Admissions Requirements

CSU Eligibility Requirements

First-Time, First-Year applicants must first meet the CSU eligibility requirements for admission. Learn about the A-G courses required for admission and how an Eligibility Index is calculated. Applicants are then reviewed for provisional admission through our Program-Based Admission Selection process, which considers additional major-specific admission criteria.

Program-Based Admission Selection

After reviewing the CSU Eligibility Requirements, learn about SJSU's Program-Based Admission Selection process and how admission criteria may vary by major as SJSU admits new students each year.

Coursework Outside the United States

If you have taken coursework outside the United States, your requirements for admission may be different. Please review the Coursework Outside the United States and the Program-Based Admission Selection pages for details.
