What are they looking for?

I'm applying for a job, and right below Major/Degree earned it has a required field for additional areas of study. If I didn't have a minor, would I put NA? Would that be acceptable? Should I list a couple other fields I took several courses in, like science? (It's for a tutoring job, btw)

I would think anything relevant to the job, or if you have ever done something outside of your degree seeking. Like if you have ever had CPR training or maybe you took computer classes or something. I would just cram it full of things that would qualify me for the job.

Ditto, if it's potentially relevant and you've got nothing else to put, you might as well write it in you never know what could make the difference!

Matt said it meant more like if I had a minor, and that I should be put N/A. There was a section below for Additional Skills/Experience so I popped stuff in that one.

Matt's wrong. Put down the science courses. They want to know what else you can help with.

For example, when I first went to school I started as an Architecture major and spent a year and a half in that. All of that is now electives, but I can give somebody a good understanding of Architecture 101. That might be useful in a tutoring gig.
