What is a minor at Ramapo College?<\/strong>
\nA minor is a concentrated area of study that usually relates directly to a student\u2019s major field of study or complements a student\u2019s major field of study.\u00a0\u00a0 A minor is intended to give a student a breadth of knowledge in a particular subject area, to enhance a skillset that will be valuable in his or her future, or explore an area of interest as part of a well-rounded liberal arts education.<\/p>\n

Why should I minor?<\/strong>
\nDeclaring a minor can help give a student a competitive edge in the job market.\u00a0 In an increasingly competitive job market that often leads to changing jobs and even career paths, adding another dimension to a student\u2019s college degree can only enhance his or her marketability while also promoting lifelong learning in a field of study beyond the student\u2019s chosen major.<\/p>\n

When do I declare a minor, and how many extra credits will it take to complete?<\/strong>
\nMinor requirements at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ vary by program, but by reading about one of the minors below, a student can get a sense of the minors available at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and their requirements.\u00a0 Students tend to declare their minors in the third or fourth year at Âé¶¹´«Ã½, after they have completed their general education requirements.\u00a0 After completing general education and delving into required courses in the major, a student may identify an appropriate minor to complement his or her major field of study.\u00a0 The student must have completed a minimum of one half of the credits for the minor(s) at Ramapo College.<\/p>\n

Declaring a Minor
\n<\/strong>Students wishing to declare a minor must complete the Major\/Minor Declaration Form available in the Registrar\u2019s Office or online (
Major\/Minor Declaration Form<\/a>).
\nThose wishing to minor in Business can use the form found online (
Minor in Business<\/a>).<\/p>\n
