Areas of Major Study
Students enrolled in this degree may choose to major in:
* Subjects marked with an asterisk (*) are from the Graduate Additional Subjects List. These preparatory subjects are required in a major if a candidate has not successfully completed a subject with substantially similar content in their previous studies. These subjects should not be selected if a candidate has the required background in the major area. Selection of subjects from the Graduate Additional Subjects List requires prior approval from the course coordinator.
The work completed for the degree can include at most two (2) subjects from the Graduate Additional Subjects list. Subjects marked with a double asterisk (**) are from the IACT Graduate Subjects List and count for the three (3) subject limit for such subjects.
