Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology – ANTH 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 an AA-T in Anthropology. Nine units in the major (ANTH 100, ANTH 110, ANTH 120) and all lower-division GE requirements 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, California State and Local Government requirements if not completed prior to transfer.
- Upper-Division GE Areas 2UD/5UD, 3UD, and 4UD (9 units): Courses required for the major may double-count if approved for UD GE.
- Students entering this major with the AA-T in Anthropology are not required to fulfill SF State Studies requirements.
- Complementary Studies: Consult with a department advisor on how transfer units and/or SF State units can be applied to ensure degree completion within 60 units.
Anthropology Major: 31 Units
(ANTH 100, ANTH 110, ANTH 120 met in transfer)
- Foundation Core (includes GWAR, ANTH 300, and ANTH 130): 9 units.
- Area 1 – Theory and Foundations: 3 units.
- Area 2 – Methods and Practicum: 4 units
- Electives in ANTH: 15 units.
- At least one UD course in Area One or Two or electives must be taken in each of 3 subfields: Biological, Cultural/Visual, and Archaeology.
University Electives: 23 or More Units
Depends 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 in the major.
