Monash University Arts Undergraduate Handbook, 1997 - First-year, minor and major sequences

First-year, minor and major sequences

A first-year sequence in classical history and culture comprises either CHC1030 and CHC1040, or one of these subjects plus either ARY1010 or ARY1020. If ARY1010 or ARY1020 are included as part of a sequence in classical history and culture, they cannot, naturally, also form part of a sequence in archaeology.

A minor sequence comprises a first-year sequence in classical history and culture followed by second-year level subjects to the value of sixteen points.
A major sequence comprises a minor sequence followed by third-year level subjects to the value of twenty-four points.

Subjects available for inclusion in minor and/or major sequences are as follows:

A All mainstream classical history and culture subjects offered by the department at second- and third-year level. These are:
