A major is the primary field of study a student chooses to focus on during their undergraduate education. It typically consists of a set of required courses that provide in-depth knowledge and skills in a specific academic discipline.
A minor is a secondary field of study that requires fewer courses than a major. It allows students to explore another area of interest or complement their major with related knowledge.
A double major involves completing the requirements for two different majors simultaneously. This option allows students to gain expertise in two distinct fields but often requires careful planning and a heavier course load.
