Students may elect to complete a joint study in another discipline area or choose optional subjects to bring the total number of subjects completed in the course to 24.
Select from a list of subject options approved by the Commerce Faculty Board the number of subjects needed to bring the total number of subjects to 24, ensuring that no more than 4 LEVEL ONE subjects, in addition to the compulsory level one subjects, are completed in the degree. The level of a subject is designated by the first digit in the subject code. ie. ECO100 is a level one subject.
Subjects which duplicate other subjects in the course may not be chosen as options.
A list of the subject options approved by the Faculty of Commerce is included at the end of this section
