Approved minor and second major subjects for BAppSc, Courses and subjects

Overview

It is a requirement that every programme for the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAppSc) degree normally includes an approved minor subject or an approved second major subject.

Usually such a minor or second major subject must be selected from the tables below which list the approved combinations of major subjects with minor or second major subjects. However, the course director for the initial major subject may approve a minor or second major subject not listed in the table, provided that the overall combination of subjects and papers constitutes a coherent and integrated programme of study.

Alternatively, but with the same requirement for a coherent and integrated programme, a course director may approve a programme without a specified minor or second major subject but which includes a selection of papers worth at least 90 points, including at least 18 points at 300-level and 54 points above 100-level.
