36 Pathways Credits*

73 Major Credits

11 General Elective Credits

120 Total Credits

*The Pathways curriculum is typically 42 credits. However, the Mathematics Teacher 7-12 major includes two courses (MATH 1011 and SEED 2001) that also satisfy Pathways requirements. Therefore, students majoring in Mathematics Teacher 7-12 only need to complete 36 additional Pathways credits.

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.

All mathematics courses offered to satisfy the requirements for a major in mathematics teacher must be completed with a grade of C- or higher.

Students must have a GPA of 2.70 or higher based on a minimum of 30 credits in liberal arts and sciences to take SEED 2001 and 2002.

Students must have a B- in both SEED 2001 and 2002 and a GPA of 2.75 or higher based on a minimum of 30 credits in liberal arts and sciences to continue to SEED 3401, and/or SEED 3402, and/or SEED 3456.

To take SEED 4403, students must have an overall GPA of 2.75 or higher, a B- or better in both SEED 3401 and SEED 3402 or permission of the Secondary Education program head, department chair, or deputy.

To take SEED 4409, students must earn a B- or better in SEED 4403, a GPA of 2.75 or higher in their major and permission of the Secondary Education program head, department chair, or deputy.

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.
