Bachelor of Arts in English: Concentration in Literature – ENGL Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) 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 English. Six lower-division units in the major (ENG 218 and ENG 250) and all lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. Additional units in the major may 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 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 English 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.
