*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.

*Students must complete two of the following courses chosen from two genres:

The novel: CMLT 3606, CMLT 3607, CMLT 3609. Drama: CMLT 3610, CMLT 3611.
Other genres: CMLT 3601, CMLT 3602, CMLT 3603, CMLT 3604, CMLT 3605, CMLT 3608, CMLT 3612, CMLT 3613, CMLT 3624, CMLT 3625, CMLT 3626, CMLT 3627, CMLT 3628, CMLT 3629.

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.
