Bachelor of Arts in Humanities – ARTH 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 Art History. Three units in the major (Additional Course) 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: 9–15 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 Upper-Division GE.
- Students entering the major with the AA-T in Art History 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 best be applied to this requirement to ensure degree completion within 60 units.
Humanities Major: 39 Units
Three units from the Art History AA-T may be applied to the Additional Courses area.
- Core (15 units) – includes a GWAR-designated course.
- Cross-Cultural Studies (6 units).

- American Culture Studies (6 units).
- Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Culture Studies (6 units).
- Additional Courses (0 units – consult with a major advisor about applying units from the AA-T).
