There are various course-sequences students can follow to complete the major. The order outlined above is simply one suggestion, among many, and meant more as a general guide for Philosophy majors. Therefore, please feel free to make some adjustments, so long as prerequisite requirements are observed. *Students must complete one of the following business concentrations: Marketing/Management: BUSN 3240 or PSYC 3172, BUSN 3100, BUSN 3130, BUSN 3200 ,or Finance: ACCT 2001, BUSN 3400 or ECON 3400, and two of the following: ECON 3320, FINC 3310, FINC 3330 The department Chair, with the approval of the Chair of the department's curriculum committee, may allow substitutions for one or more course requirements, consistent with the educational goals of the program. 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 regularly.
