Founded in 1857, San José State University (SJSU) is a major, comprehensive public university located in the center of San José, California – the heart of Silicon Valley. A member of the 23-campus California State University (CSU) System, SJSU is the oldest state university in California and fifth largest campus in the system. Its distinctive character has been forged by its long history, its location and its vision – a blend of the old and the new; the traditional and the innovative. Among its most prized traditions is an uncompromising commitment to offer access to higher education to all persons who meet the criteria for admission, and to provide for and support a faculty that is active in scholarship, research, technological innovation, community service and the arts.

As a university fully engaged in education at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, one that holds the Carnegie Foundation classification for Community Engagement and serves as a flagship campus of the CSU system, San José State is deeply committed to its students, both graduate and undergraduate, and their success. As such, the research endeavor must play a role in both graduate and undergraduate education in a way that aligns with the mission and recognizes the unique role research can play in helping to prepare students for future career opportunities, developing highly adaptable skill sets and creating mentoring opportunities with faculty.

The university’s diverse student body of more than 35,000 brings an inherent creativity that can be harnessed to address and solve pressing problems facing society today. Likewise, the CSU educates some of the most diverse students in the state. Many of these students aspire to have careers in academia and are the pipeline for future diverse educators and scholars. The University community is proud of its cultural diversity across all constituencies.

Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the University’s academic colleges include: Health and Human Sciences; the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business; the Connie L. Lurie College of Education; the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering; Humanities & the Arts; Science; Social Sciences; Graduate Studies; and International and Extended Studies.

SJSU is an exceptional place for hands-on learning, professional development and personal growth. The University has constructed or renovated several facilities in the last few years, and the campus occupies 19 blocks in downtown San José with 23 academic buildings and seven residence halls. Located 1.5 miles away on 62 acres is the South Campus, which includes the Spartan Stadium and athletics fields.
