5 | Complementary Studies Bachelor of Arts students must complete 12 units of Complementary Studies outside of the primary prefix for the major and not cross-listed with the primary prefix for the major. Students who complete two majors or a major and a minor automatically complete the Complementary Studies requirement. Students in the Race and Resistance Studies major may also satisfy the Complementary Studies requirement by completing one of the following options:
Upon consultation with an advisor, student may designate a coherent group of courses complementary to the major. For example, students may complete 12 units in a related area such as health disparities; genders and sexualities; revolutionary thinkers; cultural production and representation; social justice; civic & community engagement; fantastic futures; or religiosities and spiritual movements. With the approval of an advisor in the major, courses that fulfill the Complementary Studies requirement may be lower- or upper-division units, resident or transfer units. |
6 | Major Electives - 12 units Three RRS Courses - 9 units One AA S, AFRS, AIS, LTNS, or RRS Course - 3 units San Francisco State University is located within the territories of the Ohlone peoples and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (the Coastal Miwok and Southern Pomo peoples), so we recommend students consider AIS 160 or AIS 420 when selecting their electives. At least six elective units should be upper-division. |
