Where students are completing both an Economics and an Agricultural Economics major, an additional senior elective (at ECOS2000 or ECOS3000 level) should be completed for one of the majors, as both majors require the compulsory unit ECOS2001/ECOS2901. Both majors must include at least 36 senior credit points without counting a senior unit i.e. ECOS2001/ECOS2901 towards two separate majors.
