Double Major help! (1 Viewer)

[idunnoman]

i've decided to do a double major in accounting and finance and i have selected the required 4 subjects (24UOC) for semester 1.
ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A
ECON1101 Microeconomics 1
ECON1202 Quantitative Methods A
FINS1612

after completing my timetable and everything, it only requires me to go to the uni 12 hours a week. is this correct?

also, is this double major equivalent to doing both majors by themselves and just more work?

thx for any help!

for law/comm,
acct and finance share the same core subjects:
ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A
ECON1101 Microeconomics 1
ECON1202 Quantitative Methods A

and plus one extra, another major or degree (fins in ur case).. 12 hours look right to me for a single degree. it should be right, though you should confirm with someone else.

Looks fine. Double major means that instead of spending all your extra credit points everywhere, you'll use them for a specific specialisation such as finance, etc. Hours spent at uni is gives no indication as to whether your doing a double/single major.

As for ":is this double major equivalent to doing both majors by themselves and just more work?", I think its actually less work because you do more credit points in accounting subjects for a single accounting degree.

does it matter if u dont do the subjects of electives in order? for example do FINS for both sem 1 and sem 2 for the first year, then start doing ACCT in the 2nd year? do we just need to finish all 14 subjects of both majors within the 3 years and thats alright?

 

[drmix]

it does not matter at all

as long by the end of 3 years

u have done the core subjects, 7 acct, 7 fins and the gen eds

i havent looked at the full program...but i no that for FINS2624 u need to do FINS1613 b4 (prerequisite)

 

[Haku]

drmix is exactly rite, you gotta do fins1613 in 1st year, cos it's the pre-requisite to pretty much 90% of finance courses other than 1612, i wouldn't recommend someone to do transactions in first year anyway.....

 

[Raginsheep]

Just noticed, why are you doing 1sy year subjects in later years and 2nd year subjects in first year?
