I'm planning on majoring in Business at Syracuse, but I'd also like to have a minor. Does anyone have any insight on what the easiest minor to pursue at Syracuse might be?
Your course load as a business major at Syracuse will likely be rigorous, so it's wise to think about how the work for a minor will fit into your schedule. However, determining the "easiest" minor is somewhat subjective, as it can depend on your personal strengths, interests, and goals.
Some students find that choosing a minor closely aligned with their major can help streamline their course work. For instance, as a business major, you might consider minoring in Economics, an area closely related to business with potential crossover in coursework, making for a more seamless integration. Alternatively, minoring in a foreign language or international studies could also be beneficial for a future global business career.
If you have strong skills in a particular area, those courses might seem "easier" to you. For instance, if you've always excelled in mathematics, a minor in a related field could be a good fit.
It’s also worth noting that "easiness" shouldn't be the only factor in your decision. Ideally, you should also consider how a minor can complement your major and future career goals, its relevance to your interests, and the availability and flexibility of required courses. However, if you're really concerned about the workload, speaking with an academic advisor can help. They can provide insight into which minors other business students found manageable and beneficial.
