Bachelor of Arts in Comparative and World Literature – ENGL or SPAN 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 the AA-T in English OR the AA-T in Spanish. Up to 12 lower-division units in the major and all lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. 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 the major with the AA-T in English or Spanish 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.
Comparative and World Literature Major: 27–36 Units
See department advisor regarding how to apply ADT units to the degree. Up to 12 literature and up to 3 Spanish language units may be applied.
- Major Core Courses/GWAR (15–18 units): Up to 3 units from the ADT (literature) may be applied if approved.
- Program Electives (12–18 units): Select in consultation with a department advisor. Up to 9 units from the ADT may be applied if approved.
Note: Students may follow one of two advising pathways: Comparative Literature or World Literature. Consult with a department advisor.
University Electives: 9 or More Units
