| Note 1: These units should be chosen with regard to the intended Computer Science or Mathematics and Statistics major | |
| Note 2: These units should be chosen with regard to the intended second major in the BCM Course, and if required, the available electives from the University. Students must not complete more than 60 points of Level 1 units in this course. For students planning a second major in Computer Science or Mathematics and Statistics, they must consult the BCM Standard Courses Booklet 2010 for the requirements of the second major. A list of other pre-approved majors available in the University is also contained in the BCM Standard Courses Booklet 2010. | |
