Explain College Majors and Minors to me like I’m 5 please

284 views

I’m going to college for the first time and I want to Major in Engineering, didn’t realize I had to choose a minor as well and was thinking about Political Science. Do these 2 pair well as far as long term career benefits go? I’m oblivious to this whole college world…

EDIT: Aerospace Engineering, the Astronautical Branch. Sorry for not including in the original post. I’m just a guy who loves space/spaceflight and finally decided I wanted to do something about it by going to school and try to make a difference in the field. My ultimate dreams/aspirations are to work at NASA.

A major is your area of concentration, what your degree is awarded in. Might be something like 12-15 courses to complete.

Minors are usually optional, and it a focus on another topic of interest but fewer requirements than a major, something more like 7-8 courses.
