*The Pathways curriculum is typically 42 credits. However, the Finance major includes a course (BUSN or ECON 3400) that also satisfies a Pathways requirement. Therefore, students majoring in Finance only need to complete 39 additional Pathways credits.

Students must complete three of the following Finance Electives: FINC 3340, FINC 3350, FINC 3377, FINC 3380, FINC 3390, FINC 5001, FINC 5102, FINC 5310, FINC 5330, FINC 5350, ACCT 3021.

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.
