Bachelor of Arts in Art History – ARTH Associate Degree for Transfer 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 Art History. Nine units in the major (one lower division studio course, two lower division art history courses) 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; 40 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 taken before transfer
• Upper division GE, areas B, C, and D (9 units): Courses required for the major may double-count if approved for UD GE.
• Students entering the major with the AA-T in Art History 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.

Art (Art History) Major: 30 Units

Lower division requirements satisfied in transfer – six units of art history and three units of studio arts.

• Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (3 units): ARTH 400GW
• Upper Division Art History (12 units): 300–400 level, including at least one course from Groups A, B, and C.
• Advanced Topics in Art History (3 units)
• Elective (3 units): one additional 300–600 level art history course selected by student
• Internship (3 units)
• Capstone (3 units)

University Electives: Eighteen 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. both in UD GE and the major.
