What is a minor at Ramapo College?
A minor is a concentrated area of study that usually relates directly to a student’s major field of study or complements a student’s major field of study.  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.
Why should I minor?
Declaring a minor can help give a student a competitive edge in the job market. In an increasingly competitive job market that often leads to changing jobs and even career paths, adding another dimension to a student’s college degree can only enhance his or her marketability while also promoting lifelong learning in a field of study beyond the student’s chosen major.
When do I declare a minor, and how many extra credits will it take to complete?
Minor requirements at Â鶹´«Ã½ vary by program, but by reading about one of the minors below, a student can get a sense of the minors available at Â鶹´«Ã½ and their requirements. Students tend to declare their minors in the third or fourth year at Â鶹´«Ã½, after they have completed their general education requirements. 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.  The student must have completed a minimum of one half of the credits for the minor(s) at Ramapo College.
