Ideally, you should follow the four-year academic plan as closely as possible, but you are free to make some adjustments so long as the prerequisite requirements are satisfied. *Students must complete four advanced AFST courses from one area of study: a) History & Political Science; or b) Literature, Culture, & the Arts; or c) Society & the Economy. The department chair, with the approval of the chair of the department's undergraduate curriculum committee, may allow substitutions for one or more of these 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 on a regular basis.
