So
many
choices
…
so
many
opportunities
to
be
unique!
When
I
began
looking
into
university
programs,
I
realized
that
I
was
unfamiliar
with
what
a
major
or
minor
was,
or
even
the
process
of
declaring
a
major.
A
major
is
not
a
single
class
you
devote
most
of
your
time
and
attention
to
each
term
and
a
minor
is
not
a
single
class
that
is
a
less
intense
version
of
a
major.
After
further
research,
a
major
is
a
group
of
courses
within
one
subject
area
that
is
the
main
focus
of
your
university
program.
If
I
were
to
major
in
Theatre
and
Performance
in
Honours
Arts
and
Business
or
Honours
Arts,
almost
half
of
my
undergraduate
program
will
require
me
to
take
courses
in
this
subject.
A
minor
is
typically
a
group
of
eight
courses
within
a
subject
area
that
is
the
secondary
focus
of
your
university
program,
for
example,
I
could
take
technical
writing
as
my
minor.
If
I
were
to
enroll
in
the
University
of
Waterloo's
Honours
Arts
and
Business
program,
I
would
pursue
a
major
in
English,
specializing
in
literature and
rhetoric,
and
minor
in
Theatre
and
Performance.
I
do
not
need
to
declare
my
major
till
the
end
of
my
first
year
of
study,
but
that
is
not
true
for
every
program.
As
for
a
minor,
I
do
not
have
to
declare
it
at
all
unless
you
want
it
noted
in
your
diploma.
If
I
were
to
enroll
in
Accounting
and
Financial
Management
(AFM)
my
majors
are
already
predetermined
as
I
would
be
working
towards
my
bachelor's
degree
in
Accounting
and
Financial
Management (BAFM).
However,
if
I
were
to
go
into
AFM,
I
would
not
add
a
minor
because
the
AFM
program
is
like
a
double
major
in
both
accounting
and
finance,
so
I
wouldn’t
have
time
to
focus
on
another
subject.

about
majors
and
minors
available
for
the
different
programs
a
university
offers.
