they just give you a Bachelor's degree? Or do you take a test?

Answer 1

To get a bachelor's, you have to fulfill the requirements for that major. Usually, this just means taking and passing a number of certain courses. No final test is needed.

Your "major" is the degree you'll eventually wind up with. The degree in which you'll have to fulfill some list of required courses in order to get that bechelor degree.

A minor is similar to a major, except you won't get a full degree when you fulfill all the requirements. You'll just get a notation that you also hold a minor in that area.

You can major and minor in however many subjects as they'll let you. If you want to graduate in 5 years, you typically can't major in more than 2 areas or have 1 major and 2 minors. If there are no time limits to how long you stay in college, then it's usually up to the school as to how many areas you can major or minor in at one time. Of course, you can always switch majors/minors.

Answer 2

You normally major in one subject, but you can also do a double major. Minors are optional most of the time, but sometimes a major requires a minor. IF you get a minor you should only get one. If in the four years you complete all the requirements you will be awarded a bachelors degree. You do not have to take any test (tests are just for admisions).

Answer 3

would be easier for you to have an interest and look it up to see what colleges offer what degrees.

Too many to account for otherwise.

Usually you major in one and minor in another, but there are double-majors out there.

You take numerous tests over the course of 4 years in all classes. so i don't know what ur gettin at there.

Answer 4

i think u would get counselors to tell you this, and if not; look it up in college board
