Transitioning from high school to college can be confusing at times. You suddenly have to deal with a bunch of new academic terms.

If you are a future college student or maybe a current new student, you’re likely asking yourself, “What is a major in college?” and “What is a minor in college?”

It is even more confusing because it doesn’t end with the terms major and minor. You’re probably also wondering, “What is a concentration in college?” and “What is a double major in college?”
