Feb. 24, 2011 – The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) are proposing major changes in the way in which companies report their leasing transactions. In this CreditMatters TV segment, Standard & Poor’s Director Len Grimando weighs in on the proposed lease accounting changes, including changes to lessee and lessor accounting, and to lease disclosures.
I need to enroll into 3 units (subjects) this semester. 2 of the units are fixed and the other one is an open elective. I can’t find a list of elective subjects in the website but found 2 links – ‘majors’ and ‘minors’.
Q. 1 – What is the difference between the two? The lists look almost the same! (Please explain 
I really have no idea!)
Q. 2 – If I am taking a interior design degree, do I have to choose something relevant to design for the open elective? Can I choose e.g. Minor in Accounting or Major in Public Health instead?
Thanks xx

Shouldn’t you be asking this question of your UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS, rather than an international forum for the discussion of travel?
Cause the requirements vary by university and major/minor!
A “major” is what you want to focus more on or specialise in when you complete the course. Take a “minor” as something you would want to study as a hobby, but not necessarily want to pursue a career in. For example, if I wanted to do a B Arts, I would choose to major in Psychology and maybe have a minor in a language. A minor basically makes you look more attractive and qualified to employers.
For Q2, I’m only a first year student so I’m not too sure but the degree you graduate with is the combination of the relevant or necessary units you study or have studied. You can carry units over to another course, provided they are relevant to the new course you wish to transfer to but Accounting and Public Health are not related to Interior Design and you will probably not be credited for it.
Hope this has helped.
