Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy – LPPS 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 Law, Public Policy, and Society. Three units in the major [Electives] and all lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. Additional units in the major 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 Units
- American Institutions (0 units): The AA-T in Law, Public Policy, and Society Core includes courses that satisfy this requirement.
- 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 the major with the AA-T in Law, Public Policy, and Society are not required to fulfill SF State Studies requirements.
Philosophy Major: 29 Units
- Core/GWAR (20 units)
- Electives (9 units): Three of the 12 total elective units were met in transfer, so students only need to take 9 units of PHIL electives at SF State
University Electives: 25 or More Units
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.
