Note
The -ing form belongs to the verb alone, and that verb never stands bare. It is always minoring in, with the field placed after the preposition (minoring in history) and never used as a direct object. It serves progressive tenses (she is minoring in music) and also works as a gerund naming the pursuit itself (minoring in art took two years). The adjective minor, whether it means lesser, underage or musical, has no such form.
