Bachelor of Science in Computer Science – COMP 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 AS-T in Computer Science. 35 units in the major (MATH 225, MATH 226, MATH 227, PHYS 220/PHYS 222, PHYS 230/PHYS 232, CSC 101, CSC 215, CSC 220, CSC 230, CSC 256) 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: 9-15 Units
- American Institutions (0-6 units): US History, US Government, CA Government. If not met in transfer, see next bullet.
- Upper-division GE (9 units): Courses may satisfy the US History or US/CA Government requirements and UD-C or UD-D at the same time if approved for multiple areas.
- Students entering the major with the AS-T in Computer Science are not required to fulfill SF State Studies and Complementary Studies requirements.
Computer Science Major: 39 Units
MATH 225, MATH 226, MATH 227, PHYS 220, PHYS 222, PHYS 230, PHYS 232, CSC 101, CSC 215, CSC 220, CSC 230, and CSC 256 met in transfer.
- Mathematics: 3 units
- Core Computer Science Requirements: 12 units
- Advanced Computer Science requirements: 9 units
- Major Electives: 15 units
University Electives: 6 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.
