Professional Major (200 – 225 cps, i.e. 16 – 18 units)

• includes all the requisite foundation units; and
• has a clearly identifiable professional outcome; and/or
• satisfies any relevant external professional-body accreditation requirements.

Where a student has completed the requirements of a Professional Major and the degree requirements they are eligible to apply to graduate with the appropriate tagged degree outcome.
Co-Major (100 cps, 8 units)
A Co-Major is a sequence of study focussed on a specific discipline while assuming no prior knowledge on the part of the student. It is self-contained, in that it includes any requisite foundation studies. Where a student has studied a Co-Major they are not normally eligible to apply to graduate with the associated tagged degree outcome.
Minor (4 units)
Minors are a prescribed set of units that may broaden a student’s learning, such as a set of units from different disciplines, typically derived as a subset of a Major or Co-Major. Minors contain no elective choice and are made up of 4 units (50 cps). Subject to faculty approval some unit substitution is allowable.
