    As I've said in various places on here before and on my profile, I was dual-majoring in Japanese and International Business. Since then, I've decided to only have one major (Japanese) and a minor (my university requires at least 1 major and 1 minor unless you dual major). The thing is though, I'm heavily considering dropping the entire business aspect altogether since it would involve a heavy amount of math which I can't stand. Does anybody here have any ideas for what could be a good minor to pair up with a foreign language major?

    I guess you want to be employable in the future? Unfortunately you need to combine it with either business or engineering degree. Since you dislike math I would go for some sort of a business major. It would help if you provided the list of options offered by your uni.

    Do they need to be related? I guess it depends what you're interested in.

    International Relations?
    Linguistics?
    History/Art History?
    A second language?

    Are there any other programs in the Asian Studies department that interest you?

    It would help to know what type of career you want to have. If you're majoring in Japanese, what purpose do you want to use your education for? Knowing that will help to suggest a minor.

    Some thoughts:
    International Relations
    Political Science
    Journalism
    Art
    History
