The minor keys usually have a darker sound and feel to them - as opposed to the major keys which sound generally brighter. The minor keys are based on the sixth degree of a given major scale (lets take D major as an example, if we go up six steps in this scale we get the notes D, E, F♯, G, A, and B). So B minor will have the same key signature as D major (with two sharps). In a major scale there are four semitones between the first and third degrees of the scale but in minor keys there are only three semitones. So in the D major scale the third scale degree (mediant) is F♯ but the same degree in D minor if F♮ (natural). As with the major keys, minor keys can also contain up to seven sharps or flats in their key signature too.
As with any key, you should simply look at the note it starts on and count back 3 semi tones. For example... I am in the key of G MajorG, Gb. F, EThe relative minor of G Major is e minor. For further assistance I would suggest that you take a look atPiston/DeVoto Harmony 5e. Its what we use at Harvard.
It depends on the course of studies laid out in your particular degree program. I had a major and a double minor in music, and I had to take no math classes at all in college. But in a Liberal Arts curriculum, I'm almost certain you'd have at least one math class.
The key signature can be found at the beginning of a staff right after the clef. There are a couple shortcuts one can take to determine the key of a peice based on how many sharps or flats there are in a given key signature. If the key signature is composed of sharps, then one can determine the key based on the position of the last sharp (the rightmost sharp). Using the solfege scale (Do, Re, Mi, etc... --think "Sound of Music") The Key of the song will be on Do. i.e, if a song is in the key of C, then Do will be on C. Key of G, do will be on G. In a key signature composed of sharps, the last sharp will be on Ti, which is one note below Do. So, if the last sharp is an F#, then the key will be G. If the last sharp is a C#, then the key will be D. If the last sharp is a G#, then the key will be A. if the last sharp is a D#, then the Key will be E. If a key signature is composed of flats, one can determine the key based on the position of the second to last flat. One can find this by first finding the last flat (the rightmost flat) and then finding the flat imediately previous. The second to last flat will be the key. If there are two flats, then the last flat will be Eb, the flat previous to the last will be Bb. The song will be in the key of Bb. If there are three flats. The last flat is Ab, the second to last is Eb, the Key is Eb. Four flats, last flat is Db, second to last is Ab. The key is Ab. If there is one flat. The song is in the key of F. If there are no sharps or flats, the song is in the key of C. This is the easy method to determine a key signature. One can also use a chart called the Circle of Fifths. One can find this by typing "Circle of Fifths" into an internet search engine. Starting at the Key of C, every sharp moves the key up a fifth, every flat moves the key down a fifth. If there is one sharp, the key will be one fifth above C, which is the Key of G. A second sharp will move the key up one fifth from G, which is the Key of D. If there is one flat, the hey will be one fifth below C, which is the key of F. A second flat will move the key one fifth below F, which is the Key of Bb. Please Note, these methods are for finding MAJOR keys. Another popular scale is the MINOR scale. Each key signature will have a major and minor scale. Keys are frequently named by their major scale. i.e., the key of F, refers to an F major scale. To find a minor key, first find it's correspinding major key. If there are no flats or sharps, then one knows that the Key is C Major. To find the correspinding minor key of C Major, count three half- steps down from C. Three half-steps down from C is the note A. If there are no sharps or flats, then the Key is either C Major or a minor. Minor chords and keys are frequently notated with a lowercase letter, while major chords and keys are frequently notated by an Uppercase letter. If there is one sharp, one knows that the key is G Major. Three half-steps down from G is E. So the key is either G Major or e minor. One flat is the key of F Major. Three half-steps down from F is D. So the key is either F Major or d minor. The major scale, and minor scale are the two most popular scales. So a song will usually either be in a major or minor key. To determine whether the key of a song is major or minor, one must analyze the tonal center of the song. If the song seems to resovle to a minor chord, then it is mostly likely in a minor key. If the song seems to resolve to a major chord, then the song is most likely in a major key. In a three-note major chord, the first interval will be a Major 3rd. The second interval will be a minor 3rd. In a three-note minor chord, the first interval will be a minor 3rd, and the second interval will be a Major 3rd.
The requirements differ from one country to another, but a good example is Michigan: Elementary education classes are pretty much prescribed by the program. Unless your declared major or minor is math, you will be required to take only those classes that are university requirements. Generally, that is algebra.
All degree seeking students declare a major. Some will also declare a minor to supplement or enhance their major. Taking a minor along with the major is very common.
Not necessarily. To obtain a bachelor's degree one must declare a major. A student can choose to take a minor, however it is not a requirement.
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.
Go to college, get admitted, take the classes, and declare it.
You can take a minor in Spanish with any major. However, The major and minor system is really particular to bachelors degrees.
Count up a sixth from the major (C) to find the minor (A).

A minor chord is major third on top of a minor third. to make a minor chord take a major chord and move the middle note down a half step
Usually, you take a major and reduce the mediant by a half-step.
There are individuals who take a double major at the college or university. However, try not to spread your scope too wide. I feel it would be better to focus on your primary career objective. If you wish, you can take a minor to enhance your major. For example, If your major is business, and you would like to work for a global or international business, perhaps taking a minor in another language would be beneficial.
It is a possibility to take courses at another college while attending your primary institution. Some courses may even apply toward your degree with prior approval. However, they would not be indicated as a minor.
If you are doing a double major I wouldn't do a minor. One major and a minor is enough to keep people working hard to graduate. What you have to ask yourself is why you are doing so much? Will it get you are better job? What are your goals? Or are you just showing off?
