B.A. in Political Science 2014-2015 This is a sample roadmap for students who transfer to San Francisco State University in 2014-2015 with an AA-T in Political Science with 60 units in transfer. 3-9 units in the major and all lower division GE requirements have been satisfied. 1st Semester at S.F.

Units 3-4 3-4 3 3 1-3 4th Semester at S.F. State 2It is possible that some courses taken for the AA-T might be substituted for major electives. Consult with your major advisor. However, community courses are lower division so you must make sure to take at least 40 upper division units at SF State. To Do at SF State: Enough total units to reach 120 minimum for graduation; 40 units minimum at the upper division level; to include the following: University wide requirements: 9-15 units  ENG 214 if not completed prior to transfer (3 units; please note that if you transfer in needing ENG 214, you must complete it before taking a course in the major to satisfy GWAR)  American Institutions (3 units): US History requirement if not completed prior to transfer. Please note: it is highly likely that you completed the US Government and California State and Local Government requirements as part of the AA-T. Check your DARS report to see whether this requirement is satisfied. If not, complete the requirement in place of a University Elective.  Upper Division GE (9 units)  Students entering the major with the AA-T in Political Science are not required to fulfill university Overlay requirements. Fulfillment of Complementary Studies for the major is required only if these courses are included in the minimum units required for the major. Consult with a department advisor. Political Science major: 32-38 units [PLSI 200 met in transfer]  Core (4-10 units): PLSI 300, and PLSI 250 and 275 if not met in transfer  Breadth (12 units): One upper division course from three of five sub-fields  Major Electives (16 units)  Note: to satisfy the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) one of the courses in the major must have the GW suffix University electives: 7-19 units depending on the number of units transferred, course choices made at the community college, and how transferred units are applied to the requirements above. This roadmap is a sample pathway. Check with a major advisor regarding the most appropriate course sequence for you.
