1. What minor did you pursue? And where?
Organization Sciences at Tilburg University (TSB).
2. Why did you choose this?
I found the organization-focused courses in my bachelor’s interesting, so I decided to investigate whether I would also find a study that focuses entirely on organizations interesting.
3. What courses did you take?
Organization Development
Relations And Networks of Organizations (RANO)
Strategic Decision Making
Innovation, Organizations, & Entrepreneurship
Organizational Development
4. Did you move to Tilburg for this minor?
No, I already lived in Tilburg.
5. Did you like it?
I didn’t really like the minor itself: while doing it, I realized that Organizational Science wasn’t really for me and that CIS actually was the best fit for me. This was (obviously) not the result you hope for when you start a minor, but nevertheless it is a nice insight to have.
6. Was it difficult to transition?
I started this minor at the “wrong” time, taking the introductory course Organization Theory as my last course. This caused me to feel like I was missing out on knowledge in many courses because the courses build on a lot of the theory from this course.
In the end, this “lag” was not so bad, because I took some time to look up these theories in many courses.
7. Did you know someone that also did this minor?
No.
