To Do at SF State:
Enough total units to reach 120 minimum for graduation; 40 units minimum at the upper division level; to include the following:
University-Wide Requirements: 9–18 Units
- ENG 214 or equivalent A4 course (0–3 units) if not taken before transfer
- 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 B, C and D (9 units): See notes for courses that satisfy both major and UD GE requirements.
- 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: 30-31 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: 4-6 units (if 6 units taken, reduce ANTH electives to 12)
- 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: 18 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.
