<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYour major<\/strong> is your main field of study. It is also the field that will be listed on your degree. Each major has a list of required courses you must pass to earn your degree. This usually includes some required core courses, as well as some elective courses. This lets you tailor your studies to your interests and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your minor<\/strong> is a secondary field of study. You need fewer classes to earn a minor. If your minor complements your major, some of the required classes may overlap. For example, a Physics major and a Mathematics minor both require Calculus courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your minor is in a different area of interest, the coursework may not overlap with your major. For example, if you major in Banking and minor in Spanish, there will likely not be any overlapping courses. (But Spanish language skills would still be very useful for a banker!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n MSU Denver offers over 100 diverse majors and minors.
