Say What?
Not sure what we’re even talking about? Lingo definitions:
“Major”
A major is a specific area of study you’re focusing on while earning your degree. When you choose a major, about a third to half of your courses will focus on that academic area.
“Minor”
A minor is a secondary area of study you can choose to specialize in, beyond your major. You don’t have to declare a minor, but it can complement what you major in — or give you time to learn about an unrelated subject or passion.
“Certificate”
A certificate is a more targeted and specific short-term program you can earn in (usually) a matter of months compared to years like a degree. Certificate programs can help you get into a certain career, boost a specific skillset, or help increase your salary later on.
“Degree”
A degree is what you earn/receive when you have passed your series of courses in your major. There are four types of degrees: associate degree (typically 2-year undergraduate programs), bachelor’s degree (typically 4-year undergraduate programs), master’s or graduate degrees (typically 2-year degrees, completed after an undergraduate degree), and doctorate or professional degrees.
“College”
A college is a way to organize degree programs by academic theme or area of study. A university is a collection of colleges together. Ohio University’s colleges
