Should I do a minor for my first year?

I want to major in Anthropology, but I'm really nervous that I won't like it. What if a minor in Economics to see if I like that? OR will it be too much?

Hi Jayden,

I'd recommend taking intro classes for both topics first. I took intro to international business - I thought it's what I wanted to major in - and while I liked the topics, I didn't enjoy the work. But my school had general classes I could pick and choose from so I looked for classes I thought MIGHT be interesting. That's how I ended up taking intro to economics and intro to philosophy. I wasn't sure if I'd like either, but I ended up loving both and decided to major in economics and minor in philosophy. I'd do the same for anthropology and economics and see how much you enjoy learning about them. Don't stress too much even if you don't end up liking them - you'll learn more about yourself and get closer to knowing what you really do want to study!

Shout out to economics being awesome btw.

I ditto Isaac's advice if you can choose them as part of your general requirements your first year or if you can do only one of them maybe choose a minor that includes them. Just a thought. You could also take at community college and transfer credit in. Good luck!
