Bachelor of Arts in Labor and Employment Studies - Global Studies (AA-T) or Social Justice Studies (AA-T) 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 Global Studies or Social Justice Studies. 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 taken before transfer.
- Upper-Division GE (9 units): Courses required for the major may double-count if approved for UD GE.
- Students entering the major with an approved ADT 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.
Labor and Employment Studies major: 39-40 units
- Required Courses (18 units)
- GWAR (3 units) - HIST 300GW
- Elective Courses (15 units) – Upper-division LABR courses or cross-listed with LABR not used to satisfy core requirements can be used as electives.
- Final Experience (3-4 units) Internship or Final Research Project
University Electives: 6 units or more
Units depend 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.
