What can declaring a minor do for you?<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/best-colleges\/articles\/2019-10-30\/what-a-college-minor-is-and-why-it-matters\"><em>U.S.A.

During her time at Chapman she traveled to Spain and Paris and studied many different cultures and discovered a passion for foreign lands, including art and architecture, but it was her minor in French that got her to where she is today. After graduation Ogie was accepted into the <a href=\"http:\/\/frenchhighereducation.org\/teaching-assistant-program\">Teaching Assistant Program in France<\/a> (TAPIF). In this program, recipients travel to France and teach English as a second language to French students in public schools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each year, thousands of American undergraduate and graduate students apply to [TAPIF] to spend a year teaching English in France,&#8221; said Dr. John Boitano, Associate Professor and Chair, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/languages\/index.aspx\">Department of World Languages and Culture<\/a>. &#8220;It is a very competitive program,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ogie was able to participate in this opportunity because of her minor in French degree.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Learning a foreign language can impact your life,&#8221; said Ogie. &#8220;Being able to speak another language opens many doors. And it is really cool to live somewhere where they do not speak your native language,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Although teaching English was not Ogie&#8217;s initial idea of a career path, it&#8217;s what she is doing now and she is happy. Chapman can prepare you for many things. Take advantage of what minors are offered in the college&#8217;s departments, such as World Languages and Culture and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/index.aspx\">interdisciplinary minors<\/a>, and immerse yourself in what interests you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Few people are interested in only one thing; the minor program recognizes this and enables you to broaden and deepen your education, to become more well-rounded as a scholar and as a person,&#8221; said Dr. Ian Barbard, Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/glbt-studies.aspx\">LGBTQ Minor Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/index.aspx\">Chapman<\/a> I would not have participated or applied for this opportunity. They instill in you the importance of study abroad, cultural experiences and becoming a global citizen. The work ethic and knowledge you receive through an education at Chapman surely prepares you,&#8221; said Ogie.<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/interdisciplinary-minors\/index.aspx\">Wilkinson&#8217;s interdisciplinary minors<\/a> and majors and minor programs in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/languages\/index.aspx\">World Languages and Cultures<\/a>, as well as the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/communication\/academic-programs\/global-communication-and-world-languages.aspx\">BA in Global Communication and World Languages<\/a> (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish)?
