Degree Program Requirements

Each graduate program has unique admission requirements. Select from the list below to explore your program's admission criteria and application instructions.

Required tests are associated with a student’s academic record and are applicable to individual degree programs. Graduate programs may require submission of additional application materials.

Please identify your program requirements by selecting the hyperlinks provided within the listed tables.

Note: A Cal State Apply application is required for consideration to any program. 

Departmental Requirements Upload Form

The Departmental Requirements Upload Form may be utilized to submit graduate program-specific admission documents. You must research your program’s Degree Program Requirements below to verify if the graduate program you applied for requires additional admission criteria separate from the Cal State Apply application.

Submission of departmental requirements should occur after the submission of your Cal State Apply application AND after you have activated your SJSUOne account.

Approximately 5-7 days after submission of your Cal State Apply application, you will receive an email with the subject line “Activate SJSUOne” containing your assigned nine-digit SJSU ID#. You will be able to use the SJSU ID# to activate your SJSUOne account. This will enable you to upload departmental requirements, if needed.

Important Submission Note: If the program you are applying to has different instructions for submitting departmental application materials (i.e. in Cal State Apply’s Program Materials section, to the department directly), please follow their specific instructions and disregard this form. You should only follow and use the graduate program’s instructions and deadlines for material submission.
