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. Heritage speakers may register for SPAN 1038 in lieu of SPAN 1010, 1020, and 1030. After completing SPAN 1038, heritage speakers should register for SPAN 2018 before beginning more advanced courses in the major. Please consult with the chairperson of the Modern Languages Department to determine or confirm the proper course sequence for you. If the student is a native speaker, or has taken advanced courses in high school, the first SPAN course at Brooklyn College should be SPAN 2120 or an equivalent composition course. The student can then take SPAN 2030W the following term. 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.
