Bachelor of Arts in Race and Resistance Studies – SJS Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) Roadmap

This is a sample roadmap for students who transfer to San Francisco State University in the current Bulletin year with an AA-T in Social Justice Studies with 60 units in transfer. Three units in the major (RRS 100 or equivalent) 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; 30 units minimum at the upper-division level; to include the following:

University-Wide Requirements: 9 Units                                    

  • American Institutions (0 units): US Government, California State and Local Government and US History requirements are fulfilled by required courses.
  • 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 this major with the AA-T in Social Justice Studies 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.

Race and Resistance Studies Major:  27-33 Units

  • Core (24)
  • Course taken for AA-T satisfies RRS 100 (C-ID SJS 110)
  • Electives (3-9 units)
  • In consultation with an advisor, lower-division transfer courses may satisfy up to 6 units.

University Electives: 21 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., UD GE and the major.
