Picking a minor

[msannaa]

I've always wondered what it meant to have a minor in something. I have been looking into available minor degree plans at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. I have asked my adviser and my mentor about picking a minor. What are the options? What would be the best option. Would this be beneficial in my future endeavors? I've pretty much gotten the same answer from everyone on the subject - they are not mandatory, and most nursing students pick psychology.

I am starting the BSN program in August. Eventually, I would like to study to become a nurse midwife. TAMUCC offers a minor in women/gender studies that sounds fascinating. My adviser suggested that I talk to someone who is familiar with labor and delivery to get their opinion. The classes sound fascinating! I am really hoping that minoring in women/gender studies would be suitable for my future. Any thoughts?

If you don't already speak Spanish, that would be very valuable as a nurse and as a midwife.
