Will a minor in college still yield a degree (B.A.)?

Question

If I am planning to major in one area and minor in a completely different area, will i still get a Bachelors in each area? How does that work?

Answer 1

No, you will not. Bachelor's degrees are only awarded to major areas, which demonstrate significant coursework and advanced knowledge in the major area. As a minor requires less coursework, and will assuredly not require a thesis, it does not qualify for a degree. The only way to receive a Bachelors in both areas is to double major.

Answer 2

No -- you just get one BA -- in your major field.
