Several requirements have been removed (or made optional) to make room for students to complete the WQB requirements.
In addition, presentation has been simplified, removing the departmental requirement headings.
In order to fulfill the university mandate that all programs meet the university WQB requirements within a 120 credit limit, the follow changes have been recommended for the CMPT-MBB joint major:
With these changes, no courses are lost, an upper division writing intensive course is added and all breath requirements can be met within a 120 credit minimum.
