From the perspective of employment, SJSU is not inferior to many prestigious schools. First of all, SJSU is a coder production factory, a distribution center for high-paying people in Silicon Valley. It is down-to-earth to give people who want to embark on the "code" path, and it is an opportunity to get ashore. Secondly, compared with other transcoding schools, SJSU tuition fees are low. With low tuition fees + high employment rate, SJSU has completely cracked the insurmountable myth of a Chinese people - do you have to go to a prestigious school if you make a name for yourself? No! yes! If you have a prestigious school complex, please go away. If you are a affordable Labor Party member, this post is for you!

SJSU is a school that exists like a god. Its ranking is not very good. After returning to China, many people even think it is a pheasant, but it is the mainstay of employment in Silicon Valley. Even when the epidemic is at its worst, I have never heard of anyone who can’t find a job from San Jose!
Why! ? !
Because many people who go to San Jose are already high-level coders, San Jose is just a springboard to help them enter Silicon Valley. Many of these are from the Second Research Institute. Shen San Jose’s intention is not to drink, but to enter the Silicon Valley with “Runmei”.
So those ordinary coders who graduated from 985 in China, don’t think that when you come to San Jose, you can implement a dimensionality reduction attack. This is actually a place beyond heaven. In addition, because employment has been so good in previous years, it has formed a healthy operation, and the power of the alumni network in the Silicon Valley circle cannot be underestimated. After all, large factories are very interested in internal recommendations.
is suitable for the people:
- has a basic programming foundation, and I want to find a springboard to enter Silicon Valley
- has certain work experience. Second-industry group
- has a solid work experience and has overwhelmed the wall with work experience. I hope to study in the United States
- Undergraduate school is good but the grades are average
is not suitable for the people:
- Novice who has no foundation wants to transcode
- Want to do academic
- After graduation, I didn’t think about what to do. What to do. I plan to study for a postgraduate
- wants to return home after graduation (to be honest, this school diploma is not very good to return home)
- No matter what the undergraduate school is, the undergraduate school is too poor, San Jose is not suitable for gilding, nor can it be plated. It is not gold enough
- but not suitable for too excellent. If you can go to top 20, don’t come to San Jose. If you can’t enter top 70, it is worth considering
SJSU, who is San Jose State sacred
was founded in 1857, referred to as SJSU, is one of the oldest universities in , California , and is famous for its high employment rate. The most prominent feature of this school is that it is located in Silicon Valley, a holy place for high-tech entrepreneurship. The school also cleverly used this regional advantage to set up courses by surveying Silicon Valley enterprises and social needs, which strengthened the practicality of the course itself.
has really become a Silicon Valley coder production factory. Statistics say that the school sends more graduates to Silicon Valley than any university in the world, allowing many coders who go out from here to become high-paying groups after graduation.
SJSU Americans are considered a second-rate university, and the level of local students who come into undergraduate studies is really average. However, graduate programs, especially popular programs like CS, are well-known because the people who come here have clear goals. Most of them are international students who decide to graduate and study in the United States to find a job, so the quality is actually OK.
Indian coders have a lot of skills, all of which are good. It is possible to get a CS course, so don't take it lightly. One of the authors of "Java Core Technology" which is very popular in China, has taught at SJSU for many years. WhatsApp founder Jan Koum also came from SJSU. So you said that although this school graduates, although it is a second-rate, how can you be discriminated against in Silicon Valley? How could it be a stumbling block to your job search? Overall, SJSU is actually a comprehensive university, but the most famous and valued school is the School of Engineering. Among them, the CS and SE programs are more popular among Chinese students. SE is relatively friendly to students who transcode.
- CS project
configuration: SJSU CS graduate department has a total of 15 full-time professors, with professor subjects covering: big data, software engineering, security, networking, machine learning, and bioinformatics. In addition, there are also visiting lecturers from major Silicon Valley factories (Google, IBM, etc).
Whether it is watery or not: it depends on how you choose a course. Overall, the intensity of courses is not small. The graduation requirement is to take 10 professional courses, each subject has at least three small assignments, mid-term final exams and a project. But considering that many students are studying while working, many classes are arranged in the evening.
Learning atmosphere: The learning atmosphere is good, but not for the course. Since most people come to SJSU to find a job, the atmosphere of writing questions is strong, and those who are close to the red will be very popular. Choosing the right circle will help you find a job.
Course selection: There are many students, so you should choose the course as early as possible, otherwise you may not have a seat if you want to take it.
- SE project
When applying for CS in San Jose in the early years, the applicant did not require a bachelor's degree to be CS. In recent years, there are more people applying, so they will naturally get started. Basically, if you are not a CS student in undergraduate studies, it will be difficult to enter the CS program. At this time you can choose to go to SE. There are many people who transcode science and engineering in SE, which are relatively friendly projects to switch majors.
Although SJSU is a second-rate school, most of the people who come from SE are without a junior college background, don’t underestimate your classmates. Many of them are second-graduate graduate students, and the former is a prestigious school. In fact, they are already working in OPT, a large Silicon Valley factory, and there are also old people who have not won the H1B score and have to return.
distinguishes SE and CE. SE and CE are two parallel majors in the School of Engineering. You can go to either one. The difference is that SE only studies software, CE=software+hardware. For the conversion of
transcoding, you need to take three additional courses in Os, database and programming (c++) in the first semester. The most popular one in
SE is Data Science specialization, with very ideal employment prospects and no worse than CS. There is a Chinese mentor named Su in
SE. It is said that he takes great care of Chinese students. If you have research opportunities, you will consider your compatriots first. In terms of application requirements for direct application of

, since San Jose is not very high, or it can be said that it is not ranked directly, so some people will think it is suitable to be at the bottom, but it is not. It can be one of your multiple choices, but don't expect to use it to rank at the bottom, because there are too many applicants every year, which makes the final applicants have a larger amplitude of the conditions and it is difficult to predict the results.

login Cal State Apply web page, register an account to submit the following information:
- undergraduate diploma (for domestic ones, please go to the certification)
- official transcript (WES certified)
- Minimum requirements: GPA2.5
- Theoretically, you can apply for 2.5, but it is strongly recommended to apply for 3.0+. After all, the number of applicants has increased year by year, and the school has selected the best. In recent years, there is basically no chance of being below 2.7.
- This year, the average GPA of Chinese admissions is around 3.3-3.4
- GRE

(1) The conditional/double admission course enrolls students throughout the year, and there is no need to wait for a specific application date and there is no so-called application deadline.
(2) International Gateways is an independent academic unit under the SJSU Tower Foundation. It can issue an admission notice (I-20) on its own, but all courses and offices are on the San Jose State University campus.
Theoretically, applying for CS must also be a CS. If your degree certificate is not CS, but it is actually some majors under CS colleges. For example, some schools will offer sub-items such as Data analysis under CS colleges. You can explain it when submitting the application.
But there are many people who want to go to San Jose for CS background. Many times the reason people receive is limited space.This means that you actually meet the official standards, but you have been compared by those who applied at the same time. The reason why many people are compared is that there is no CS with capital bold in the undergraduate degree. So San Jose State CS is not actually a professionally friendly project.
As mentioned earlier, you can apply for the SE curve to save the country. official requirements actually have no difference in admission standardization of the two majors, but because there are many people applying for CS, the competition is fierce. If you accept it, it is recommended to apply for SE (System Engineering) as well as . According to the admission data, the GPA and language requirements are lower than those of CS. After entering, consider whether you want to choose to transfer to CS, but to be honest, it doesn’t matter if you don’t transfer, ❗️❗️There is no big difference when you come out to find a job❗️❗️Then the “Employment” section will summarize the experience of Silicon Valley coders in finding a job.
