Get 2 minors for no additional time in school?

[ben.herbener]

Hi PF,
Im a grad student (masters in biosystems engineering) with 1 more semester to go and I have already fulfilled my required 24 hours to get my degree. My supervisor and I planned my courses so that I would have the whole last semester to work purely on my thesis.

A ME grad student pointed out to me that I could take 1 pretty easy statistics course, and 1 pretty easy math course and get a minor in both.

I get free tuition from a grant, and have to be in school next semester anyway so it's sounding like a good idea -- however I would have to work more to get my thesis done on time.

So is the extra work (but no extra semester) worth it?

If you are interested in learning the material, do it. If you think somehow two minors will change your life, probably not.
