However, the Earth and Environmental Sciences B.A. major includes two courses (EESC 1101, CHEM 1040 or CHEM 1200) that satisfy Pathways requirements. Therefore, students majoring in Earth and Environmental Sciences B.A. only need to complete 36 additional Pathways credits. All required EESC courses numbered 2000 or higher must be completed with a minimum grade of C-. 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. EESC 1101 and EESC 1201 can be taken in any order, but both should be finished after the first year.
