Not exactly. For most universities, in your first year or even your second year you tend to complete your general education requirements. These are your englishes, your maths, sciences, histories, etc. After your first year, you get more into your major and your minor. You pretty much do them all at the same time. In the example of myself, I chose a minor in Economics and I've already began taking Economics classes because they were an option for my general education requirements. I'm also planning to minor in Finance but I have not begun taking classes for it. I have begun taking classe that work towards my major though, which is Marketing. I am currently a sophomore at a University.
You can choose both, but no you do not have to. You can into college/university with an 'undeclared major' and choose a major later. Your first two years (at universities) are general studies anyway, meaning you don't take program specific classes anyway. Minors are optional.
About five years!
Depends on the college and your major. There is a general ed requirement of 60-64 credits. Then, depending on your major/minor, 36+ credits. The school I'm at the requirement (total) is 120 credits in 4yrs, though it takes most people 6 because there aren't enough classes. However, I'm transferring to a small, liberal arts school and the total requirement is 128 credits in 4 years.
how many years do you have to go to college to major in criminal justice?
There is no such thing as a minor degree. Typically, four year colleges and universities offer minors in many areas. However, a minor is not a degree nor does it meet the requirements of a degree. Students declare a major program of study (typically four years), and can choose to take with that major, a minor program of study. Still, the degree whether with or without a minor requires - in most cases - your years of study.
4 years
Normally 4 years, but it depends on ur major
Their first year as a baseball team was in 1936 as a PCL minor league team. Their first year as a major league team was 1969
Major and minor political parties nominate candidates for president and vice president every four years during the presidential election cycle.
If you want to finish in 4 years, your minor would be a subject that complements your major. For instance, Art and English Lit might share the fine arts electives. If your major is in art and your minor is in biology, the electives that would contribute to the minor would be completely different, so you would be adding courses to your degree.
I believe you only need a Bachelor's degree, so 4 years in college. I am a criminal justice major myself.
