†The Pathways curriculum is typically 42 credits. However, the Public Accounting, & Business Management major includes a course (BUSN 3400 or ECON 3400) that also satisfies a Pathways requirement. Therefore, students majoring in Public Accounting, & Business Management only need to complete 39 additional Pathways credits.
This five-year degree map is designed to help you take the right courses in the right order so you can graduate in five years. It also helps you distinguish what courses qualify as Pathways courses, or Major courses, or General Elective courses. Ideally, you should follow this five-year degree map as closely as possible, but you are free to make some adjustments so long as the prerequisite requirements are satisfied.
Students must achieve a grade of C or better in each of the required Accounting courses. This 150-credit undergraduate program is designed to allow students to meet the requirements of New York State for licensure as a CPA, while also obtaining sufficient required courses in the Business Management major. New York State currently requires candidates for licensure to have a total of 150 credits, including 33 credits in accounting and tax, and a total of 69 credits in business.
*The program allows a choice between data analytics (BUSN 3421 or CISC 2590) and fundamental mathematical tools of economics, including calculus (BUSN 3410 or ECON 3410 or MATH 3410). Data analytics is in demand in many business fields, while calculus is required for certain Finance courses, and is very helpful to students planning advanced study in economics and finance, or doctoral study.
In conjunction with this five-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.
