Academic Minors

In today’s competitive professional world, setting yourself apart from other qualified candidates is important when you’re looking to start your career. Completing a minor is a great way to define your areas of expertise, which will give you an advantage during your job search. At University of Bridgeport, you can choose to earn a minor that either complements your current degree program or allows you to explore a completely different interest, helping you meet your personal and professional goals.

Sharpen your focus

Choosing a minor in college allows you to study a more specific area of your major and become an expert in that subject matter, giving you the chance to do a more in-depth investigation within your field. If you already have a specific career goal, this is the perfect opportunity to supplement your education with a complementary program.

Build your brand

Impress prospective employers with your extensive knowledge of a subject matter within your field. You will find that a minor will make you a more marketable candidate for jobs with competitive pay and prestigious titles. For example, choosing to minor in a modern language could make you more sought after in a health services career because you are able to connect with patients more effectively.

Keep your options open

A minor is a great idea for someone with a wide variety of interests because it allows you to gain experience in fields that are sometimes entirely different from one another. If you are having trouble choosing between two majors, you may want to consider minoring in one of those programs, as it leaves the door open for you to pursue that career path in the future.
