Bachelor of Arts in Race, Ethnicity, and Health Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) Roadmap

This is a sample pathway for students who transfer to San Francisco State University in the current Bulletin year with and approved ADT. All lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. Additional requirements may have been satisfied. Check with a major advisor about the most appropriate course sequence. Degree completion guaranteed in 60 units; see the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) section for more information.

To Do at SF State:

Enough total units to reach 120 minimum for graduation; 30 units minimum at the upper-division level; to include the following:

University-Wide Requirements: 9-15 Units

  • American Institutions (0-6 units): US History, US Government & CA State and Local Government requirements if not taken before transfer.
  • Upper-division GE (9 units): Courses required for the major may double-count if approved for UD GE. Students should attempt to enroll in a GE 2UD/5D course in the first or second semester in order to complete the upper-division GE requirement.
  • Students entering this major with the ADTs described in the roadmap introduction are not required to fulfill SF State Studies requirements.

Race, Ethnicity, and Health Major: 36 Units

  • Core (12 units): Includes GWAR.
  • Breadth (28 units): Up to 9 units from the ADT may count with the approval of a major advisor.

University Electives: 18 or More Units

Depending on course choices made at the community college, how transferred units are applied to the requirements above, and course choices at SF State - some courses may meet more than one requirement, e.g., in both UD GE and the major.
