Hi! I am currently a student who has just transferred into NYU stern as a sophomore for this upcoming fall. I’ve been reviewing NYU Stern’s requirements for classes and stuff, and I am super confused. How come some of Stern’s required courses are 4 credits (like EGB and Principles of FA) but you only need 12 credits to fulfill a Stern major. That means 4 classes with each course being worth only 3 credits each. Why are the major classes worth only 3 credits and not 4?

Also, some of my classes that I took before does not seem like it will transfer over and fulfill Stern requirements and so it will instead act as elective credits. This makes me a bit bummed out since I wanted to do a double major in Stern and a minor in CAS. If I did pursue a minor in CAS, I might go over the 128 credit limit. Will I be able to go over the limit, and if so, will it be expensive doing so?

And If I did a second Stern major using my elective credit space, will it again be 16 credits or 12 credits? (I’ve been looking on forums and people having been saying its 12 and others saying 16) I’m new and I’m really confused at the moment.

If you can answer such questions, I will greatly appreciate it!
