Major-Minor Programs

The precise requirements for these degree programs are listed in the Arts and Science Calendar:

The Computing Major-Minor program combines the Major in Computing (60.0 units in Computing plus 12.0 further units in other subjects as prerequisites or corequisites) with a Minor in an Arts subject (30 core units and up to 6 supporting units) or a Science subject (30 to 36 core and option units and up to 12 supporting units). Similarly, it is possible to combine a Major in any other subject in the Arts or the Sciences with one of the Minors in Computing.

Core and Option Courses: When Plans are combined, the core and option courses used to fulfill the requirements of one Plan cannot be counted towards the core and option requirements of the second Plan. Where there is overlap in the core, the course(s) must be counted as part of the Major Plan and alternate course(s) must be chosen for the minor Plan, in consultation with the Department administering the minor Plan. Alternates may not be allowed where the Department believes that such alternates will compromise the integrity of the degree. Where there is overlap between the core in one plan, and the options in another, or between options in the two plans, a different option must be chosen.

Supporting Units: When Plans are combined the supporting courses in one plan may be counted towards any of the core, option or supporting requirements of the second Plan.
