†The Pathways curriculum is typically 42 credits. However, the Economics B.A. major includes a course (BUSN 3400 or ECON 3400) that also satisfies a Pathways requirement. Therefore, students majoring in Economics B.A. only need to complete 39 additional Pathways credits.
Students must achieve a grade of C or better in at least three of the following courses: ECON 2100 or BUSN 2100, ECON 2200 or BUSN 2200, ECON 3400 or BUSN 3400, ECON 3410 or MATH 2101.
The four-year degree map is designed to help you take the right courses in the right order so you can graduate in four years. It also helps you distinguish what courses qualify as Pathways courses, or Major courses, or General Elective courses. Ideally, you should follow the four-year degree map as closely as possible, but you are free to make some adjustments so long as the prerequisite requirements are satisfied.
In conjunction with the four-year degree map, you should review Degree Works, and the Brooklyn College website, for an approved list of courses in your major. Overall, it is best to review your academic plan with your advisor on a regular basis.
