Brooklyn college math majors handbook

The courses listed within the black boxes are the requirements to complete the program you have selected.

• Click the icon in the box below to see requirements underneath the headers.
• You can click 'Select Transfer College' to select which college (up to three) you are transferring from, to review any courses that can be taken to satisfy these requirements.

These requirements are based on the Degree Works programming used by Brooklyn College for determining financial aid eligibility and graduation requirements. If there are any differences between what you see here and the college bulletin, please let us know. In all cases, the college bulletin is the definitive source of information about requirements.

This is still very much a work in progress, so please report any issues or feedback to us, we want to hear from you!

• All colleges have a general residency requirement as well as a 'Major Residency' requirement. For example, if a major is 40 credits, most colleges will require that at least 20 of those credits are taken "in residence" AKA after you transfer.
• Many programs may have a GPA requirement for a course to apply.
• We always show what’s in the blocks as of today. No history.
