Recommended full-time programs

Students enrolling in this specialisation may need to make a choice about 3rd year electives during the first year. If they wish to study 300 level ACCY then they must study both ACCY100 and ACCY102 in the first year and ACCY221 and/or ACCY231 in the second year. In the standard program (see below) this would be possible only for students who are exempt from CSCI101 or who are willing to study in summer session (for example CSCI121). Accordingly a modified program is also presented. This has the disadvantage of restricting some of the choices of CSCI subjects at 300 level.
