Degree structure• A degree includes Professional Major, Co-Major and
Minor areas of study
• They are made up of individual subjects called ‘units’ that share a common theme
• A single university degree is comprised of 24 units
• A Professional Major is comprised of 16 units and forms the ‘tag’ of your degree
• A Co-major is 8 units of study
• A Minor is 4 units of study
