my minor in Math isn't "official", don't know how to explain it on resume
I took all the required classes needed to obtain a minor in Math from my graduating school, but unfortunately more than half the classes were transfer credits from my first school I transferred out of after my first year. Since my graduating school requires more than half the credits to be taken there, I have no minor to show for on my transcript even though I took every class necessary to obtain it, just at separate institutions. Pretty pissed because I wasn't made aware of this rule before taking the final 2 math classes required for the minor at my graduating school, essentially wasting money on 8 credits. But anyways...
I'm in the process of applying to jobs now and I don't want to lie on my resume and say "Bachelor of Science in Physics; Mathematics Minor" but how else can I effectively communicate that I basically do have a minor in math, it's just not "official"? Say "concentration in Mathematics" or something and then explain in the interview?
I'm not really sure how to word this on my resume, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
