For me personally, I found the first two years of my computer science degree to be focused on the "how" of computer science. Getting the basics down so we could move on to the "why." Years three and four was where I truly came to appreciate computer science. Algorithms, discrete math and lots of applied theory are the cornerstones of what I use today, all of which came in the later years. With that said, if you can front load most of the later classes earlier, a minor could prove just as valuable.
