The San José State University Catalog 2010 – 2012

T

HE 2010-2012 SJSU CATALOG CONSTITUTES SAN JOSÉ STATE UNIVERSITY’S DOCUMENT OF RECORD and answers your basic questions about SJSU, its policies and procedures, degree and program requirements, administration, student rights and responsibilities and other pertinent information.

FAQs
Why is the catalog useful?
If you maintain continuous enrollment at SJSU, these requirements, policies and procedures will be your road map to graduation. Of course, should you change your major or minor, you will be held to new requirements. We may also substitute new requirements for discontinued courses.

While every effort is made to ensure the correctness and timeliness of information contained in the SJSU Catalog, the university cannot guarantee its accuracy. Changes may occur, for example, in course descriptions; teaching and administrative staff; curriculum, degree, and graduation requirements; and fee information. The departmental websites referenced in this catalog may be maintained by independent operators and do not necessarily reflect approved curricula and course information. In addition, departmental advising sheets may not be the most current and accurate information. Consult the official online catalog for the most current, officially approved courses and curricula. All information in this catalog was reviewed and approved by the respective College Dean and/or Department Chairperson. Contact the individual college, department, program, or administrative office for further information.

Should I keep this catalog?
Yes, unless you break your attendance, this catalog will be with you until you graduate. Keep the catalog as part of your personal files.

How do I get admitted to SJSU?
In the Policies and Procedures section at the end of this book are sections with detailed requirements for freshman, transfer and graduate admissions. Information about required courses, grade point averages and test scores are included.

What if I am from a country outside of the U.S.?
Special instructions for international students are included in the admission information for undergraduates and graduate students.

What is expected of SJSU students?
See the section titled Student Rights and Responsibilities for an overview of your rights and responsibilities. Your academic requirements are outlined in the Scholastic Requirements section.

Changes in Rules and Policies
Students and others who use this catalog and other university publications should note that laws, rules, and policies change from time to time and that these changes may alter the information contained in this publication. Changes may come in the form of statutes enacted by the Legislature, rules and policies adopted by the Board of Trustees of the California State University, by the Chancellor or designee of the California State University, or by the President or designee of the campus. It is not possible in a publication of this size to include all of the rules, policies and other information that pertain to students, the institution, and the California State University. More current or complete information may be obtained from the appropriate department, school, or administrative office. Nothing in this catalog shall be construed as, operate as, or have the effect of an abridgment or a limitation of any rights, powers, or privileges of the Board of Trustees of the California State University, the Chancellor of the California State University, or the President of the campus. The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the President are authorized by law to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and policies that apply to students. This catalog does not constitute a contract or the terms and conditions of a contract between the student and the institution or the California State University. The relationship of the student to the institution is one governed by statute, rules, and policy adopted by the Legislature, the Trustees, the Chancellor, the President and their duly authorized designees.
S A N J O S E S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y • 2 0 1 0 – 2 0 1 2 C A T A L O G

What are the majors and programs offered by SJSU?
A comprehensive listing of all baccalaureate and graduate degrees, certificates and credentials concludes this section.

Does the catalog explain how SJSU majors rank?
There is no reliable or agreed upon ranking system for determining the quality of undergraduate majors. We suggest you begin your search by looking at the accreditation of the campus and our individual majors. When a major achieves agency accreditation, it generally means that the program’s quality is well above standard.

What is the relationship between SJSU policy and CSU policy?
Requirements for admission, including tests; most fees; rules regarding residency; and most student conduct regulations are set by the Trustees of the CSU. Local SJSU regulations include degree requirements, General Education standards, registration and records policy, among many others.

Who are the leaders of SJSU?
In the Officers and Administrators section of the catalog, you will find a listing of the people who make up the campus administration.

Where do I go to get started?
We suggest that most new visitors to campus stop by the Student Services Center, Ninth and San Fernando Streets. Students who need to have policies, procedures and other regulations interpreted can begin the process here. Most forms, petitions, and advising tools are located here. For a campus tour, see “Tours of SJSU” in the Directory.

Fees are subject to change
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees

How do I find out where and when the course is offered and who will teach the course?
Each semester, you will need to review the SJSU Schedule of Classes which lists all courses offered that term, the location, time schedule and instructor. In addition to the course schedule, important information is included that updates this catalog.

For the most current info
The SJSU Schedule of Classes (http://info.sjsu.edu/home/schedules. html) is recommended as an up-to-date source of information on course offerings, general education, registration procedures, schedule of fees and other pertinent information on policies and procedures.

Year–by-Year
THE BIG TRANSITION
Before you graduate from High School...
Beware of Senioritis! Remember, all admission is provisional. You must remain eligible through the conclusion of your senior year. Take placement exams in English and mathematics. Take them seriously. Review high school algebra, geometry and intermediate algebra, basic grammar and other writing skills. Take any required exams before you graduate.

Frosh

Immerse yourself in the first year experience. Your first semester schedule is customized for you. Enroll in a MUSE course and feel at home in the intellectual and social life of the university. For frosh ready to participate, there is a special two year Humanities Honor’s Program, an integrated survey of Western culture. Live on campus. Studies show that students who live on campus earn higher GPAs, graduate at higher rates, and have a higher level of satisfaction with their overall college experience. You’ve had peer mentors through high school; you’ll need them in college, too. An experienced student can help you navigate the rest of your stay with us.

• Course syllabi (SJSU calls them “green sheets”) • SJSU Schedule of Classes • SJSU Catalog

Transition to college
After you take the necessary placement exams, you will register in the appropriate courses. This process is so critical to your success that we require you to come in person. Orientation is more than just learning your way around: It’s understanding the key services and the people who work on your behalf. It’s understanding the partnership between you and the university. Getting an orientation to campus is for transfers from community college, too. There are differences between the two-year and four-year college experience, especially in the way we organize advising. Seek out advising from your major department. Understand the remaining GE requirements and seek out courses that match your interests.

If you have a major, take advantage of the wisdom and sage advice of your major advisor. If you’re undeclared or unsure, meet with advisors in the Student Services Center. Shop around and explore departments and programs.

year two

You’ve completed skills of general education (writing, math and communication), now you’re getting involved in a four year values-based GE program. Every course has been reviewed to assure that you are engaged in active learning. You’re asked to demonstrate your mastery of certain value standards in the arts, letters, sciences, individual behavior, social issues, history, etc. As sophomores, you will begin to take courses in the major where you first meet key faculty with whom you will be working for the next several years. If you haven’t already done so, start exploring the Career Center. Need a part-time job? Want to see if you will qualify for an internship or co-op? This is the place to start. Start planning if you want to study overseas. SJSU sponsors many opportunities for students to study in another country. What better way to increase your global understanding?

Juniors are involved heavily in upper-division work in the major, establishing working relationships with faculty, sometimes beginning to do work in the department such as assisting in labs, helping faculty do classroom work, and the like. Many students begin to coordinate their work, both on and off campus, with their major. During the junior year, you will demonstrate your baccalaureate level communication skills through a common test and a discipline-based course that “fine tunes” your writing for your future career. Believe it or not, it’s time to apply for graduation. Applying early allows you adequate time to plan your remaining semesters and to make sure there are no surprises. The big chill – at this point, you might feel as if you need a break. You can shake things up and still stay focused on your goals by:

• • • • • • • •

Overseas study Volunteer experience in our community Reorganizing your college year by taking summer classes Joining a campus club Attending at least one campus event during each term Tutoring another student Becoming a campus tour guide Mentoring a middle school student

Association

keeps you in touch with your friends, colleagues, faculty and staff. College will transform your life. By supporting SJSU, you will pay it forward to the next generation of students.

THE SENIOR EXPERIENCE

S A N

Consider Graduate or professional school
Graduate school is for you if:

Seniors

• Your goal is a teaching credential • You are engaged in research that you want to take to another level • You’re on a career path that requires an advanced degree • You love college and want to continue

When you reach senior status, you engage in a variety of “senior” experiences– capstone courses, integrating experiences, design projects, culminating performances or shows, senior theses or projects, internships or co-op placements and the like. These senior experiences are some of the most important SJSU hallmarks, and are a key reason why employers often prefer SJSU graduates to graduates of more visible and more prestigious institutions. SJSU students know how to do things, because they have hands-on experiences. You will complete your SJSU Studies, where you will place the basic information of your lower division GE into integrated contexts. You will engage in issues involving social equality and inequality, in issues of global perspectives in culture and history, and in the integration of your science knowledge to applications to the environment. You may also undertake special Departmental Honor’s courses and projects. By now, the Career Center is crucial to your future. Writing a résumé, interviewing for jobs and meeting with industry representatives are acquired skills. Don’t leave here without them. Go to Commencement, even if you graduate mid-year. Invite your entire family (there’s room!) and celebrate. If you’re the first or the fourth generation to earn a baccalaureate, it’s your achievement.

Lifetime learning
You may return to SJSU to: Enhance your workplace skills Earn a specialized certificate Take a short-term training program Retrain for a new career Take courses for fun or a change of pace

Financial Aid and Scholarships
Financial Aid and Scholarships awards federal, state and local grants, loans and scholarships. Start by filing the federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority deadline is March 2 of every year. You must apply every year to be considered for financial aid for the following academic year. By completing the process, we establish your financial need. Need is the difference between a typical student budget and what you and your family are expected to pay. Aid is awarded via: Grants: Since grants generally do not have to be repaid, grants generally go to undergraduate students with the greatest need. SJSU distributes the Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Grant (SMART); California Grants A, B; the State Graduate Fellowship, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the State University Grants. Loans: Loans can be helpful, but they must be repaid. If you must borrow, limit the amount to what you really need. It may seem nice now, but you will be repaying the funds, with interest, after you leave school. SJSU awards the following loan types: Federal Perkins Loan and the Kuhlman Loan, a loan program funded from the estate of a generous alumna. Also, loans are awarded through banks and other private lenders for the Federal Stafford Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans and Federal Plus Loans (for parents of college students). Scholarships: To qualify for any SJSU scholarship, you must complete at least one semester at SJSU by March 2. Apply online at http://scholarships.sjsu.edu/. The Scholarship Office has information to assist you with your scholarship search. Work Study: Rather than take loans, the Federal Work-Study program allows students to work part-time while learning job skills. There are both on-campus and off-campus job listings for qualified students. Fee Deferrals: Once you have submitted all requested documents, a fee deferral will be assigned to your record to hold your classes and delay the payment of registration fees while your financial aid process is completed. To prevent enrollment cancellation, it is your responsibility to submit all requested documents prior to the scheduled fee payment deadline. Be sure to monitor your account at MySJSU for file status changes and “To Do” items. Financial Aid fee deferrals are temporary and are issued once all requested financial aid documents are submitted.
The financial aid fee deferral does not cover housing charges. FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS

College Vision
To be a learning community that empowers its students to better the world through innovative applications of engineering knowledge and skills. To achieve our vision, we offer programs that provide students with an understanding of the social, economic, and global context in which technology is developed and used. A firm grounding in critical thinking and ethical awareness supports our students’ efforts to design new processes and products for the benefit of society, including applications to energy and environmental sustainability, economic advancement, or security. In particular we provide opportunities for our students to deepen their understanding of the economic forces which shape the role of America’s engineers in today’s competitive global economy.

Engineering Knowledge and Skills
Engineers develop their capabilities based on scientific knowledge and analytical methods. Our students acquire a solid foundation in the knowledge and methods that will prepare them for life-long learning in today’s rapidly advancing world of technology. In order to be competitive, our students must have superior knowledge of engineering theory and honed skills in the application of theory-to-practice. They need to master engineering topics that correspond to industry issues and trends as well as evolving global requirements.

Innovative Applications
In addition to learning engineering theory and skills, our students must have opportunities to learn innovation - a capability highly valued in today’s global economy. Given its close ties to Silicon Valley industry, the College is in a unique position to focus its efforts on developing innovative applications of technologies. Innovation, defined as the development and exercise of creative processes to “see” beyond limits and boundaries, has the entrepreneurial quality of understanding and meeting customers’ needs. It often occurs across disciplinary boundaries with contributing members having various functional expertise. Further, the ability to innovate contributes directly to the success of enterprises. Our vision for the College articulates our aspiration to inspire and educate our students to develop engineering capabilities as well as to understand the context in which such capabilities are used with the end goal of benefiting humanity.

an José State University supports a wing of Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) with cadets from San José State University, Santa Clara University, Stanford University and many local community colleges. The Air Force ROTC program is designed to provide instruction in leadership, management, and national security studies along with military education and training. This prepares the cadet for assignment to positions of responsibility and importance in the modern Air Force. Instruction is conducted on and off campus. This program offers all eligible SJSU students the opportunity to obtain an officer’s commission in the United States Air Force while earning their college degrees. Scholarships based on merit are available to assist students with tuition, books and fees. Four-, three-, and two-year scholarships are available depending on when the student applies. Eligible students also receive a stipend of 200 per month during the school year. Contact the Air Force ROTC Unit Admissions Officer at 408-924-2960 for detailed information. Our faculty brings a wealth of experience and diversity to the program. Instructors are active duty Air Force officers from various career areas and provide students with a first rate academic education and military training experience. Each faculty member also acts as a student advisor to guide students through the program and help them reach the goal of an officer’s commission in the United States Air Force. Air Force ROTC offers several routes to an Air Force commission and is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Among the alternatives available at San José State University are the Four-Year and Two-Year Programs. For the most current information on our program, visit our web site.

Leadership Laboratory (LLAB)
LLAB represents the hands-on portion of the aerospace studies course. Cadets learn drill and ceremony as well as Air Force customs and courtesies. Occasionally, guest speakers present topics relating to the cadet and the Air Force. LLAB is the portion of ROTC that focuses on developing your leadership and followership skills. As an Air Force ROTC cadet you will spend one LLAB period each week putting into practice the leadership skills and management theories acquired in class. As you progress through the program, you will receive more responsibility. Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) is cadet-centered to improve your ability to perform as an Air Force officer. This is a mandatory requirement and must fit into your academic plans.

he BA in Anthropology prepares students for living and working in today’s complex, culturally diverse world. Students majoring in anthropology gain knowledge about the different ways that humans have lived, both past and present, and they develop their abilities in applying this knowledge to contemporary issues. The anthropology major helps students develop skills in conducting research, analyzing data in a logical and consistent way, and communicating clearly and effectively. The skills and knowledge gained by students provide a solid foundation for many careers. Students majoring in anthropology complete a core curriculum that provides an overview to the discipline, as well as courses in cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology. Departmental resources include archaeology, physical anthropology, and ethnographic laboratories. Anthropologists are employed in a great variety of public and private sector jobs. The Anthropology program provides appropriate preparation for professions such as law, medicine, business, social work, and health care, as well as the increasing number of jobs that require working in a culturally diverse environment. Anthropology is also an important component in a liberal arts education since it broadens our view of what it means to be human. The anthropology minor is flexible and it complements almost any major. Interested students are encouraged to pursue their minor in Native American studies.

MA – Applied Anthropology
The program will produce skilled practitioners at the MA level who can move into positions in the public and private sectors as researchers, administrators and program developers. They will do so by applying anthropological knowledge and skills to regional problems and issues. The core of the program is built around skill “clusters” and content “tracks”. The program is built around three broad clusters of research skills that can be used within the different content tracks. The first cluster consists of basic and advanced ethnographic methods for understanding how social systems, including organizations and communities, function in the regional environment. The second consists of skills in applying anthropology to the planning and design of programs and organizations, services and artifacts. The third skill cluster concerns assessment and evaluation skills, especially those based on qualitative methods that complement the familiar quantitative methods. Content tracks are the substantive areas in which students will apply the skills they are learning. Tracks will be adjusted based on student demand, community needs, faculty expertise, and job opportunities. They are linked to partners in the university and the region whose interests, expertise and resources are complementary. The content tracks are (1) health care, (2) business and industry, (3) immigration and immigrant services, and (4) regional sustainability. Students will work in a variety of relationships with the people they serve, including advocacy, public anthropology, consultation, and employment. Students will be conversant with the ethical and political implications of each relationship, and the personal and professional skills needed to be effective. They will master a variety of models of application, such as needs assessment, program evaluation, social impact assessment, and risk assessment. While much of applied anthropology emerges from the subfield of cultural anthropology there are applied aspects to physical anthropology, especially in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology. Archaeology too has applied facets in cultural resource management and museum studies. This proposal includes facets of all subfields although it is predominantly based in cultural anthropology.

The anthropology faculty are scholars who bring their research into the classroom in ways that engage students and enhance learning. There are many opportunities for students to become involved in research and service projects that further develop skills and the ability to apply anthropological knowledge. The department is committed to providing timely and helpful academic advising, as well as an intellectual environment that supports learning. Interested students are encouraged to call the department for additional information, including the availability of advisors who can answer your questions.

Behavioral Science Program
The Behavioral Science Program is designed for students who wish to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on human behavior. The program is offered cooperatively by the Departments of Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology, although all academic advising is performed by the Department of Anthropology. Students majoring in behavioral science may also fulfill the requirements of the behavioral science/anthropology double major. This option is recommended for students who anticipate continuing their education beyond the BA degree. The requirements for the BA – Behavioral Science are located under the Behavioral Science Program listing in this catalog. The requirements for the behavioral science/anthropology double major are listed under the behavioral science section. Students interested in further information about the double major should contact the Department of Anthropology, 408-924-5710.

BS – Industrial Design
Prepares students for a career in industrial design through a curriculum in design studio, theory and skill classes supported by courses in technology, business, science, art and humanities. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, creative process management, aesthetic theory, communication skills, awareness of technological business as well as humanistic dimensions of product development. The program draws upon extensive resources of local, internationally prominent design firms and alumni. It emphasizes extensive exposure to professional practices. Studio projects provide experience with a diverse spectrum of products, user scenarios and industries, leading to a comprehensive professional portfolio. The Industrial Design Program is on the list of schools approved by the Industrial Designer’s Society of America. Students declare an Industrial Design major without submitting a portfolio. However, the BSID program is highly structured and requires passing of four annual portfolio courses (DSID 32A, DSID 123A, DSID 125A, DSID 128A) as a prerequisite for the next level of studio courses. Students are advised to closely follow the recommended scheduling of the curriculum in order to complete the requirements in a timely manner. (Detailed instructions are available in the Design Program Office).

he curricula for the BS – Aviation have been designed to prepare graduates for a wide range of positions in the aviation industry. Students receive instruction in the fundamentals of aviation along with mathematics, science and general courses especially chosen for their applicability to the aviation field.

Curriculum Requirements
Major forms must be submitted and approved three semesters prior to graduation. Students may challenge aviation courses based on prior experience via the credit-by-examination procedure. All prerequisite requirements must be completed prior to enrolling in courses under the credit-by-examination procedure. Units required for the aviation degree are 132. Students who are not adequately prepared in high school or who take non-approved elective courses may require additional units. To qualify for graduation, students must achieve a minimum 2.0 average in aviation course work taken at San José State University and a 2.0 average in all course work taken at San José State University and elsewhere that is being counted toward the major. A grade of “C-” or better is required for all courses being used to satisfy any major or minor offered by the Department of Aviation, including preparation courses.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Aviation graduates are employed in such positions as flight, airport management, purchasing, marketing, quality control, aviation management, technical management and military aviation. The curriculum provides an excellent background for the professional pilot. There are four options under the BS in Aviation: Operations, Aviation Management, Avionics, and Maintenance Management. The Maintenance Management option is designed to complement an AS-level Federal Aviation Administration FAA part 147 program from a local community college. The Aviation program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in basic and advanced aviation principles and procedures. Students in the BS in Aviation will: 1. Understand the attributes and behavior of an aviation professional. 2. Learn about aircraft design, performance, operating characteristics, and maintenance. 3. Understand the importance of aviation safety and human factors. 4. Demonstrate familiarity with legal and labor issues in national and international aviation. 5. Learn about the roles and functions of airports, airspace, and air traffic control. 6. Apply meteorology and environmental issues to aviation. 7. Demonstrate ethical behavior and concern for colleagues, society, and the environment.

Note to Veterans
Those students who have successfully completed armed forces instructional programs in aviation and who have been awarded units by the Admissions Office for this service training may apply such credit as appropriate toward any of the major or minor programs offered by the department.

Honors Program
Students who have maintained a 3.5 grade point average in all aviation courses are eligible for the departmental honors program. Qualified candidates may apply or be nominated by the faculty, during their junior year. To meet the honors course requirements, candidates must enroll for a one unit course, Aviation 180H Individual Studies, for two semesters. This individual studies course is specifically structured for honors students. Students who successfully complete the two, one-unit honors courses, and who maintain the required 3.5 grade point average, will qualify for the award of departmental honors at graduation.

Advisement
Due to the intricacy of the curricula and the critical nature of prerequisites and related course sequencing, each aviation major is assigned to a faculty advisor. For those students who undertake a portion of their program elsewhere, the proper articulation with San José State University may be assured by continued communication with department advisors. Students in the Maintenance Management option should consult with their department advisor for the complete list of articulated community college FAA Part 147 Programs. All College of Engineering undergraduate majors are required to maintain a Major GPA of 2.0 or above. Major GPA includes all courses required for the major, including math, science and engineering.

he Behavioral Science Program is designed for students who wish to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on human behavior. This perspective allows them to understand the psychological, social and cultural dimensions to being human in a complex society. Students develop broad skills in collecting data, logically and consistently analyzing data, communicating clearly, and problem solving. The program is offered cooperatively by the Departments of Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology, although the Department of Anthropology performs all academic advising. The knowledge and skills Behavioral Science students learn help prepare them for a variety of jobs that require using social science data and working with other people. Many students use a Behavioral Science major as preparation for graduate work in health care, social work, human resources, and other professions. Students majoring in Behavioral Science may also fulfill the requirements of the Behavioral Science/Anthropology, Behavioral Science/ Psychology and Behavioral Science/Sociology double majors. This option is recommended for students who anticipate continuing their education beyond the undergraduate degree. The Department of Anthropology provides all academic advising for the Behavioral Science Program, including advising for the three double majors.

Bachelors Degrees
The Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) can be tailored through electives to meet virtually any career goal. It is a broad introduction to all of the life sciences. There is a special emphasis within the BA for students who want to become high school science teachers (BA-Biological Science-Preparation for Teaching). Two degrees are offered under the title of BA-Life Science. One, the BA-Life Science, Preparation for Teaching is designed for students interested in teaching in elementary and middle school. The second, BA-Life Science, Concentration in Biodiversity Stewardship is designed for those students seeking a broad-based curriculum in conservation. The Bachelor of Science (BS) concentrations are technically more demanding, with more courses required in the lab or in the field. The BS is recommended for students who are sure of their career goals. New students are encouraged to begin in the BA and to discuss career plans with faculty advisors. There are no restrictions on changing degrees within those offered by the department (nor are any restrictions expected). The marine biology concentration requires at least one semester in residence at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, usually in the junior or senior year. Many students seek careers in health care. This traditionally includes medicine, veterinary medicine or dentistry. In recent years, however, job opportunities have increased with more graduates entering osteopathy, optometry, physical therapy, podiatry, pharmacy and physician’s assistant programs. Other popular career choices for undergraduates are entry-level technical and research jobs in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. Students with an interest in environmental issues, including marine biology, botany, entomology, zoology and conservation biology often seek careers in state and federal wildlife agencies and in environmental consulting. Those students interested in health care issues and research, may specialize in microbiology, molecular biology and systems physiology. The department’s upper division lab experiences are rigorous. Faculty have found that a strong performance in these course is a good predictor for acceptance into professional health schools, PhD and graduate programs, teaching, industry and government research.

n undergraduate degree in biology prepares students for graduate work, for laboratory and field research and technical work, for health professions, and for K-12 teaching. Graduate students prepare for careers in specialized scientific areas and community college teaching. Biology faculty pay special attention to students’ ability to write and speak effectively, and to cooperate with the linguistically, culturally and ethnically diverse populations in the San José region. In addition, the department offers an unusually strong program in basic computer skills and statistics. All programs require strong support in chemistry, physics, mathematics and communication courses. These skills combined with a working knowledge of the biological sciences also make this degree attractive to those students who seek a strong college education but do not plan on a career as a biologist. In particular, familiarity with health and environmental issues are an asset to those seeking employment in many Bay Area companies and governmental agencies. The department offers a wide range of concentrations, with strengths in molecular biology, microbiology, physiology, conservation biology and ecology. These concentrations prepare students for careers ranging from biotechnology to health care to field biology. In recent years the department has enhanced its faculty, infrastructure and instrumentation to expand its laboratory

Masters Degrees
The department offers the Master of Arts (MA) and the Master of Science (MS) degrees, with emphases in the specialty areas of the department. The MA culminates in written and oral examinations based upon 30 units of course work. At the graduate level, the MA – Natural Science offers science teachers an opportunity to study a subject in depth; and to enhance their teaching skills. The MS requires both course work and an intensive research project directed by three scientists, at least two of whom are SJSU faculty. In addition, the department has a program for those students interested in Clinical Laboratory Science. These students enter the MA program and are prepared for the state examinations to confer licensure as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (Medical Technology). Acceptance to department graduate programs is by contact with individual faculty, who agree to serve as academic advisors. Contact the department graduate coordinator for additional information and the names and research interests of faculty.

BS – Business Administration, Concentration in Accounting
Accounting is a recognized profession concerned with the measurement, analysis, interpretation and communication of economic data. Students are prepared for careers as certified public accountants and managerial accountants for both the private and public sectors of the economy. The curriculum is designed to develop a basic understanding of the conceptual framework underlying the measurement and communication of economic data; a technical competence for effectively measuring, assimilating and communicating economic data; an awareness of the moral and ethical considerations involved; and incentives to grow and keep pace with ever-changing issues, conditions, forces and ideas.
Semester Units

BS – Business Administration, Concentration in Accounting Information Systems
This unique program prepares students to bridge the gap between two disciplines that are critical to business operations: Accounting and Management Information Systems. The program is taught exclusively within the Department of Accounting and Finance which strengthens the curriculum structure of the program focusing on important, relevant accounting, internal controls, and information technology issues. AIS students take courses in database design, networking and data communications, systems analysis and design, and IT audit, all with an accounting emphasis. Students who complete this concentration will be entering into one of the fastest growing, most dynamic areas in accounting. Graduates are attractive to public accounting firms and corporations with jobs such as liaisons between the accounting/financial systems users and the information systems technical staff or to design and deploy information technology to improve the accounting systems of an organization. Careers might take paths in areas such as IT or internal audit, forensic accounting, risk management, or litigation services. This qualifies students to sit for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and CISA (Computer Information Systems Auditor) examinations.
Semester Units

BS – Business Administration, Concentration in Corporate Financial Management
This unique concentration is designed for students who are attracted to career opportunities in corporate financial management. The concentration integrates two highly valued disciplines, Accounting and Finance. The curriculum design develops a basic understanding of the conceptual framework underlying the measurement and communication of accounting data; a technical competence for effectively measuring, and assimilating and communicating economic data, ultimately to make sound financial decisions. Awareness of moral and ethical considerations in business is emphasized along with identifying incentives to grow and keep paced with ever-changing issues, conditions, forces, and ideas. The curriculum significantly enhances the attractiveness of its graduates to corporate finance groups as entry-level hires, and for the long-term, positions them to compete for roles in management. Students will take five accounting and five finance courses. An additional few accounting courses enable a student to sit for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) exam. CFM graduates are able to move seamlessly between accounting and finance careers increasing their marketability in a field that has limitless opportunities.

The objective is to prepare students for careers such as financial officer of a corporation or a financial institution responsible for investment and financing decisions.

BS – Business Administration, Concentration in Human Resource Management
The program provides the academic foundation for careers concerned with activities related to creating and sustaining the competitive advantage of organizations through the effective management of human capital. This area of study is concerned with both the strategic and current day-to-day activities in areas such as performance management, human resource planning and information systems, recruitment and staffing, training and employee development, compensation and benefits and union-management relations in an environment that changes rapidly due to competition, globalization, diversity, technology and laws.

Semester Units

BS – Business Administration, Concentration in International Business
The concentration in International Business (IB) is designed to prepare students for today’s global business world. IB is an interdisciplinary program covering the various business disciplines as well as course work in a minor, either area studies or foreign language, or a functional track within the College of Business. The tracks include combinations of IB and Entrepreneurship, IB and Finance, IB and Management Information Systems, or IB and Marketing. Foreign language proficiency is required. In addition, one of the study abroad options is also required: 1) a short-term facultyled CSU course; 2) a semester in a foreign university approved by CSU; or 3) a semester internship with AIESEC or other internship program. The Chair of the Department of Organization and Management can waive this requirement (e.g., international students need not study abroad). Study abroad courses can be regarded as equivalent courses in substitution of the IB program requirements depending on the type of study abroad courses taken on an individual basis. This interdisciplinary approach is designed as a foundation for starting international careers. Graduates work in varied international areas such as export/import operations, sales/ marketing, project management, accounting/ finance, consulting, travel, governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Our Programs
The programs are innovative in design and delivery and offer a range of academically challenging and multi-disciplinary opportunities that enable students to improve and keep pace continuously within the dynamic Silicon Valley environment. The Master of Business Administration provides advanced management education with the opportunity for a generalist degree. Frequently, students are working full-time, are in transition refocusing their careers, are from foreign countries, or are full-time students. 1. The Conventional MBA program is a full-time traditionally paced program with semester length courses offered on the San José State University campus. A portion of the MBA curriculum is offered in a cohort lock-step sequence; students select the remaining courses to complete the fourteen courses required for the MBA program, and may also opt for a study-abroad option during the second summer of study. The Conventional MBA program design enables students to complete the degree within an eighteen to twenty-four month time frame. 2. The MBA-One is a full-time, accelerated daytime program that is completed in twelve-months of intensive study. Offered at the Lucas School’s Silicon Valley site, the MBA-One is structured for non-working individuals who prefer a rigorous cohort style of learning. Students move through the curriculum as an assigned group in six eight-week sessions. The MBA-One program’s twelve month design allows students to enter or re-enter the workforce in less time than the other Lucas MBA programs take to complete.

3. The Executive-Style MBA program is a part-time evening program tailored for the working professional. Offered at the Lucas School’s Silicon Valley site, the ExecutiveStyle MBA is the most flexible Lucas MBA program. Accelerated courses are delivered year round on-site, online, and in blended (online and in-class) formats. Admission is offered in both fall and spring, enabling students to complete the MBA on a parttime basis in two and a half years. 4. The MS – Accountancy (MSA) program is a full-time, daytime, 12-month program that admits a limited number of only non-accounting undergraduate majors on the basis of a competitive process that includes assessments by practitioners as well as faculty. Course work is structured around the accounting cycle to strongly encourage students to combine academic learning with accounting work experience (or internships) as well-rounded preparation for careers in professional accounting. 5. The MS – Taxation (MST) program offers students technical knowledge, an understanding of tax policies and research and analytical skills development. Study of the tax law is enhanced through discussion of related accounting, legal and financial concepts and issues. The academic calendar is designed around the scheduling needs of working tax professionals. The extensive range of courses allows students flexibility in career specialization. The MST is offered at the Lucas School’s Silicon Valley site. 6. The MS – Transportation Management (MSTM) provides opportunities for individuals from both technical and nontechnical disciplines to obtain advanced specialization in surface transportation management. The program draws on the latest in transportation policy, administration and management concepts from several disciplines, and enables students to develop a fuller understanding of the diverse and sometimes conflicting needs of modern transportation management for better serving their employers, community and society. The degree is available through distance-learning facilities and electronic technologies, providing an opportunity for students to obtain the degree at remote locations. 7. The MBA/MSE – Off-Campus accelerated evening sequential degree program is a combined program for engineering professionals who wish to pursue technical and executive management positions.

Educational Objectives
The educational objectives of the Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business MBA are threefold: to provide a solid base of interdisciplinary business theories and techniques; to apply theory and analytic tools to the practical improvement of organizational performance; and to explore personal beliefs and values as they affect ethical and economic organizational practices. Key processes involve: investigating opportunities and problems; defining causes or contributing factors to problems, including those that cut across organizational units; generating alternatives from which feasible programs of action are selected and implemented; and monitoring and changing where necessary, the progress of enacted decisions. These skills are developed using a combination of approaches including: the case method, experiential exercises, computer simulations, team projects and problem sets. Students are expected to develop competencies both as action-oriented leaders and as logical decision makers.

Admission to the Lucas MBA Programs
The Lucas School does not follow a set formula for determining admission to the MBA programs. Our goal is to admit academically qualified candidates who show potential for completing the program and advancing into a successful business career. We seek to admit students whose backgrounds will enable them to contribute to the academic excellence and the demographic, educational and experiential diversity of each class. An applicant’s academic profile – undergraduate major and institution, any graduate level work, GPA, and GMAT scores – is a major factor in the admission decision. Other important areas of evaluation include essay responses, work experience, letters of recommendation, writing skills, and extracurricular, community and professional activities. From this overall review, we assess an applicant’s potential for success and compatibility with our MBA program. A competitive GMAT score is 550. An applicant’s score must rank in at least the 50th percentile in both the verbal and quantitative components of the exam. We realize that the GMAT has certain limitations, as does any standardized test; however, the GMAT does allow comparison among applicants from different schools, different countries and different majors. We encourage all applicants to prepare for the exam, take it as early as possible, and retake it if their score is not competitive. The average GPA of admitted candidates is 3.3. Ideally a candidate’s GPA will be at 3.0 or above. Many circumstances may exist which offer explanation for a GPA below 3.0; candidates are encouraged to submit a statement of explanation if this is the case. However, please note that an absolute minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for graduate admission at San José State University.

Benefits of the MBA
The program is geared to the professionally oriented person who aspires to move into middle management or to undertake greater managerial responsibility. It is designed to aid those who have the capabilities or potential to be action initiators rather than those who prefer to develop reports and recommendations for decision makers. The MBA program accommodates students with a variety of educational and work backgrounds. Entering students who have an extensive and recent business education move quickly into the required advanced management courses. Those who are educated in fields other than business (such as engineering, science, arts or humanities) or whose undergraduate business education is more than seven years old, must first complete the three prerequisite courses to develop basic business competencies. Business development projects are available to MBA students. The Lucas School has alliances with business incubator partners in Silicon Valley. Students have an opportunity to work with international businesses and Silicon Valley entrepreneurial start ups.

Prerequisite Courses
Three undergraduate courses, Introduction to Microeconomics; Introduction to Macroeconomics; and Business Statistics are courses that must be completed as prerequisites for the MBA program and do not count as part of the program of study. An applicant may be admitted to the MBA program prior to completion of these three classes but will need to provide proof of completion of all three prerequisites before the first day of instruction.

he Chemistry Department provides a strong educational background in chemistry and strives to show all students how chemistry is involved in solving everyday problems such as energy production, pollution control and disease prevention. Programs of study can be designed to give broad scientific experience to those interested in a general, liberal education; more specialized training is available to those wishing to pursue any of the health-related disciplines, science teaching, dietetics, engineering or other related sciences. A comprehensive course of study is suggested for career-oriented chemists. Except for those who will enroll in introductory chemistry courses, high school preparation should include chemistry, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. At the baccalaureate level, students may specialize in biochemistry or materials science. At the graduate level, course work and research experience lead to either the MS or the MA degree in Chemistry. These degrees permit some specialization in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, radiochemistry, physical or polymer chemistry. The MS degree is recommended to those who wish to conduct or direct chemical research, or for those who want an introduction to graduate work before starting a PhD program. The MA is recommended for persons who are not directly involved in chemical research; it may be sufficient for those individuals teaching at the high school or community college level. Graduate courses also support the MA – Natural Science.

120S) is a prerequisite for all research course work (i.e., CHEM 180, 297, 298, 299, etc.), for all BS, BA, MS, and MA Chemistry majors and minors. BS majors with a concentration in biochemistry may substitute BIOL 6 for CHEM 120S. Contact lenses in the chemical laboratory present a severe eye hazard. It is Chemistry Department policy that contact lenses are prohibited in all chemistry laboratories; prescription glasses should be worn instead. In addition, safety goggles are required in all laboratories.

Non-Compliance with Safety Rules
Failure to comply with proper procedures and prescribed safety cautions shall subject the student to removal from the laboratory and/or disciplinary action. 1. Any student who engages in unauthorized experimentation or who seriously disregards safety, thereby endangering self or others shall be withdrawn immediately from the class with a grade of “F”. 2. Any student who shows persistent disregard for safety may have his or her grade lowered, and may risk being withdrawn with a final grade of “F”.

Prerequisites
Courses prerequisite to all chemistry courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better (“C-” not accepted). Exceptions may be made only with instructor consent or if not explicitly stated in the course description.

Undergraduate Advisement
Students wishing to major in chemistry should confer with one of the department advisors when entering the university. Students’ goals will determine whether they opt for the BS or BA degree, with possible specialization in biochemistry, materials or preparation for teaching. Students who transfer into these programs should be aware that general chemistry and a number of supporting courses, especially the mathematics and physics requirements, should be started during their first two years. If students transfer at the junior level without most of these courses completed, more than four semesters at SJSU may be required to complete the degree. All chemistry majors must meet with their advisors every semester. This mandatory advising session is necessary to remove the advising hold preventing registration for the following semester. At least one year prior to graduation, an approved major form must be signed by the advisor and submitted to the Chemistry Department Office.

he Child and Adolescent Development (CHAD) Department’s interdisciplinary major provides students with a broad, liberal education with an emphasis on human development in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Students interested in teaching and human services, generally, may choose this program. Graduates may pursue careers in teaching at any level from infant programs through post-secondary schools. Other careers available to graduates are in health, welfare, child care, and social service agencies. The Department operates a campus laboratory preschool which enrolls children from ages 2 through 5 in two programs: toddlers (age 2) and a multi-age group (ages 3-5). The MA – Child and Adolescent Development is designed for students who wish to pursue advanced study in child and adolescent development for the following professional and/ or academic purposes: 1. To obtain a graduate-level degree in child development; 2. To prepare for community college teaching in a child and adolescent development or early childhood education program; 3. To prepare for further study leading to a doctorate degree in child development; and 4. To acquire academic background in child and adolescent development to be applied in occupational positions that deal with youth and children’s issues. The degree is particularly appropriate for individuals who already possess entry-level credentials or licensing and wish to develop greater expertise and deeper knowledge about children and youth in order to advance in their careers or to prepare for new occupational options. This includes individuals such as professionals in human service agencies, Head Start and day care administrators, parent educators, child/youth advocates in social and legal arenas, child and family counselors, teachers in elementary, middle level and secondary schools, pediatric nurses, and professionals in public health and health care agencies.

BA – Child and Adolescent Development
This program provides a strong foundation in child development and could be the basis for graduate study in child development and related fields. Students who have declared Child and Adolescent Development as their major should meet with the Department advisor for consultation and approval of the program. Assigned advisor information is posted inside and outside of SH 201 and is listed on the department website www.sjsu.edu/chad/ advising/.

he Communication Studies Department focuses on four curricular themes: democracy, diversity, technology, and globalization. Course offerings center on the nature of human communication; the role it plays in the creation, maintenance and advancement of a culturally diverse democratic society; and the ways in which technology facilitates or hinders communication among diverse populations in a democratic society and in a globalizing world. Faculty and students study and learn about communication as experienced in face-to-face spoken interactions, mediated messages, public rhetoric, the written word, signs and symbols, dialogues and relationships, and embodied speech. The department offers the BA – Communication Studies. In fulfilling this major, our studentscholars come to understand the nature and use of language, symbolic processes, meaning and communication. They learn about these topics in interpersonal, group, public, organizational, multicultural, national, international and mediated contexts. Internships and service learning provide opportunities to apply both theoretical and practical knowledge. The undergraduate major or minor integrates a broad cultural education in the liberal arts with communication skills and knowledge essential for any career. Students completing the BA – Communication Studies continue on to graduate study. Our majors and minors commonly enter career paths in education, sales, marketing and public relations, human resource development, law, politics, or community service agencies. Communication Studies course work contributes to effective personal growth, citizenship and social relationships in multicultural organizations and communities, both locally and globally. Our courses are among those that satisfy the General Education requirements in oral communication; critical thinking; human behavior; self, society and equality in the U.S.; and written communications; as well as SJSU Studies Areas R, S, V and Z through COMM 168 – Global Climate Change. Our graduate program (MA – Speech Communication) provides advanced study of communication theories, principles, and practices. Advanced study in speech communication is useful and recognized for both personal and professional development. For some, the MA enhances successful matriculation into doctoral programs in Speech, Communication, or related fields. The MA also prepares professionals to teach in community colleges. Our MA curriculum includes course work with career value for managers and administrators in communication-related professions, especially for professional contexts in a globalizing, intercultural world.

Undergraduate Advisement
All speech and communication majors must meet with an advisor prior to the end of their second semester and before registration for their third semester. Faculty advisors for all students, major and minor, can be located by contacting the Communication Studies office. Although major and minor programs are subject to the approval of both the advisor and chair of the department, the basic responsibility for developing a coherent program rests with the student.

BA – Communication Studies
The department provides suggested programs and advice for students interested in emphasizing special areas of speech and communication, and for those wishing to combine courses in the major with relevant electives in other departments. Interdisciplinary interests are encouraged.

an José State University’s location in the heart of Silicon Valley enhances greatly the opportunities for both the graduates and the students of the Department of Computer Science. Our graduates form a significant portion of the local technical workforce and our students often find work in local high tech companies. The bachelor’s degree in computer science (BS-CS) is designed to give our graduates a solid foundation in the basic theories which underpin much of computer software technology as well as to prepare them to become productive software system designers. The program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, 410.347.7700. The computer science faculty includes authors of standard texts in such areas as Java, C++, programming languages, compiler design, parallel processing, and web programming. Many of the faculty are also active in research, in a variety of areas such as computer architecture, network protocols, multimedia systems, and scientific computing. There is a CS club which is usually very active. Just how active it is depends on the studentsit’s their club. The department offers a BS degree in Software Engineering in conjunction with the Computer Engineering Department. There is a master’s degree program in computer science (MS-CS) as well; this program is for those students who wish to pursue their studies at a more advanced level. As many of the MS-CS students work in local industry, most courses are offered in the late afternoon or in the evening to accommodate their work schedules.

running both Windows XP Professional and Linux (Fedora Core 5), and six Sun workstations running the Solaris (Version 9) operating system. These machines provide internet access and all of the applications, compilers, and tools (such as Eclipse and BlueJ) used in computer science classes taught by the department. The Sun machines are accessible via a secure shell client. Printing capability is provided by an HP LaserJet, with a per page charge payable to Spartan Shops. There are two closed labs used for classes. A fourth laboratory is an open lab for use, free of charge, by CS majors and is managed by the student CS club. This open lab contains several Pentium 3 and 4 PCs running Linux (Ubuntu version 6.0). Although no email service is provided in this lab, the Internet is accessible. The same software which is available on the Linux machines in the drop-in lab is available in this free open lab. This free open lab also provides workspace for students to study and/or use their laptops. All computers in the department are networked. Students may obtain an account for use in both the drop-in lab and one of the closed labs by registering in CS 46A, CS 46B, or CS 110L, or by paying a semester fee. These student accounts include email, a home directory, shell/ ssh access, and Internet access. Email is also used to augment office hours for students who find it inconvenient to go to a faculty member’s office. Faculty often post homework assignments and announcements on their web pages and, in some instances, students can email homework to faculty. Separate accounts for the second closed lab are automatically provided to students registering in any course which is taught in this lab and can only be used for those courses. Wireless web access is accessible throughout the campus. Students are expected to have a laptop with wireless capability, or similar device. Financial aid for this purpose is available from the university; check the department office for details.

Entry Advisement
New students should check the Department web site at www.cs.sjsu.edu for information on first semester advising. Transfer and second baccalaureate students need to complete course equivalency forms with an advisor during the first semester in order to match prior college course work with stated major requirements. Students are also invited to visit the Department in MacQuarrie Hall 208. MacQuarrie Hall is adjacent to the Seventh Street parking garage. Computer science at SJSU is a high unit major that does not allow room for many electives. Students planning to enter or transfer into this major should be aware that unless all of their courses count either toward the major or toward general education, they will require units in excess of the 121 officially needed to graduate.

Minimum Grade Requirement
A grade of “C-” or better is required for courses being used to meet any requirement in any minor or major offered by the Department of Computer Science, including support courses.

Prerequisites for Computer Science Courses
Students enrolling in Computer Science courses who do not have the appropriate prerequisites may be dropped by the instructor. Students are advised to complete MATH 30, MATH 31, MATH 42, CS 46A, CS 46B and CS 47 before enrolling in upper division computer science courses. Knowledge of Java is needed for students to succeed in upper-division Computer Science course work. Transfer students who arrive without knowing Java should take CS 49J. Students who receive grades of “C-” or better in CS 46A and CS 46B at SJSU should have sufficient Java for their upper-division courses. In particular, these courses give knowledge of Java equivalent to that of CS 49J for the purposes of satisfying the prerequisites for CS 146 and CS 151.

Honors Program in Computer Science
The requirements for computer science majors to graduate with departmental honors are: (1) at least a 3.0 G.P.A. overall, (2) at least a 3.5 G.P.A. in the major, (3) Completion of CS 180H (Individual Studies for Honors).

Computing Facilities
The department operates four computing laboratories. There is a drop-in lab designed to support course work in the department. This drop-in lab contains 17 Pentium 4 PCs

BS – Computer Science
This degree provides a solid background for a variety of careers in the computing profession. Entry level positions include jobs in programming, systems analysis, software engineering and customer support. Such positions are required by nearly every institution whether it is public or private. The Computer Science Program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD, 21202-4012, 410.347.7700. The program not only prepares students for graduate work in computer science, but also for advanced work in the related fields of management science and operations research.

BS Software Engineering
The goal of the BS in Software Engineering is the preparation of software engineers: professionals who develop software products that are on time, within budget and that meet customer requirements. The course work builds on computer science fundamentals and mathematical principles to cover the design, analysis, verification, validation, implementation, deployment, and maintenance of software systems. The program focuses on practical aspects of building and deploying real software systems in a socially responsible way. The hallmark of the program provides the students with an educational experience that builds on traditional computer science and engineering, but distinguishing itself in the following ways: • Key courses in the Software Engineering program emphasize the team approach to building software and provide leadership opportunities for every student. • These courses place an emphasis on software processes and lifecycles and include significant learning in management areas such as project planning, resource allocation, quality assurance, testing, metrics, maintenance, configuration management and personnel management. • The degree has a stronger emphasis on mathematics and use of engineering methods in software design The software engineering curriculum culminates in a year-long capstone sequence where the students work in teams to build a large software system. Students are encouraged to complete a co-operative education experience prior to enrollment in these courses, in order to gain some direct, industrial experience before embarking upon their own project. A few years after graduation, we expect the students of this program to: 1. Be engaged in successful professional practice in their chosen discipline. 2. Demonstrate personal and professional leadership in their workplace and their community. 3. Demonstrate effective communication in an engineering environment. 4. Utilize formal and informal learning opportunities to maintain and enhance technical and professional growth. The program is offered jointly by the Computer Science and the Computer Engineering departments. See the curriculum and other details in the Software Engineering Program section of the SJSU Catalog.

he Creative Arts degree is a flexible and individualized program of study which helps students meet their own learning objectives and graduate on time. Students select Creative Arts core courses in combination with supporting courses in Art, English and Comparative Literature, Music and Dance, and TV, Radio, Film and Theatre. Courses are organized by category rather than by title or number. For example, majors may choose 6 units in studio/ performing arts courses; 9 units in lower division history/theory courses; 12 units related upper division units from two departments; and 18 units of Creative Arts core courses. No two students take exactly the same program of study. Most of our students also complete special senior projects or internships. Recent interns have been placed at Opera San José, the Children’s Discovery Museum, San José Repertory Theatre, Camera Three, American Musical Theatre, the Institute for Contemporary Art, San José Museum of Art and in a variety of school and business settings. Key to the CA Program is our emphasis on creative thinking and the creative process. While our students’ ability to complete projects and products is expected, we are more concerned that students become critical, conscious and effective thinkers. Our recent graduates have become successful visual and performing artists, teachers, art administrators, software developers, software engineers, physicians, writers, sound recording engineers, costume designers, arts therapists, multimedia designers, librarians and entrepreneurs. The Creative Arts Program at SJSU is the only one of its kind in the CSU system. Founded in 1956, this is a unique and well-established program.

conomics studies the choices people make about production, exchange and consumption. Choices are necessary because resources are limited. The tools economists use to understand choices are highly versatile and can be used to explain business or market choices, as well as, examine choices made in family, political, historical, criminal, and educational situations. Using these economic tools, students learn to solve complex social, political, or business problems, to think strategically about the unintended consequences of actions, and to do scenario planning. Economics majors are noted for their problem solving ability for their ability to reach “reasoned” solutions to multi-faceted, complex problems. As a result, economics graduates are widely employed in public administration, in community, state and regional planning and other fields where sound decision making is required. Business firms, banks and other financial institutions also value the ability to evaluate market strategies and profit possibilities in economic planning and forecasting. The BA – Economics is a general program, flexible enough to allow for a variety of student objectives. The BS is designed for those who plan to study economics at the graduate level, or to find jobs working as an economist or in closely related fields. Both programs have over 21 units of open electives. These elective units give students the flexibility to supplement the thinking skills developed in economics with technical skills developed in such fields as finance, marketing, and public relations. A bachelor degree in economics serves as an excellent springboard to an MBA or law degree. The MA – The masters program prepares graduates for research and policy positions in government and business. Our teaching and research stress the importance of markets and institutions on political and socioeconomic outcomes. The emphasis on applied economics provides training in practical, problem-solving techniques appropriate for careers in teaching, private business, the public sector, banking, and consulting. Although we emphasize applied economics, we also guide students in the rigorous preparation necessary for doctoral programs at such universities as George Mason University, Washington University, Carlton University, Northwestern University, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine and Stanford University.

PROFESSORS

chool leadership is very important work. If schools are to meet the needs of the increasingly diverse student population, leaders with passion for the importance of schooling and with the skills, attitudes and behaviors required to facilitate and manage school change will be in great demand. We know that approximately 50% of the school administrators in this region are expected to retire within the next five years. It is imperative that we work in collaboration to prepare teacher leaders to be successful school leaders in administrative positions. Faculty in the Educational Leadership Program at SJSU value the opportunity to support you and our schools in this effort. Our MA – Education with an Emphasis in Administration and Supervision and the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program prepare teacher leaders to assume important leadership roles within our schools and districts. Many of our graduates are the principals, assistant principals, coordinators, directors, superintendents and assistant superintendents in our schools. The program is a credential program with an additional course and thesis for the MA. We do offer a Preliminary Administrative Services Intern Credential Program for candidates who are hired into positions requiring an administrative credential prior to completing all work for the preliminary credential. The Professional Administrative Services Credential Program is designed for new school administrators. It is required of all new administrators and must be begun within twelve months of securing one’s first administrative position. The emphasis within our program is on applying the theory stressed in the preliminary program to the practice our students find themselves involved with on a daily basis. Therefore, all courses focus on student selected, school focused change matrix projects. All students will have a school district mentor, a peer coach and a university supervisor. The intent is to support new administrators as they become increasingly effective school leaders. The MA – Education with an Emphasis on Higher Education is a 30 unit program designed for people seeking leadership and management skills as they work in increasingly responsible positions within student service divisions of universities and community colleges. Anyone interested in applying for admission to any of these programs is encouraged to call our Educational Leadership office.

he Environmental Studies Department provides rigorous, systematic and integrated approach to the study and management of environmental problems and issues. Upon completion of the degree program, students have a solid theoretical and applied preparation for making substantive contributions to promoting a sustainable society. With almost 40 years of experience granting degrees in environmental studies, this program has achieved a level of professionalism envied by newer environmental programs at other colleges and universities. The employment record for recent graduates is excellent. Representative occupations include specialists in environmental impact assessment, environmental restoration, energy, water resources, environmental education, sustainable agriculture, park management, environmental regulation and policy, integrated waste management and recycling. More information about the successful job placement of our many graduates is available from the department. The BS, BA, and the BA Preparation for Teaching (multiple subjects) are available for undergraduates, with the MS degree available to graduates. The BS and BA both offer a broad education in environmental concepts and applications through the core courses, along with a narrower subfield linked to a specific career pathway. This is done through the advisor-approved minor or departmental concentration and electives. The BS program provides a strong technical background in quantitative resource analysis, suitable for both resource managers and policy makers or practitioners such as energy auditors, designers of renewable energy systems, or ecosystem restorationists. The BA provides a more general education oriented toward environmental law, business, policy, planning or communications. The Preparation for Teaching program prepares the student for application to the elementary (K-8) credential program. In addition, many students in the program choose careers in outdoor education or park ranger work. Graduates from the MS degree find professional opportunities in environmental consulting, management, restoration, environmental health and safety, coastal resources and wildlands protection, to name just a few. There are over 200 Environmental Studies undergraduates and more than 70 graduate students in our MS degree program. Because Environmental Studies is interdisciplinary, our faculty are drawn from many different fields, including ecology, energy and water resources, engineering environmental studies, geography, and law (more details on faculty background, teaching, and research are available from the department web site). The Environmental Studies faculty is noted for its excellent teaching and personal involvement with students. Faculty are active in community, regional, state and international environmental affairs, and bring these outside experiences to the classroom. Many faculty conduct research and undertake other scholarly work, which often involves students.

Beyond the Classroom
An important component of the Environmental Studies major is the professional internship, where students assume work responsibilities with corporations, businesses, public agencies, non-profit groups, public schools and other organizations involved in environmental problem solving and management. Three units of academic credit are given for 135 hours of supervised professional work. The Center for Development of Recycling (CDR) is attached to the Environmental Studies Department and is funded by local government to research, develop and disseminate information on integrated waste management. Students work with CDR on special projects and earn class credit. CDR is located in Washington Square Hall 115. Bruce Olszewski is the director. The Environmental Resource Center (ERC) is an outreach and sustainability organization that works closely with the Environmental Studies Department and the surrounding community. As its primary work the ERC organizes SJSU’s Earth Day, undertakes sustainability projects, and provides resource information with its files and library. Lynne Trulio is the faculty advisor for the ERC.

Environmental Studies Honors Program
Students with a departmental GPA of 3.5 or above are eligible to participate in the honors program. Eligible students should contact a faculty member in the Environmental Studies Department to sponsor their honors project, which then will be presented at the honors colloquium. Students must enroll through their sponsor in ENVS 193 while conducting the project.

Structure of the BS, BA and MS Degrees
The undergraduate Environmental Studies degrees are structured around three components: the preparation sequence consisting of specific classes in economics, sciences, and statistics; the core classes in Environmental Studies; and the advisorapproved minor or concentration and electives that are directed to a specific career pathway. This part of the major consists of classes both outside of and within the department and must be approved in advance by an Environmental Studies faculty advisor. More details on all aspects of the degree requirements are found on the advising sheets available in the departmental office in Washington Square Hall 118 or on the department web site.

BS – General Engineering
For selected high-performing students the General Engineering degree is an opportunity to develop a special interdisciplinary major. Students must meet with a General Engineering advisor early in their studies to determine if such a plan is right for them. Other students entering General Engineering are encouraged to explore the various traditional engineering fields and select a program which fits their interests by their second year of study at SJSU. All College of Engineering undergraduate majors are required to maintain a Major GPA of 2.0 or above. Major GPA includes all courses required for the major, including math, science and engineering.
Of the 51 units required by the university, 18-21 may be satisfied by specified major and support requirements. Consult major advisor for details.

eography is for explorers, whether their discoveries are a world away or just next door. Our goal is to make sense of how people and the world’s environments interact to build the landscapes where we learn, work and play. Geographers analyze the world with broad and integrative methods, often linking data from the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities. Geography is the way to understand locations, places, and regions. It is the way to interpret both the world’s incredible diversity and its repetitive similarities. Geographers love maps. Much of geography centers on learning from maps and communicating with maps. Whether a sketch on a napkin or a computer-driven Geographic Information System (GIS), maps tell of locations and regions, routes and pathways, and the directions to both the past and the future. Modern geography, at the junction of globalism, environmentalism and the innovations in electronic communications technologies, is both exciting and rewarding. The undergraduate and graduate programs in geography at San José State University focus on the analysis of geographical processes and problems. Prospective students are encouraged to consult the geography website (www.sjsu.edu/depts/geography/) as well as the informational brochures available in the department office (WSQ 118.)

Urban Analysis is the study of the economic, social, political, and environmental patterning of cities and urban regions. Graduates specializing in this area find employment with consulting companies, real estate companies and local and regional planning agencies. Possible careers include urban planner and location analyst. The courses supporting this emphasis build a comprehensive understanding of metropolitan issues, particularly as these apply to San José and “Silicon Valley.” The MA Program in Geography focuses on geographic information science. Students specialize in geographic information systems development (including design of databases, algorithms, and application software), cartographic visualization (including design of dynamic and interactive mapping systems, especially integrated with GIS), or remote sensing (including analysis of satellite and aerial images, image processing, and environmental analysis). Geography classes encourage frequent faculty-student interaction. Courses are scheduled at convenient times. The Geography Department maintains laboratories for work in GIS, computer cartography and analysis of air photos and satellite images. Facilities include a range of workstations as well as printers and scanners for production-quality work. Geography students have the opportunity to participate in faculty research projects as well as exciting study abroad programs. All students are assigned an academic advisor, who guides the student in selecting courses and assists the student in meeting the requirements of the university and department. Students are encouraged to maintain close contact with their advisor since the shared goal is successful completion of degree requirements in a reasonable amount of time. The Geography Department has links to companies and government agencies throughout Silicon Valley, which includes one of the world’s greatest concentration of firms building GIS hardware, software and custom applications. Career opportunities in geography have never been better. The Geography Department also has formal links to the earth environmental remote sensing program at NASA-Ames and the Metropolitan Technology Center at Moffett Field. Internship opportunities for geography majors are extraordinary. The department receives requests for interns from the many firms in the growing GIS industry. In addition students find internships in an assortment of government agencies. The Geography B.A. is also excellent preparation for students interested in a career in teaching. Students planning to be teachers should consult the geography undergraduate advisor for a recommended list of courses to help them prepare for the CSET. Students interested in majoring in geography should telephone or email the department to make an appointment with the undergraduate advisor. The Geography Department follows all the university rules regarding transfer of credits from community colleges and other four-year institutions.

Undergraduate Program in Geography
Undergraduate majors complete a set of core courses that provide a common foundation in geographic analysis. Then the student selects one of three emphases for further study to complete the degree. Geographic Information Science provides training in collecting, organizing, analyzing and presenting geographic data. Geographic information is acquired from field study, digital databases, aerial photos and satellite imagery; it is organized and analyzed in map form and in geographic databases; and it is presented in both traditional and animated mapping media. Graduates find employment in government agencies, the electronic communications industries and GIS development companies. Students are prepared for professional work as cartographers, GIS application developers and remote sensing analysts. The courses in support of this emphasis build a background in computer applications and computer programming as well. Global Analysis examines global and interregional connections and diversity in both human and environmental systems. Graduates find work in multinational corporations, international development agencies and in positions such as international marketing, population, foreign policy analyst or agricultural forecaster. Global geography students take a program of both regional and thematic courses, such as Latin American, U.S., Eastern and Southern Asia, and Europe. Thematically we explore such issues as conflict, nationalism, globalization and population as well as a broad range of additional themes.

Departmental Geography Honors Program
Graduation with departmental honors in geography can be achieved by successful completion of any geography graduate seminar open to those seniors with a 3.5 GPA in geography, or completion of an Honors Thesis under supervision of a department faculty member. Students must have a 3.5 GPA in geography to qualify for Honors Thesis option.

Minor – Geography
The basic minor requires 15 units in geography, including GEOG 1, GEOG 101, GEOG 170, and two courses from one of the emphases. Also, there are a series of specifically tailored minors for the various specialties within the business curricula. The geography minor advisor should be consulted regarding these degrees of flexibility.

Brian R. Grossman, Director

erontology is the study of various aspects of aging. Aging is a vital concern because of the significant increase in the older population in the United States. This population has grown from 1 in 25 Americans in the beginning of the twentieth century to more than 1 in 8 Americans today. By 2030, that proportion will grow to 1 in 5, creating an unprecedented demand for gerontological knowledge and skills. The Gerontology Program helps students to gain a broad understanding of the aging process and the social implications of an aging society and prepares students for professional careers in services/programs benefiting older adults and their families. The Gerontology Program, housed in the Health Science Department, is interdisciplinary, drawing from courses in departments across the university. It offers a general education course that addresses issues that students face in their personal, public, and professional lives in our aging society (GERO 107). The program offers a B.S. in Health Science with a Gerontology Concentration for undergraduates who seek employment in various health and aging-related fields. It also offers a minor to prepare undergraduate students in any major for careers working with older adults in such areas as long term care, aging/community services, housing, recreation, counseling, business and other fields. Post baccalaureate students who are prospective or current workers in aging-related positions may earn a Certificate in Applied Social Gerontology. Required courses are scheduled to accommodate the needs of working students. Students at all levels have opportunities to gain practical experience and provide community service through internships that are available in more than 70 health, aging/human service, educational, and other aging organizations in the Bay Area. Recent graduates have been placed in a wide range of jobs in health and long term care, senior housing, case management, community education, social services, and other aging-related occupations. Faculty members include a blend of full-time professors with appointments in various departments and experienced professionals who teach part time in their areas of expertise.

Advising
• Gerontology faculty serve as advisors to all concentration, minor and certificate students. The director works closely with other departments that offer gerontology courses to help students select those courses that fit their individual goals. The fieldwork coordinator helps students in the concentration, minor and certificate programs to locate appropriate placements for internship experiences in various community organizations. Community college and other lower division courses are not directly equivalent to SJSU gerontology courses, since all the SJSU courses are upper division. However, lower division gerontology courses will be evaluated on a case-by – case basis. A maximum of 6 units of lower division course work may be applied to the minor or certificate programs with advisor approval. Upper division credit in gerontology can be applied to requirements for the minor and certificate programs. However, 9 units of course work must be earned at the SJSU campus for the minor and 12 units for the certificate. Credit in gerontology earned while in graduate standing at an accredited university may be applied to elective requirements for the certificate program with advisor approval. However, 12 units of course work must be earned at SJSU for the certificate.

he Global Studies BA program resulted from a long-term desire on the part of university leaders to provide education in the field of international affairs. A task force recommended its creation, and a Faculty Advisory Committee actually proposed the degree. It is one of several available in California. Graduates of the program will be skilled in the analysis of world affairs and ready for employment in a wide variety of professions/agencies. Students will design their programs with the help of a faculty advisor, who must approve important parts of students’ course work. Undergraduate transfer students have a special responsibility to obtain approval of transfer credits with the assistance of their advisor during their first semester at San José State University. Our mission is to provide an academic home and advisement for the Global Studies majors to help them discover and understand their place and future in this interconnected and interdependent world.

BA – Global Studies
Students applying to major in Global Studies should possess a strong commitment to international affairs, world geography, foreign languages, and intercultural relations. Prior study of foreign languages and travel abroad will increase students’ chances for success. The advisor will discuss with students their suitability for the program based on letters, transcripts, faculty sponsors, interview(s), and/ or essay(s) about personal experience and career goals that applicants submit when declaring the major. There are no prerequisites for admission to the major other than the general SJSU requirements.

he Division of Health Professions offers two minors, a certificate program, and courses and learning experiences which contribute to the understanding of health needs of individuals and society. The division is based on the coordination of programs in the Departments of Health Science; Nutrition, Food Science and Packaging; Occupational Therapy; and the School of Nursing. Other participating departments are Kinesiology and Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism Management. The goals of the division are to: 1. Provide programs of study that integrate a variety of health-related disciplines to prepare students for careers in the health professions; 2. Contribute to the liberal education of students through courses designed to provide an understanding of human health, fitness and health delivery systems; and 3. Meet the continuing education needs of health professionals. The curriculum is based on cooperation, coordination and collaboration among departments in the division to offer lectures, seminars, research and field experiences taught by faculty who represent a broad range of professional experience and backgrounds. This multidisciplinary emphasis provides for the study of human health as an interaction of biological-psychological-sociological systems. Collaboration extends beyond the curriculum to strengthen grant and research activities, as well as coordination of faculty and student activities in general. The division seeks to prepare health practitioners who are technically competent and who are effective in a variety of clinical, agency and community settings. Clinical affiliations and on-site experiences are essential to the Health Professions Program and, as such, are a coordinated effort among departments. Local communities, their agencies, and organizations are a valuable resource to the division to provide an understanding of community needs and health delivery systems. Particular emphasis is placed on an abundant cultural and social diversity for which new and alternative health delivery and professional strategies are required. The recruitment, retention and graduation of students traditionally under-represented in the health professions provide foci for work in the division. Emphasis is on individual advisement, counseling and the encouragement of student and faculty interaction. Course offerings are flexible to respond to societal and professional concerns. Consult the schedule of classes or an advisor for courses available under the Health Professions Program and under individual departments within the division.

Minor – Complementary and Alternative Health Practices
The Complementary and Alternative Health Practices Minor program is designed to provide a strong academic understanding of the theory, practice, and effectiveness of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies. Emphasis is on critical thinking skills and using a scientific evidence-based eye while keeping an open mind. Classes will form the basis for evaluating CAM therapies commonly practiced by U.S. residents.

Careers
The flexibility offered by a degree in Health Science, and the practical skills learned in the program, lead to many exciting careers in fields as diverse as public health, health education and administration, marketing and public relations, media, policy, research, clinical care, biotechnology, pharmaceutical development and sales, worksite wellness, politics, government, and environmental health. Students may focus on general professional skills or develop expertise in a particular content area, such as health and aging, HIV/ AIDS, college health, the environment, or mental health.

the team building and program planning skills necessary for work in our contemporary multicultural society. Students may select one of our concentrations – Gerontology or Health Services Administration, or combine their Health Science degree with a minor of their choice. A concentration in Health Professions is available for students with selected allied health certification. Peer advisors, department orientations and faculty help students decide on the combination that best meets their interests and career goals. Each of the Health Science options emphasizes a particular content area. The basic Health Science curriculum emphasizes the populations, skills, and issues that prepare a graduate for work in a wide variety of fields related to community health. Health Science plus a Minor allows individual study in areas complementary to the Health Science curriculum. The Gerontology Concentration helps students prepare for careers with the growing aging population, including health care, social services, and long term care. The Health Services Administration Concentration provides entry-level training in the administration, design, financing, and delivery of health care in the United States. The Health Professions Concentration facilitates articulation between allied health certification (i.e. dental hygiene, primary care associate, paramedic) and the Health Science bachelor’s degree. Internships under the guidance of an experience health professional are required for the concentrations. The Health Science minor is an excellent complement for degrees including journalism and mass communications, human performance, nutrition and food science, business, psychology, and the sciences. The minor is also very helpful for students preparing to apply to medical, pharmacy, dental, public health, or other health professional preparation programs. Students taking Health Science general education courses learn valuable skills for personal health, community health promotion, and multicultural communication. The very active Health Science Undergraduate Student Association (HS-USA) coordinates an annual calendar of social, educational, and service opportunities for students in the department and the broader community. Through these activities, students network with professionals in the field (Careers in Gerontology and Health Science Career Weeks), provide service to the community through our partnerships with McKinley Elementary School and CommUniversity, and attend local, regional, and national conferences. The HS-USA is also very involved with the faculty, collaborating on joint projects and advising on curriculum and program development.

Master in Public Health Program
The SJSU MPH program has been continuously accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health since 1974. The MPH program is firmly rooted in public health values and health education practice, including health, equity, diversity, empowerment, integrity, dignity, and social justice. MPH faculty are nationally recognized leaders in the field of health education and health promotion. They publish regularly in professional journals and contribute to the scholarship of the field through research, community-based projects, policy advocacy, professional leadership, training, and public speaking. The MPH curriculum reflects this expertise. Together, students faculty, and community partners are actively involved in health education and public health activities throughout Northern California and beyond. The MPH program is offered in two modes: campus (regular session) and distance (special session). Both modes follow the same curriculum and meet the same educational objectives. Campus students may enroll on a full-time or part-time basis and may take more than two years to complete the degree. Distance students must complete the MPH degree in 24 months. The distance courses are accessed via the Internet through synchronous and asynchronous learning platforms. Additional information on both program modes can be found on the Health Science Department website http://www.sjsu.edu/ healthscience/. The five core areas of public health provide the intellectual framework for advanced study of community health education at the master’s level. Students take courses in contemporary public health practice, epidemiology, social and behavioral science theory, environmental health, public health statistics, and health services organization. These courses, along with the advanced specialty courses in community health education, provide numerous and reinforcing opportunities for students to master the competencies of advanced level practice established by the health education profession. Specialty courses emphasize program planning and evaluation, community organization, multicultural communication, groups and training, and research design. All MPH students complete 400 hours of fieldwork after the first year of course work. Fieldwork allows the student to apply what has been learned in class through an intensive, high level professional experience under the guidance of a mentor. Students may choose from a wide range of fieldwork settings and opportunities, including local and county health departments, community clinics, Kaiser Permanente, foundations, research organizations, and community based organizations. In recent years, MPH students have arranged fieldwork outside of the United States including Mexico, Australia and France. All students must successfully complete the university’s culminating experience graduation requirement. Students in the campus mode may choose either a Graduate Project, Master’s Thesis or Comprehensive Exam. Students in the distance mode must complete the Comprehensive Exam. The MPH program concludes with a capstone course in public health leadership.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The MPH curriculum is enhanced by ongoing professional development activities implemented by the MPH Student Association (MPH-SA). Student leaders work with faculty members to plan, implement, and evaluate the new student orientation, annual training on sexual diversity and health, global health issues and careers forum, and master classes with visiting scholars. Together, the undergraduate and graduate students plan the department’s gala convocations that celebrate the achievements of each year’s graduates. Courses offered through the MPH Program may only be taken by MPH students or by instructor approval. Further information on the MPH program can be found at the department’s website.

nowledge of the past is a prerequisite for understanding the present and preparing for the future. The History Department at San José State University offers courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, designed to enable students to comprehend the forces that have shaped the United States and the world. In addition to producing teachers and historians, the History Department prepares students for other careers. History students develop critical thinking skills and learn to write clearly and precisely, abilities applicable in a wide variety of occupations. History is a particularly appropriate undergraduate major or minor for students who want to enter law or medical schools or other professional programs. Qualified majors are eligible to participate in the honors program. Outstanding student research papers are published in the annual journal Passports, and each spring students compete for departmental scholarships. The active local chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society, promotes academic and social activities for students. At the graduate level, our primary fields of study are Gender History, American History, AncientMedieval History, Modern European History and World History. Other specializations can be arranged. Graduate students pursue studies in two fields. To earn the MA degree each student must also meet a foreign language or research skill requirement and either complete a master’s thesis or, in fields where it is offered, a comprehensive examination. For the MA Concentration in History Education see below. Graduate students are eligible to apply for departmental scholarships. Graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening for the convenience of working students. History graduate students have won the university’s Outstanding Thesis competition. MA graduates have been accepted into PhD programs ranging from Stanford University and University of California campuses to such diverse institutions as the New School for Social Research, Tulane University and Oxford University. Among our distinguished alumni is Professor Linda Cooke Johnson of Michigan State University, editor of The Historian, the national journal of the Phi Alpha Theta Honor Society. In addition to a strong commitment to hands on teaching, History Department faculty members have had works published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and the University of California Press, among others. Faculty and students conducting research draw upon the special resources of the University Library, noted for its strong collections in California and military history. A recently established Legislators Archive is centered around the voluminous papers of longtime Congressman Don Edwards. Other research facilities located in the immediate area are the San José Historical Museum, the California History Center at DeAnza College and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Advising
The History Department has undergraduate and graduate advisors and students are encouraged to call or visit during regular office hours. We encourage students to maintain close contact with their advisor to ensure that requirements are being met.

Transfers
Community college courses evaluated as equivalent to SJSU courses in the lower division are transferable. This includes the six-unit lower division requirement in the history major. Upper division courses in history completed at four-year institutions can also be applied to the requirements for the history major. However, 12 units of course work must be earned on the SJSU campus for the major; six for the minor.

Graduate Applicants
An undergraduate major in history is not required for entry into the graduate program, but an applicant with insufficient preparation may be required to maintain a 3.0 GPA in up to 15 units of upper division history courses before being admitted as a classified graduate student. In addition to submitting an application to Student Services, graduate applicants should have three letters of recommendation sent directly to the History Department’s graduate advisor.

Honors Program in History
A student may qualify for admission to the History Department honors program provided he or she is a history major or minor or a Social Science major who has completed 15 upper division units in history. To apply to History Honors the student must have an overall GPA of 3.0, a GPA of 3.5 for all history upper division courses or the permission of the chair. If accepted, the students must complete HIST 101 and 180H, each with a grade of “A” or “B”. HIST 101 and HIST 180H normally will be open only to qualified seniors.

BA – History
Courses offered under this program are planned for those who wish a general liberal education, for those who want a broad foundation for any one of the social sciences, for those who desire advanced degrees in the field of history, and for those who wish to secure the teaching credential.
Semester Units

BA – History, Social Science Single Subject Teacher Candidates
The History Department recommends that all majors who wish to pursue the Social Science Teaching Credential prepare for and pass the California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET) in the Social Sciences. Passing the CSET will highly qualify the teacher, according to the provisions of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, to teach all four subjects of the social sciences – history, geography, economics, and civics. The department has prepared a recommended course list in the BA History for teachers preparing for the CSET examination. The department also conducts workshops to advise teachers how to prepare for the examination. Students interested in preparation for middle school teaching should see the Undergraduate Advisor.

MA – History Requirements for Admission to Classified Standing
Admission to classified standing for the MA – History requires that the undergraduate preparation of the applicant be comparable to that of a history major for the BA degree at San José State University. Included in this preparation must be one upper division or graduate course in historical method and a course in historiography may be required. The applicant who does not have this preparation must remove all deficiencies. Students who have a baccalaureate degree in a field other than history will be required to complete up to 15 units in upper division history courses. Units thus taken will not be counted toward the minimum 30 units required for the MA – History. Requirements and regulations change; thus, the department web site always contains the most current information; please reference it.

Thesis (Plan A) and Examination (Plan B) Options
Students must design their course of study with the final exercise of the degree in mind. Please note the field specific regulations that follow: All students who choose a primary field in Ancient and Medieval history currently must write a thesis (Plan A), for no examination (Plan B) option is available Students who choose a primary field in United States or Modern European history must take and pass a culminating examination (Plan B). On the exam the student is expected to demonstrate considerable breadth and depth of knowledge, a familiarity with historiographical issues, and to follow acceptable rules of grammar, spelling and literary style in presentation. The examination will be scheduled toward the end of the fall and spring semesters and students must pass the examination within three attempts or no degree will be awarded. In some exceptional cases, students in United States or Modern European history may substitute a thesis (Plan A) for this test. A thesis option will be considered only upon the nomination of a professor, who agrees to serve as the first reader. The student must demonstrate to the nominating professor, in a written proposal, that he or she is capable of completing a thesis, both in terms of research skills and writing ability and that he or she has sufficient time to undertake a major research and writing project. In addition, the proposed project must have intrinsic historical value. Demonstrating these points still does not obligate a professor to nominate or to serve as a first reader, and no reason need be given to a student for declining to supervise a thesis in any capacity. Finally, permission to write a thesis is also contingent on finding two other professors, who are willing to be second and third readers respectively; they also serve entirely at their own discretion. After all three readers have signed the thesis, the candidate must submit it to the University for final approval. A thesis committee has the option of terminating the thesis option if, in the opinion of the three readers, the candidate has shown him – or herself incapable or unwilling to write an acceptable thesis in a reasonable amount of time. In that situation the student will be required to take the Plan B comprehensive examination.

Graduate Division Approval of Candidacy  and Degree Program
At least one semester before a candidate expects to graduate, the student must complete an Advancement to Candidacy Application delineating the entire degree program, that is, the courses that the student has completed or expects to complete toward the MA. The candidate must submit the form to the Graduate Advisor and then to Graduate Studies and Research for final approval. Through this procedure, the student’s entire program will be examined to determine whether it complies with all departmental and university requirements for the degree, including the university requirement for demonstrated competency in written English.

University Requirements
The applicant must also comply with all requirements of the university as outlined in this catalog and stated in subsequent policy changes (this refers both to admission and graduation procedures). The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English as a condition for advancement to candidacy.

he Humanities Department originally grew out of a desire to provide students with an integrated perspective on Western Civilization. In the late twentieth century, globalization resulted in a justifiable mandate that our students become aware of more than the western European canon, that they learn about the teachings of Islam, the values of Asian cultures and many other aspects of world culture which were once so distant as to not require attention in our curriculum. But the world has changed and it is now our responsibility to provide students with interdisciplinary perspectives on the great questions that have long preoccupied human beings, such as “who are we, where did we come from, and where are we going?” To acquaint students with the works of those who have grappled with ultimate questions, our courses integrate history, literature, philosophy, religion, politics, music and art. We concentrate on developing our students’ analytical and expressive skills, their ability to read, write and think clearly. Our courses promote an appreciation of the arts and letters and their role in shaping modern society. Our students have won many awards for essays, poetry and short stores, and upon graduation they pursue a wide variety of occupations: law, journalism, librarianship, teaching, public service, social work and public relations. The Humanities Department offers several different interdisciplinary programs. These include two lower division general education programs: the Humanities Honors Program and the American Civilization curriculum. It also provides four baccalaureate majors with related minor programs in Humanities, Creative Arts, Liberal Studies and Religious Studies as well as interdisciplinary minor programs in American Studies, Asian Studies, and Middle East Studies. For information not found below see the catalog index on American Studies, Asian Studies, Comparative Religious Studies, Creative Arts, and Middle East Studies.

Humanities Honors Program
The Humanities Honors Program 1A/B2A/B is a four-semester survey course in the Background of Western Culture and Society (1A/1B) and Modern Cultural and Social Institutions (2A/2B) which provides students with 24 units of core General Education in a format that emphasizes the interrelationship of art, literature, philosophy and social institutions. Core General Education: Written Communication 1A/1B (6 units); Oral Communication (3 units); Arts and Letters (6 units); Comparative Systems (3 units); Social Issues (3 units); Critical Thinking (3 units). The program also satisfies graduation requirements in American Institutions (6 units). The course is interdisciplinary and teamtaught, and is organized chronologically from the Ancient World through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance (1A/B), the Early Modern and Contemporary periods (2A/B). In the last two semesters (2A/B) the course focuses upon the emergence and development of American culture and institutions within the broader framework of European, African and indigenous American and Asian history and cultures. Interdisciplinary by nature, the course is comprised of both team-taught lectures and singly led discussion seminars which require reading the classic works of Asian, African, European and American Cultures. The goals of the course are not only to teach students about the origins and development of American civilization but to develop their analytical and expressive skills, to promote an appreciation of the arts and letters and to increase their understanding of the diverse peoples and societies which have played a role in shaping modern American social and cultural institutions. Students who have an entering GPA of 3.0 and a verbal SAT score of 550 and above are automatically eligible. Those students who do not satisfy these criteria but would like to be considered for the Program may discuss waiving these criteria with the program coordinator, Cynthia Rostankowski, 408-9244508; [email protected].

American Studies Curriculum
The American Studies curriculum is a twocourse, twelve-unit sequence which satisfies over one-fourth of all lower division general education requirements. The two courses, AMS 001A and 001B, provide the opportunity to study America’s development and current conditions through themes such as the American dream, environmental issues, and ethnic and women’s studies. The course consists of team-taught lectures, followed by smaller discussion seminars. Courses are taught by faculty teams from different disciplines, which enable students to take their general education courses in an integrated way. American Studies 001A and 001B earn six units of general education credit in arts and letters (Area C) and six units in comparative systems and social issues (Area D). The two courses also satisfy the California Education Code American Institutions requirements in U.S. Constitution and California Government. See American Studies program listing in the index for course descriptions of AMS 001A and 001B.

BA – Humanities
Advisors: Marianina Olcott, Scot Guenter,  Christian Jochim
Designed for students who are interested in interdisciplinary studies, the humanities major features emphases in American studies, East Asian studies, and European studies. For each emphasis, the major requires a total of 39 units, of which 24 are interdisciplinary core course units in humanities and 15 are course units in related disciplines or areas. A special feature of the major is its flexibility. While the emphases represent coherent programs, they also offer considerable choice within the numerous area electives that allow students to develop individual programs of study to suit their own interests and needs. Devised to provide students with a liberal education through heightened awareness, broad knowledge and critical thinking, the humanities major prepares students for many professional programs and occupations such as law, librarianship, social work, communications, teaching and public service.

The ISE Program at   San José State University
The BS – Industrial and Systems Engineering prepares engineers for a broad scope of systems analysis and design challenges that deal with improving the overall performance of an organization or system. The ISE’s focus is on productivity improvement, with concern for the human aspects of work as well as with finding the right combination of resources to ensure that the organization performs at its best. Utilizing the latest computer-based analytical and modeling technologies, ISE bridges the gap between management and operations, applying organizational development, continuous improvement, Total Quality Management, ergonomics and production systems expertise. The goal of ISE is to assure that the organization’s systems are efficient, productive, safe and will not lead to cumulative injury, and that they incorporate the right tools and equipment. An industrial and systems engineer may be employed in almost any type of industry, business or institution, from retail establishments to manufacturing plants to government agencies to hospitals. The program prepares students to enter the profession immediately or to go on to graduate school. The undergraduate curriculum is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (A.B.E.T.).

Human Factors/Ergonomics
Human factors/ergonomics is the discipline concerned with the development and application of human-system interface technology to systems analysis, design and evaluation. This technology encompasses human-machine (hardware ergonomics), human-task (workplace ergonomics), humanenvironment (environmental ergonomics), human-software (cognitive ergonomics) and organizational-machine (macroergonomics) interfaces. Practitioners are engaged in developing design specifications, guidelines, methods and tools. They also apply human-system interface technology to ensure that work systems are compatible with the characteristics of the humans who operate, maintain or otherwise interact with them. Their efforts include improving the operability, maintainability, usability, comfort, safety and health characteristics of systems to improve human and system effectiveness and to reproduce the potential of injury and error (adapted from remarks published by H. Holbrook, 1995-96 President, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, HFES Bulletin, January, 1996). This program prepares students for practice in this emerging profession through an interdisciplinary course sequence that emphasizes theory, practical applications and research. Hf/E students take a group of five core courses from several different SJSU departments and elective courses in topics of their choosing. A bi-weekly seminar is required of all students each semester. The program culminates in a thesis or creative project.

Six Sigma Certificates
The revolutions in lean manufacturing and quality have swept the world and broadened into the disciplines of lean enterprise and six sigma. Six Sigma’s emphasis is on improving existing capabilities. Six Sigma is a set of structured methodologies, problem-solving tools and advanced statistical methods for analyzing and improving processes, product designs and services on a broad range of metrics, especially cost, quality, time and variability. It moves beyond treating symptoms and short-term problems to the elimination of root causes, thereby emphasizing lasting improvement. This certificate is available to ISE graduate students and local professionals

he interdisciplinary studies major for either an MA or MS degree provides an alternative for individuals whose desired study plans do not fit the degree offerings of any single existing graduate degree program on campus. An interdisciplinary studies major consists of an individualized, interdisciplinary program of 30 units, half of which must be at the graduate level. The program may be either Plan A (thesis) or Plan C (creative project). All candidates for this major must register for departmental thesis units in (299). The candidate must comply with all applicable California Administrative Code requirements as well as university requirements outlined in this catalog for admission to the graduate program, admission to candidacy and award of the degree. The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English as a condition for advancement to candidacy. Please refer to the SJSU catalog section titled “Competency in Written English” for details. For graduate courses that meet the competency in written English requirement, please refer to the Graduate Studies and Research website at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies. To be eligible for an interdisciplinary studies major, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (“B”) in the last 60 semester units of post-secondary academic work for admission to the Graduate Division. The student must also be eligible for classified admission to at least one of the departments in which he or she expects to take substantial course work for the interdisciplinary studies major. Graduate students at San José State University who wish to undertake an interdisciplinary studies major should contact the Graduate Studies office to obtain a proposal for an interdisciplinary studies major and initial approval by the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies and Research. A guide for interdisciplinary majors is located at www.sjsu. edu/gradstudies/forms. After the proposal receives initial approval, the student forms a special advisory committee comprised of at least three full-time faculty members representing the student’s major fields of interest. The advisory committee, chaired by one member, must approve the proposed program before the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies and Research gives final approval.

ew electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.” When Marshall McLuhan said that in 1967, little did he know how much the media would be affected by information technology years later. Recognizing the importance of communicating in a multimedia environment on a global scale, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications maximizes students’ communication skills in all forms of the mass media using the latest electronic technology, including computer notebooks and a wireless network. Students can learn how to: put out a daily newspaper, write features for a student magazine, report on-air for television and radio, create and execute advertising and public relations campaigns for a variety of organizations in a joint advertising/public relations student agency, research how the media reaches target audiences and work as a director of development for nonprofit organizations in the arts and social services. A wide selection of student clubs function to introduce students to opportunities, jobs and trends in mass communication and corporate communication fields. The Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), the Radio, Television News Directors Association (RTNDA), the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) and the Ad Club are student chapters affiliated with national professional advertising, public relations and journalism associations. Equally active are clubs such as Mu Alpha Gamma (magazine journalism). Other student organizations, such as Kappa Tau Alpha (national student honor society), recognize outstanding scholarship. The location of SJSU in the heart of Silicon Valley provides advantages for student internships. The School has hundreds of active internship agreements with newspapers, broadcast stations, magazines, advertising and public relations agencies and communication departments in major corporations. The School of Journalism and Mass Communications offers BS degrees in Journalism, Advertising, and Public Relations and an M.S. in Mass Communications. Graduates of the School of Journalism and Mass Communications are equipped with an education that enhances advancement not only in media-related fields but in any field of endeavor. Students learn how to gather, synthesize and disseminate information. The Internet, library and original research, interview techniques and observation are emphasized in the information-gathering process. Critical thinking and logic skills come into play along with the ability to write and edit messages for distribution by various means, including newspapers, magazines, radio, television, billboards, news releases and World Wide Web. It is policy of the School of Journalism & Mass Communications that all students have a laptop computer with software appropriate for use in their school classes. A detailed and updated list of technology recommendations is available in the school office, DBH 105, and on the journalism school website. The school counts among its graduates thousands of successful people who have achieved at all levels. They include publishers, editors, news directors, writers, Pulitzer

Prize winners, vice presidents of corporate communications at major corporations, and counselor to the president of the United States. With a degree from the school, career possibilities include: • Reporter • Copy Editor • Editorial Writer • Columnist • Magazine Writer • Speech Writer • Foreign Correspondent • Public Affairs Director • Legislative Assistant • Managing Editor • Publisher • Marketing Communications Director • Public Information Specialist • Technical Writer/Editor • Graphic Designer • Online Content Provider • Photojournalist • Advertising Account Executive • Advertising Copywriter • Public Relations Director • Advertising Layout/Design/Production • Professional Fundraiser • Development Director • Corporate Communication Vice President • Broadcast News Anchor/Video Journalist/ Reporter • Broadcast News Director • Web Writer Faculty represent a blend of experience as journalists, photographers, freelance writers, authors, graphic designers, advertising and public relations executives. We offer small classes and encourage faculty and student interaction. Faculty regularly meet with students to advise them about academic as well as career issues. Professionals often appear as guest lecturers and serve on advisory boards.

Advisement
Each student is assigned an academic advisor who guides the student in selection of course work and assists the student in meeting the academic expectations of the school and the university. The student is strongly encouraged to maintain close contact with the assigned faculty advisor. The shared goal is successful completion of the degree requirements within a reasonable amount of time.

Transfer Units/Credits
Community college courses evaluated as equivalent to SJSU courses in the lower division are transferable to undergraduate majors. A total of 15 community college semester units in the advertising, journalism and mass communication fields are transferable to the major. Four-year college credits in advertising, journalism, public relations and mass communications can also be applied to the school degree requirements. However, 12 units of course work must be earned by taking courses in the major at San José State University (nine units for the minor).

National Accreditation
The School of Journalism and Mass Communications is one of 114 programs that is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). Accredited programs embrace the value of a liberal arts and sciences curriculum as the essential foundation for a professional journalism and mass communications education. National accreditation assures students, parents, journalism and mass communications professionals and the public that our program meets rigorous standards for professional education. For graduation, students seeking degrees in the school must complete 120 semester units, including a minimum of 80 units outside the school. Within the 80 outside units must be 65 units of liberal arts and sciences. Courses offering practical instruction in fields closely related to mass communications may not be applied, regardless of where offered, including technical writing courses in English and internships, activity or independent study courses offered by other departments or schools. Students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications have consistently won awards in competitions with students from other universities. Students are encouraged to compete, and faculty advisors offer support. We are always happy to make an appointment with students or their parents to discuss the program, to provide academic or career counseling or to provide a tour of our facilities. You can reach us by email at: jmcweb.sjsu. edu or by sending a letter to the school. Our telephone number is 408-924-3240. Check us out on the web at www.jmcweb.sjsu.edu/ index.html.

he two primary goals of the Department of Linguistics and Language Development (LLD) are understanding how the languages of the world work and addressing the English language needs of our culturally diverse society. For information on any of our programs, call the department office at 408-924-4413 and ask for the linguistics or TESOL coordinator.

MA in TESOL
The MA – TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) prepares students to assess and systematically build the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of students from other language backgrounds who wish to learn English or to improve their skills in English. The department strikes a balance between theory and practice. Graduates from the MA – TESOL program staff many of the area’s English as a Second Language programs at the community college, adult school and private program level. In addition, a number of TESOL graduates have chosen careers in international settings, teaching English as a Foreign Language in universities, schools and companies in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Hungary, Mexico and other countries. MA – TESOL graduates are also eligible to teach abroad through the U.S. government sponsored Fulbright and English Teaching Fellow programs. Any undergraduate major is appropriate preparation for this degree. Courses are scheduled to accommodate the needs of working students. Those desiring more information about the MA – TESOL should contact the TESOL coordinator.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

BA in Linguistics
The BA – Linguistics undertakes the scientific study of the nature, structure and function of language. Linguists study the origins of language, the meaning and history of words, what language tells us about the workings of the human mind, and the practical aspects of language, including intercultural communication, language learning and teaching, and language as a conveyor of information in profound human arenas, such as medicine and law. Linguistics is also a central discipline that is involved in communicating with machines using natural language (i.e., artificial intelligence and machine recognition and synthesis of speech). The program offers state-of-the-art equipment for the acoustic and perceptual study of speech. The major provides excellent preparation for advanced studies in linguistics as well as anthropology, communication, education, law, and speech and hearing. Students with knowledge of more than one language have an excellent background for the study of linguistics. Transfer students are welcome in the program and need no prerequisites before declaring a major in linguistics. Students should see the general education advisor to transfer general education units and the linguistics coordinator to transfer any other classes related to the major. Those desiring more information about the BA – Linguistics should contact the linguistics coordinator.

Certificates in TESOL
The department offers both an undergraduate and graduate certificate in TESOL. The former is for students who have not yet completed the BA while the latter is for those who have. Students complete 18 units of courses related to the structure of English and teaching of English to speakers from other language backgrounds. Courses in the undergraduate certificate are at the undergraduate level, while most of the courses in the graduate certificate are at the graduate level and overlap with the MA – TESOL. It is not uncommon for students doing a graduate certificate in TESOL to continue on for the MA – TESOL. Students seeking an undergraduate certificate may register for classes through Open University or take the required courses as electives in their degree program. Students seeking a graduate certificate may register for classes through Open University or apply using the regular graduate application form. Those desiring more information should contact the TESOL coordinator.

Minor in Linguistics
The minor in linguistics provides training in the scientific study of language for students whose professional competence would be enhanced by a more thorough knowledge of linguistics than is provided by their majors.

S A N J O S E

MA in Linguistics
The MA – Linguistics provides students with an interdisciplinary education in the scientific study of language. Courses in general and computational linguistics serve students interested in cognitive linguistics, speech synthesis, machine speech recognition, and language variation and change. Graduates in linguistics offer a set of highly specialized skills to computer companies working in speech technology and artificial intelligence. Many pursue careers with companies specializing in these areas. A small but significant number of linguistics graduates enter PhD programs for more advanced study. Other graduates pursue teaching careers in language and linguistics in domestic and overseas institutions. The department offers class scheduling to accommodate the needs of working students with small classes that promote faculty-student collaboration. Those desiring more information about the MA – Linguistics should contact the linguistics coordinator.

Certificate in Computational Linguistics
This certificate prepares students for analyzing language structures in the environment of human language interfaces in software development. In addition to a programming requirement, students may take a specified set of 18 units as part of their degree requirements. Those desiring more information should contact the computational linguistics coordinator.

Upon entering a program in the Department of Linguistics and Language Development, every student is assigned to a faculty advisor. Students meet with their advisors at least once a semester in order to plan their program for the following semester. Advisors are also available to assist students with procedures for transferring units, moving to classified status, getting credit for foreign language proficiency, etc. Students in all our programs communicate with each other through the active Linguistics and Language Development Student Association (LLDSA), which works with faculty to see that student concerns are speedily addressed and to bring leaders in the field to speak to the department through its colloquia series. Linguistics students have the opportunity to network nationally and internationally through the conferences and institutes of the Linguistics Society of America while TESOL students do the same through their international professional organization and its California affiliate, CATESOL. Students in both programs are invited to join the American Association for Applied Linguistics, the International Association of World Englishes, and other organizations in the field. Silicon Valley provides a concentration of computer companies that regularly launch projects in such linguistically-related fields as natural language processing, speech recognition and speech synthesis. Likewise, a concentration of English as a Second Language programs is found in the area’s numerous community colleges, adult schools, nonprofit organizations, private language schools and workplace literacy programs. Students in LLD’s programs benefit from both practical experience and internships within these programs. In addition, limited opportunities to serve as paid tutors and research assistants are available within the department. Faculty expertise includes second language acquisition, language contact, phonetics, experimental phonology, phonology, semantics, cognitive linguistics, educational issues of language minority students, task-based teaching and learning, world Englishes, pedagogical English grammar, secondlanguage writing pedagogy, literacy for culturally diverse learners, the psychology of language processing, corpus linguistics, speech technology and natural language processing. The faculty as a whole are noted for excellence in teaching. Among the department’s many distinguished alumni are Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club; Lily-Wong-Fillmore, an internationally known expert in second language acquisition, Cynthia Chatterjee, a Palo Alto based psychiatrist and Susan Crandall, an attorney. Our MA – Linguistics graduates have entered PhD programs at UC Berkeley, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, the University of Colorado at Boulder, Ohio State University, The University of Washington, and the University of Southern California.

Students must have a grade point average of at least 3.0 in the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units.

Requirements for Admission to Candidacy
The requirements for admission to candidacy for the Master of Arts degree in Linguistics or TESOL are those established by the university and the department. For the MA – Linguistics this includes demonstrated proficiency in any language, including English, other than the native language. This requirement may be met by successful completion of the second year of college level courses (or their equivalent) of an Indo-European language or the first year of a non-Indo-European language. For the MA – TESOL this includes demonstrated proficiency in any language, including English, other than the native language.

athematics is one of the oldest intellectual disciplines. Yet, other disciplines continue to find new and exciting applications. The shape of our universe may turn out to have over ten dimensions and require an understanding of topology to describe. Bioinformatics is a new discipline combining biology, mathematics, and computer science which attempts to capitalize on the mapping of the human genome. Mathematics continues to play a role in cryptography, computer graphics, and operations research as well as in engineering and science. The BA in Mathematics can prepare students for a variety of careers. The problem solving and communication skills acquired are generally valuable in business and industry. K-12 teachers of mathematics are always in demand. Graduates from our graduate program teach in the local community colleges. The BS Applied and Computational Mathematics degree focuses on preparing students for more technical careers. Students who specialize in probability and statistics find positions related to actuarial science in the insurance industry and government. NASA-Ames and the aerospace industry have positions requiring backgrounds in applied mathematics and statistics. A minor in mathematics is valuable to majors in science, engineering, business, and the social sciences as it provides important tools of research and understanding for these subject areas. Most of our classes are taught by the full time faculty. Professors spend considerable time interacting with students outside of class.

Center for Applied Mathematics, Computation and Statistics
The Center for Applied Mathematics, Computation and Statistics (CAMCOS) is a program designed to involve government and industry in providing students with practical experience that will make them more effective employees. After a sponsor provides a problem, a team is formed of students and a faculty supervisor to work on the problem. Students receive three units of credit through enrollment in Math 203 each semester they participate. Projects have been sponsored by Hewlett Packard, Lockheed, GTE, IBM, Intel, EPRI, NASA and other companies and research organizations.

BS – Applied Mathematics, Concentration Applied and Computational Mathematics
This degree is recommended for students who wish to work in the research and development area of industry. This program also prepares a student for graduate study in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, or operations research. The concentration in applied mathematics provides a solid foundation in classical applied mathematics as well as computational mathematics, which could be informally described as “how to employ mathematics on computers wisely.” A graduate could seek direct employment assisting a group of scientists with the formulation and solution of problems. There is a great need in local and national technical industries for people with sufficiently strong mathematical knowledge to participate on such teams. For example, modern techniques for solving partial differential equations are very sophisticated; the best method in a given situation depends on the properties of the model. Once a numerical approximation has been formulated, the techniques to solve that, and the commercial software available to do it, again require informed decisions. 30 upper division units of mathematics are required for this degree. If upper division requirements are fulfilled using transferred lower division courses, then additional upper division math courses will need to be taken to obtain the required number of upper division units.

eteorology is the study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, including day-to-day weather. Climate Science is the study of Earth’s climate and its evolution over time. Both are integrated physical sciences, with ties to physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science, and even biological science in the case of global climate change studies. In today’s world, we are working to develop a better understanding of the interconnectedness of various parts of our environment, and knowledge of the role of the atmosphere is critical in these studies. This is true in the short term (Meteorology) and over longer time scales (Climate Science). The Department of Meteorology and Climate Science is dedicated to providing this knowledge by preparing students to measure, analyze, model and predict the state of the atmosphere into the next week, and into the next century. This preparation is accomplished through curricula for both the BS and the MS degrees which feature both theoretical and applied courses.

MS in Meteorology
The MS degree prepares the student for higherlevel professional responsibility, independent research, and continued graduate work in atmospheric science. Graduate level theoretical and applied meteorology courses, together with a substantial research project, lead to the preparation of the master’s thesis, which is the culmination of the MS course of study.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

General
In addition to the formal BS and MS curricula, there are many other opportunities to make contacts with prospective employers via professional seminars sponsored by the department and by the Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (SCAMS). Opportunities also arise for related work experience for students at both the BS and MS levels. These include assistantships in departmental research programs, and internships at local companies and in government laboratories. Most internships and research assistantships require the completion of some course work in the department, or prior experience with computers and/or in meteorology. Details are available through the department office. The faculty has a wide range of expertise, including aerosol physics, urban meteorology and pollution, meteorological modeling and measurements, satellite meteorology, aviation meteorology, atmospheric hydrodynamics, weather analysis and prediction, atmospheres of other planets, global climatic change, and meteorological data acquisition, processing and display. Although one of the smaller departments in the university, the Meteorology Department is one of the most active departments in research, providing students at all levels with opportunities for a variety of research experiences and financial support. Department alumni include top scientists and forecasters in the National Atmospheric and Oceanographic Administration, the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, NASA, various state and federal air pollution agencies, the aerospace industry, and aviation operations. Our alumni also include university faculty members, high school and community college teachers, TV forecasters, meteorologists in the wind power, electric, gas and oil industries, science writers and consultants for legal cases, air pollution problems and building design. Recent graduates are pursuing advanced degrees at institutions including UCLA, Harvard, and the University of Washington.

BS in Meteorology
For the traditional BS in Meteorology, theoretical courses in atmospheric hydrodynamics and atmospheric physics are balanced by handson laboratory work involving: atmospheric measurements and instruments; weather analysis and forecasting; meteorological programming; remote sensing; and statistical climatology. BS students also learn techniques of verbal, written, and electronic communication which are discipline-specific. The BS Meteorology program includes a practical senior thesis project that introduces the student to scientific research and its written and oral presentation. Completion of the BS Meteorology degree presents many employment opportunities, including: Weather Forecaster; Air Pollution Specialist; Environmental Programmer; Environmental Consultant; Middle and High School Science Teacher; Media Specialist; Graduate School.

BS in Meteorology, Concentraiton in  Climate Science
For the BS Meteorology, concentration in Climate Science (first offered in Fall 2010), students will study the science of climate and of climate change. These courses will be balanced by courses in other fields that cover a wide range of issues related to climate change, including: energy; water resources; food production and agriculture; policy. All BS students also learn techniques of verbal, written, and electronic communication that are discipline-specific. The BS Meteorology, concentration in Climate Science culminates with a course in which students will propose and investigate mitigation and other strategies related to climate change. Completion of this degree presents employment opportunities in all emerging fields related to climate change. This includes jobs in both government and the private section related to: climate change issues on local regional, national, and global scales; resource management including water, energy, and carbon.

J O S E S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y

Advising
Each student majoring in Meteorology (including the Climate Science concentration) must meet with their academic advisor at least once a semester. More frequent contacts are encouraged, especially prior to the first semester at SJSU. Formal approval of each student’s academic program must be obtained from the advisor each semester, prior to registration. Failure to plan a program carefully can result in delays to graduation.

Requirements for Admission to Candidacy
In addition to the general requirements for admission, the student must possess an adequate background in meteorology. Competence in the general areas covered by METR 121A (Dynamic Meteorology I), METR 125 (Physical Meteorology), either METR 060 or METR 171A (Synoptic Meteorology, to be decided in consultation with the department graduate committee), and METR 100W (Technical Writing), must be demonstrated to the Department Graduate Committee prior to admission to candidacy. This can be done by: satisfactory completion of these courses (or their equivalent) with a minimum grade of “B” in each; or passage of a comprehensive written examination. Students should consult with the graduate advisor concerning these alternatives. A student with classified standing may be admitted to candidacy after completion of at least nine units of graded work as a graduate student in 100 – or 200-level courses which are acceptable to the department in which the degree is sought. Note that students initially admitted with conditionally classified standing may, for example, be required to take METR 121A (Dynamic Meteorology I) to make up a deficiency (credits do NOT count toward the MS degree), and may then choose to take METR 121B (Dynamic Meteorology II), where credits DO count toward the MS degree. The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English prior to advancement to candidacy. Please refer to the SJSU catalog section titled “Competency in Written English” for details. MS Meteorology students are currently required to take METR 100W to satisfy this University requirement. Note that a student must pass the Writing Skills Test (WST) in order to register into METR 100W. See https://testing.sjsu.edu/twst. html for details.

Plan B (without Thesis)
This plan is open to students who can demonstrate to the Departmental Graduate Committee that they possess adequate professional meteorological experience. Requirements are identical to those for Plan A, except that a thesis and METR 299 are not required. Three additional units of 200-level meteorology courses (other than 285 or 298) must substituted. In addition, a suitable topic in meteorology will be selected by the student in consultation with his or her advisor on which to prepare a carefully documented written report (for two or more units of METR 298).

he Mission of the Mexican American Studies Department is to serve SJSU students and diverse communities through an interdisciplinary Chicana/o Studies Program that is based on principles of Social Justice. The program prepares students to critically examine and address intellectual traditions and contemporary issues resulting from race, ethnicity, class, and gender intersections in Chicana/o-Latina/o and other communities. The overall goal of the MAS Department is to prepare students to critically assess the conceptualization of race and ethnicity, as it relates to and is challenged by Chicana/o communities. Students develop critical thinking skills and a comparative analysis between Chicana/o and other communities. In the end, students integrate major issues and theories from MAS courses and apply them to current problems as they plan for post-graduate work. This goal is accomplished by means of: 1.) an academic minor for undergraduate students from all academic majors; 2.) a graduate program with emphases in Policy Studies, K-20 Education, and Comparative Ethnic Studies; and 3.) serving as an academic resource for Chicana/o-Latina/o communities. The minor in Mexican American studies is a unique interdisciplinary program of study that supplements any undergraduate major by providing a well-rounded introduction to the Chicana/o-Latina/o community, including its history, culture and social, political and economic context. The course work supports major programs in economics, business, politics, culture, education, personnel management, marketing, psychology/ counseling, community development, public administration and fine arts. The Master’s program offers an interdisciplinary course of study intended to provide students with a strong intellectual analysis of diverse Chicana/o and Latina/o experiences along with skills to address real-world issues in Chicana/o, Latina/o and other communities. The curriculum is grounded in the interdisciplinary Chicana/o Studies tradition of pursuing carefully developed, culturally grounded solutions to community needs. The individual courses and programs are intended to bridge the worlds of theory, cultural analysis, and practice. Students build on a solid foundation of historical and cultural analyses and attempt to develop new approaches to long-standing social, economic, educational, political, and intellectual problems that face Chicana/o, Latina/o and other communities. The program trains students to become leaders in a number of professional fields, including: teaching, social services, health care, and community service. We also prepare students for doctoral study in Chicana/o Studies, Ethnic Studies and other academic fields.

Graduate Programs Requirements for Admission to Classified Standing

he Middle East Studies Program is committed to helping students gain a better knowledge and understanding of the peoples, cultures, religions and conflicts of this strategic part of the world. The Middle East, as the historical home of the three Western monotheistic religious traditions – and the earlier goddess religions – leads the student to appreciate the origins, development and contemporary practice of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Study of the region is critical to the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and global political economy. The program provides a forum for dialogue on contemporary and historical issues of concern to the peoples and cultures of the Middle East. The program also provides background for students whose professional goals include the promotion of mutual understanding, tolerance and peace in the region. The Middle East minor is especially recommended to students seeking a career in international law, business, economic development, health care, education or religious studies. Courses encompass the disciplines of art history, anthropology, business, foreign languages, history, humanities, literature, political science, sociology and religious studies. All students are encouraged to seek both an interdisciplinary and a multicultural understanding of the region.

usic and Dance form an integral part of lives, from the logos that introduce every media program, to the dances and music that provide identity in our diverse backgrounds, and the social interaction that teaches us to live together. Study and participation in music and dance has proven to further not only creativity and critical thinking, but our sense of cooperation and community. Participation in the performing arts ranges from skilled soloist or cutting-edge electronic music producer, to choir members and instrumentalists performing for a joyous seasonal concert. With a rich history of dedication and regional involvement, the School of Music and Dance offers course work and ensembles that embrace the diversity of our region. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the School of Music and Dance offers access to both the area’s industry and to an important cultural region. San José supports the nationally acclaimed Opera San José, founded by SJSU Professor Emeritus Irene Dalis, San José American Musical Theater, the nation’s largest independent musical theatre company, the Symphony Silicon Valley, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, the Limon Dance Company of New York/San José (west coast), San José Ballet Theater, Margaret Wingrove Dance Company, Ballet San José of Silicon Valley, and thriving community youth orchestras, band programs, and cultural ensembles including mariachis, taiko drumming, and numerous Pacific Rim Ensembles. Within an hour’s drive, the San Francisco Symphony, Opera and Ballet are available to a community famous for creation of computer adventures and high-tech hardware. Professional degree programs lead to careers in performance, composition, jazz studies, and music education including a fifth year credential program. We highlight core courses in our curriculum that include experience in performance, music systems (theory), choreography (for dancers), technology and improvisation. Beyond the core courses, individual contracts or concentrations within the BA and BM degree address professional opportunities that include: • Credentialed school instruction • Private studio instruction • Choreographers and/or dancers for the concert stage, musical theatre, folk ensembles or night clubs • Vocalists or instrumentalists for the concert stage, opera, musical theatre, jazz • Composers and/or arrangers for film, television, multimedia • Sound engineering and music technology • Conductors in all performance areas • College or university instruction • Arts and education administration • Writer/scholar in Music or Dance

Music Honors Program
The Music Honors Program is designed for the superior student who has outstanding talent and scholastic ability and is open to senior music majors with a 3.5 average in the major and an overall university grade point average of 3.0. Approval by the student’s major advisor and the director is required prior to registering for honors courses. The proposed program may follow one of three general plans: a senior recital with an accompanying project paper (an historical-programmatic essay on the recital content); a major written project on some aspect of history, literature, or music education; or a major project in the field of music composition. Following official school approval, the student will register for three units of directed study in MUSC 190A (1 unit) and 190B (2 units) under a designated faculty member. The student must maintain a grade point average of 3.5 in the school and a 3.0 overall university grade point average throughout the senior year, and complete 190A and 190B to receive departmental honors at the awarding of the baccalaureate degree.

Policies and Basic Requirements for Music Majors
See Music Major Undergraduate and Graduate Handbooks for current specific policies on the Music Deparetment website. 1. All music majors must demonstrate an acceptable level of performance ability in an applied area offered in the curriculum. All entering freshmen and transfer students must perform a placement audition for the appropriate applied music committee. Successful completion of this audition is necessary for admittance to the school. A student may be admitted on probation, but must attain satisfactory standing at the end of the first semester of applied study. This standing is determined by the appropriate applied music committee at the jury examination. Students who have dropped out of school or have discontinued applied studies for credit for one semester or more are required to perform another placement audition in order to resume study. Placement auditions take place during orientation days. See Schedule of Classes for exact times and places. 2. All new students must meet with a music advisor each semester of study. Additionally, new students should plan to attend the important orientation and advisement meeting that is scheduled during the two days prior to the first day of classes for the semester. Times and places are posted in the Schedule of Classes. The advisor will guide course selection and assist with school and university regulations and academic expectation so that the student can reach degree completion successfully. It is the responsibility of the student to consult with the appropriate School of Music and Dance advisor to obtain this information. All music majors and minors must secure a music advisor’s approval and signature for each registration and/or change of program. Any change of program must be approved by the director. 3. Each music major is required to perform a satisfactory jury examination at the conclusion of each semester of applied study. Failure to appear for a required jury examination will result in a grade of Incomplete in applied study. A student performing an unsatisfactory jury examination for two succeeding semesters will be dropped from the area of applied study. 4. All music majors must participate in the appropriate major performing ensemble for at least eight semesters of registration with a minimum of four semesters during upper division applied study. See Music Major Undergraduate Handbook for specific policies about ensemble participation. 5. All music transfer students must achieve placement in their applied area, music systems and piano proficiency, regardless of units completed at another institution. Consult the Schedule of Classes for scheduled applied placement auditions, ensemble auditions and the music systems (theory) placement exam which is given only in the two days before classes begin.

General Information
A unique program of quality faculty, curriculum and innovative community service distinguishes the School of Nursing at San José State University, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in the 2005-06 academic year. Building on its respected tradition at San José State University, the School of Nursing has foreseen changes in the requirements for nursing education to meet nurses’ and society’s needs. The School entered the twenty-first century with a new curriculum and new experiential opportunities prior to graduation. New and expanded offerings in pre – and postlicensure as well as continuing education for undergraduate and graduate level nurses are offered. The undergraduate nursing program is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing. Graduates of the undergraduate program are eligible to apply for the California Public Health Nurse Certificate. The graduate program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Women and men seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing will find a quality program to prepare them for professional nursing practice in a variety of acute care and community settings, with opportunities for graduate study and continuing education. Nursing majors at SJSU receive clinical experience in communityhealth agencies, Nurse-Managed Centers and local hospitals under the guidance of nursing faculty from the university. The pre-licensure nursing program is an innovative academic program that emphasizes professional education based on strong general education. The post-licensure RN-to-BSN Bridge program provides opportunities for registered nurses to earn the baccalaureate degree at a pace that fits their lifestyle. The graduate program in nursing offers additional opportunities for nurses to obtain advanced nursing education in several options. The post-master’s certificate programs permit those nurses with master’s degrees in nursing to earn a specialized certification for advanced practice. Recognizing the importance of giving students educational opportunities to prepare for employment in the changing health care system, the School of Nursing provides numerous opportunities for students in community settings. Among these are the faculty and student operated Nurse Managed Centers.

Undergraduate Admission Procedures
The application to the Undergraduate Nursing major is a 2-step application process. Students interested in the nursing major should attend a 2 hour group advising session (usually offered monthly). Submit an application to www.csumentor.edu and official transcripts of all previous college work to the Office of Admissions and Records by the posted University deadlines. As of Fall 2010, the University has designated pre-nursing as being an impacted major. Criteria for the impaction are posted on the University web pages under “admissions.” Students are admitted as “cohort groups” once they have been formally admitted to the nursing major. (Note: the nursing major application process has supplemental impaction criteria in place.) Students must file a separate application to the nursing major (www. sjsu.edu/nursing). Prior to applying to the University, students should contact the School of Nursing for information regarding advisement for entry into the major. Advising is available through individual or monthly group sessions. Refer to the nursing web site at www.sjsu.edu/nursing for more detail, dates, times, and rooms for monthly group advising sessions. The application form for the School of Nursing is also available on the web site. This is an entirely separate application from the application to the University. All applications must be accompanied by official sealed transcripts of all college work, proof of admission to SJSU, a passing score on the Writing Skills Test, and a score from the entrance examination, the TEAS test. Courses with designated “W” or “WB” are not considered for calculation purposes. The School of Nursing has been an impacted major since Spring 2005. Impaction imposes supplemental criteria that all students must meet. Pre-nursing students apply to the nursing major, to be considered as part of an applicant pool. The School of Nursing has biannual admission application periods – Spring and Fall. Criteria for eligibility for the applicant cohort pool incude: 1. GPA in 30 most recent semester or quarter units equivalents: minimum 3.0. 2. GPA in composite of 5 prerequisite courses (BIOL 065, BIOL 066, MICRO 020, ENGL 001A, and STAT 095): Minimum is 2.75.

Post-Masters Certificate/Credential Preparation:

All options are offered only if student enrollment is adequate. Currently there are three certificate programs offered through University Special Sessions. The School Nurse and Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate, Nurse Educator programs require a master’s degree in nursing prior to admission. After earning a baccalaureate degree in Nursing from an accredited program and obtaining San José State University admission, you may enter the master’s program with a major in Nursing. If you have graduated from a non-accredited baccalaureate program, prior course work will be assessed to determine requisite content and equivalency to baccalaureate degree requirements. Programs of study for the MS degree with a major in nursing are based on this assessment. Registered nurses with baccalaureate degrees in disciplines other than nursing are accepted conditionally to provide a specialized course of study prior to taking Master’s in Nursing courses. There are a minimum of four undergraduate courses which need to be completed with a grade of “B” or better.

T

he principal emphasis of the department in its undergraduate programs is on a liberal arts education. Philosophy is fundamentally an adventure of the mind. Philosophy majors read and discuss the ideas generated by some of the greatest thinkers in history. The student will also learn to look at contemporary theoretical problems from a philosophical perspective. Because the study of philosophy develops a student’s ability to analyze ideas and arguments, to think critically, and to write well, a major in philosophy provides appropriate pre-professional preparation for various fields, including law, medicine, psychology and theology. Additionally, the major provides preparation for students interested in obtaining a background for graduate work in philosophy. A philosophy minor is compatible with almost any other major and is especially complementary to such occupational majors as nursing, psychology, business, engineering, journalism and administration of justice. The graduate program leads to the MA. It forms the foundation for doctoral study, prepares the candidate for teaching philosophy at the community college level, provides an opportunity for the application of philosophy, and offers an opportunity for continued personal development and education.

hysicists invented the semiconductor, the laser, the electron microscope, CAT and MRI imaging, superconductors and the atomic force microscope. They have key roles in the design and operation of the spacecraft that explore our solar system and the constellation of earth satellites we depend upon for communications, navigation and environmental monitoring. Physicists develop electronic and optical instrumentation and the associated computer networks used in modern laboratories and manufacturing facilities. The physics program at SJSU includes a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree that prepares students for professional careers in applied physics and for graduate study in science and engineering, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree which provides a strong foundation in physics while allowing sufficient electives for a student to pursue a second concentration (science education, for example), and a Master of Science (MS) degree. Students may obtain current information on these degrees by contacting advisors through the department office, 408-924-5210. SJSU physics faculty have expertise in lasers and optics, computational physics, condensed matter, and astronomy. External funding for sponsored research averages about 1.8 million per year. Physics students are active participants in research programs on campus and at nearby national laboratories.

olitical science majors study the public issues of the day as well as the timeless issues of government, public policy and the political process as preparation for a wide variety of careers. Our courses cover the full spectrum of political science, from U.S. politics and public administration to public law, comparative politics, international relations and political theory. Faculty members are experts in each of these areas, and are noted for their scholarship, real-world political experience and dedication to teaching. All of our classes are taught by professors – not graduate assistants – and classes are small enough for faculty to get to know students and give personal attention to the development of their analytical and communication skills. SJSU’s Political Science Department features excellent personal advising, an extensive internship program, a Model United Nations, and annual trips to the California Supreme Court and the state Capitol. We offer a number of scholarships exclusively for political science majors as well as funded internships in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. The study of political science prepares students for a variety of careers including the law, teaching, government service, legislative staffing, political consulting, interest group representation, international relations and business, nonprofit and other organizations as well as for graduate school. See our web page for a list of the occupations of our many successful graduates. The department also offers a graduate program in public administration to prepare students for administrative and professional careers in public service. The Public Administration program also offers an option to specialize in emergency management. Our advisors assist students in designing a BA in Political Science to meet their individual interests, needs and goals. Students choose their own advisors in political science so they can be sure to have an advisor who shares their special area of interest, whether it is international relations, comparative politics, U.S. politics or political theory. Special advisors are available for students aiming at careers in law, teaching and public administration. New students are welcome to talk with any faculty member or with the department chair as their initial advisor. See our web page for names, office hours and phone numbers. Only a few specific courses are required for a political science major – students are allowed lots of choices for the rest so they can focus on areas of politics that interest them most or fit best with their career goals. Students may take a wide variety of political science courses to complete their major, or may choose a careeroriented focus such as: Practical Politics: a selection of courses recommended for careers in politics, including government, legislative staffing, campaigns and interest group or corporate representation.

Public Administration: for students interested in careers in managing or analyzing government for nonprofit programs and organizations. International Relations: for students who wish to pursue professional international careers. Law: for students planning careers in law. Political Thought: for students aiming at graduate school in political theory or desiring an especially strong liberal arts education. Any questions? Phone us at 408-924-5550 or check us out on the World Wide Web at www.sjsu.edu/polisci/. Our office is open until 5:00 p.m. most days and our friendly, efficient staff, renowned for their problem-solving skills, will answer your questions or put you in contact with an advisor who can give you the assistance you need.

he BA in Psychology provides students with useful and marketable skills which go beyond basic knowledge of the content of psychological facts and theories. Successful majors develop good research and technical writing skills, develop high-level skills for analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating information, and become good problem solvers with well-developed people skills. A BA – Psychology is an appropriate broad liberal arts major for many students who will directly enter the workforce. A list of fields that frequently hire psychology students is available in the department. The psychology degree is also suitable pre-professional preparation for such careers as business, law, medicine and theology, as well as the graduate training necessary for careers in psychology. The BS in Psychology provides more rigorous training in experimental psychology than the BA, although it provides the same skill sets and preparation for the same careers. In addition, although the BS offers less flexibility in terms of electives, its more focused scientific and methodological training is particularly appropriate for those planning to pursue a PhD in psychology or advanced training in some other technical field. It is possible to move easily from the BS to the BA or vice versa early in one’s educational career, so students should consult with an advisor about their selection once they have decided to major in psychology. Graduate study in Psychology is also extremely popular. The Psychology Department offers programs for those seeking terminal master’s degrees in clinical psychology as well as industrial/organizational psychology. These MS degrees are called terminal master’s degrees because they provide training for employment rather than for moving on to the next level of graduate training. The department also offers an MA degree designed to prepare students with the background in experimental psychology that will be required for additional advanced training leading to a doctoral degree in psychology or related fields, as well as for employment in human factors or other research settings. The MS and MA degrees fulfill the degree requirement for teaching psychology at the community college level. The undergraduate and graduate students in psychology are a diverse group that mirrors the diversity in the SJSU student population, with a somewhat higher proportion of women. They are well represented on the list of Dean’s and President’s Scholars. Psi Chi, the psychology honors association, is very active in departmental activities, such as the Psychology Convocation at the end of the Spring semester, and in organizing speakers who present information of general psychological interest and relevance to students’ professional lives including preparation or graduate school applications. They also organize the Spartan Psychological Association Research Colloquia (SPARC) meeting each spring. This meeting provides an opportunity for students to present their research findings in a local meeting before venturing to regional or national professional meetings.

Psychology faculty offer students a variety of expertise and experience. Some focus on basic research in areas such as cognition, social psychology, developmental psychology and psychobiology, while others focus on more applied areas such as clinical practice, industrial and organizational psychology and aerospace human factors. Faculty in the department receive several million dollars per year in grant support. Some of these funds support projects that either hire students as research assistants or permit course credit in return for student involvement. Additionally, faculty run a variety of community-oriented and service learning programs such as the hooked-on-books reading program which promotes literacy, and domestic violence prevention programs run in conjunction with a number of community organizations. Our faculty are frequently recognized for their award winning scholarship and teaching. Each year many students are co-authors of papers presented at professional meetings or published in professional journals.

Advising
Separate advising arrangements are provided for the undergraduate and graduate programs. You should begin by visiting the Department Website or visiting the Department office to pick up advising materials. Many students also find that outside of the formal advising process, other psychology faculty whose area of expertise matches their own interests are useful sources of information and provide important mentoring and informal career guidance. The department’s Web site, www.sjsu.edu/psych is also a valuable source of information but is not a substitute for face-to-face meeting with a department advisor. At the undergraduate level, you are advised to declare yourself as a psychology major early in your academic career and meet with a departmental advisor frequently. At the graduate level, each graduate program has one faculty member designated as the program coordinator who is also the official program advisor. Graduate students who are writing a thesis also choose a thesis advisor from among the faculty.

Transfer Students
The Psychology Department welcomes transfers and seeks to facilitate the transition to SJSU. We work with community college advisors so they can provide useful information about our major. Community college courses evaluated as equivalent to SJSU courses in the lower division are automatically transferable. The psychology major is designed so as many as 9 lower division units in psychology can be transferred plus the required 3 units in biology and 3 units of statistics. Lower and upper division courses from other four-year institutions that have not been evaluated may also be transferable. We will ask you to provide a complete description of the course (the syllabus usually provides the most complete information) so that a psychology advisor can evaluate comparability. If you have a substantial amount of course work taken elsewhere, see a Psychology Advisor.

Facilities and Support Staff
The department maintains a variety of facilities and support staff to enhance instruction and research. For biological and cognitive research and instruction, the department has a number of laboratories and specialized laboratory equipment on campus. In addition, the department has an agreement with NASAAmes Research Center in Mountain View under which selected students interested in experimentation and human factors serve as interns. Students interested in human factors or industrial-organizational psychology also have access to local businesses and corporations through the department, and externally-funded research assistantships in a variety of areas are available on campus. For graduate work in clinical psychology, the department has a psychology clinic consisting of therapy rooms and adjoining observation rooms equipped with audio and video equipment. These rooms are also available to individuals working on research in other areas, such as developmental, personality and social psychology. In addition, undergraduate students interested in counseling-related activities have access to a number of offcampus organizations, and graduate student interns help staff many local mental health and related organizations. Three computer laboratories are available for use by students. These labs have extensive software for statistical analyses, word processing and other computer-related tasks. Statistical consultants are available to help with the design and interpretation of statistical analyses, and for help understanding computer exercises. The department maintains an excellent Web site where detailed information and answers to frequently asked questions may be found. Students should consult this Web site frequently. The URL is www.sjsu.edu/psych.

BS – Psychology
The BS degree is most appropriate for those students planning a research career (including most students intending to pursue a Ph.D. in Psychology) as well as those students using a psychology background as part of their preparation for medical school. In all cases, students should seek early and frequent advice from departmental advisors.
Semester Units

BA – Psychology
The undergraduate degree assures a broad coverage of the major areas of content and methods in psychology identified by the American Psychological Association as the backbone of a strong degree program. The goal of the breadth part of the degree requirements is to provide a strong background in general psychology. In addition, sufficient flexibility is offered through choices in fulfilling these requirements and through the electives so that students, in consultation with their advisors, can design a program of study which focuses on each student’s particular area of interest. A carefully prepared multi-year program of study will ensure an appropriate sequencing of required courses (e.g., STAT 95 is a prerequisite for PSYC 100W, PSYC 100W is a prerequisite for PSYC 120, PSYC 120 is a pre – or co-prerequisite for 190) as well as using the advisor’s expertise for GE, SJSU Studies, and American Institutions course selection and to ensure a strong foundation for future course work. To aid in this process the department has prepared a set of guidance sheets. These materials are especially important for those in the honors program or those planning to go on to graduate school in psychology. Other materials have also been prepared which give additional guidance in designing a particular program of study including suggestions about the order in which to take classes even if they are not governed by official prerequisite requirements. All these materials are available from www.sjsu.edu/psych or the department office.

Graduate Programs in Psychology MA – Psychology
The Master of Arts Program in Psychology affords its candidates an opportunity for advanced study of psychological theory and research techniques with the following objectives in mind: • To ultimately earn a doctorate in psychology – the course work and experience obtained in the Psychology Program is designed to enhance students’ credentials when applying to highly competitive doctoral programs. To succeed in business, industry and or a research setting – our program’s emphasis on the mastery of statistical and methodological procedures, research experience, and critical thinking produces graduates that are well suited for many careers in business, government, and/or an array of research settings.

Degree Requirements
General university requirements and procedures for completing the Master of Arts degree are described in the Academic Regulations section of this catalog. In addition to these, the following departmental requirements must be fulfilled.

Thesis Requirement
The thesis serves as the culmination of a student’s course work, research experience, and growth as a scholar and scientist. This process is guided closely by a thesis advisor; a tenured or tenure-track faculty member of the Department of Psychology. As the student’s ideas develop into a full thesis proposal, a thesis advisory committee is formed in order to provide further guidance and expertise. Collection of the thesis data begins once the proposal has been approved by the committee and the proper animal care/human subjects’ approval has been obtained. The introduction, analysis, and interpretations of these data will form the core of the student’s written master’s thesis. These efforts all culminate in an oral presentation and defense before the thesis committee. A detailed statement of thesis policies is available in the Psychology Department Office and on the departmental website www.sjsu.edu/psych.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

General Program requirements
1. The student’s combined total of approved undergraduate and graduate work in psychology must be at least 60 semester units, including 30 units for the MA Degree Program. 2. The student must complete at least 30 approved graduate units. At least 27 of these 30 units must be psychology or statistics units; of the 27, at least 24 must be 200-level courses, i.e., up to six units may be from 100-level courses with the program coordinator’s approval. 3. The candidate must complete an acceptable thesis. This thesis will be a quantitative investigation of some degree of originality and of publication caliber. 4. Satisfactory performance on a final examination is required. This examination may be written, oral or both, as determined by the student’s thesis advisory committee. This is typically satisfied through the oral defense of the student’s thesis research. 5. The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English as a condition for advancement to candidacy. Please refer to the SJSU catalog section titled “Competency in Written English” for details. For graduate courses that meet the competency in written English requirement, please refer to the Graduate Studies and Research website at http://www.sjsu.edu/ gape.

ost modern nations, including the U.S., guarantee freedom of religious belief and practice as a human birthright. However, the knowledge and understanding of religions that leads citizens to embrace religious pluralism and tolerance, which we call religious literacy, must be learned. Members of the Comparative Religious Studies Program’s faculty are committed to guiding students in the kinds of learning needed for this task. In other words, it is our goal to provide students with the key elements of religious literacy: knowledge of the basic data in the study of religions, respect and tolerance for diverse religious perspectives, and critical thinking skills that can be applied to explanations of religion from insiders (believers, participants, etc.) as well as outsiders (anthropologists, historians, etc.). In a word, the motto of the program is: “Celebrate Religious Diversity, Promote Religious Literacy.” The program presents scholarly interpretations of the world’s religious traditions. It aims to be as global as possible in covering the great diversity of religions and as inclusive as possible in covering the various methodological approaches to the study of religion. Our second motto is that we address “Ultimate Issues in a Global Perspective.” The Religious Studies degree offers comprehensive preparation for those who plan to undertake graduate education in theology, history of religions and other related areas. The major also provides preparation for graduate education in law, business and the helping professions as well as in any area of the social sciences or humanities where indepth knowledge of religion will be a distinct advantage in one’s career. The religious studies minor offers a basic understanding of religious beliefs and practices for those whose careers would benefit significantly from a familiarity with some religious traditions, such as those in teaching, journalism, business, social work, medicine and law. The minor incorporates the study of religious traditions with reflection on what religion is and how we understand it. The strengths of the program are found, above all, in the diverse backgrounds and interests of its faculty and students. They have lived and studied in various world areas, including North Africa, the Near East, Europe, India, Taiwan and Vietnam. Naturally, they are conversant with the languages of the areas in which they have lived. They have also published books and articles covering these and other areas where the world’s religions are practiced. Moreover, faculty are active in a wide range of scholarly organizations, including the American Academy of Religion, the Association for Asian Studies, the Middle Eastern Studies Association, the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness, the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy. Finally, they excel in teaching, as indicated by awards some have received from SJSU’s Institute for Teaching and Learning. The major-minor advisor works closely with students to make curricular choices that reflect their particular interests and academic preparation. Because the program is small and flexible, we can give each student personal attention.

All courses taken at California public institutions (community colleges and CSU or UC campuses) and evaluated as equivalent to SJSU courses are transferable to the undergraduate major and minor programs in religious studies. On a case by case basis, the program coordinator will consider all other requests regarding relevant courses taken elsewhere and transferred to SJSU.

he Social Sciences Department offers majors and minors which draw on social scientific methods of inquiry, connected by interdisciplinary courses that investigate subjects from a multiplicity of perspectives, rather than focusing on a single discipline. The department includes the Asian American Studies Program, the Social Science Program and the Women’s Studies Program. The undergraduate major draws on the strengths of the three programs and offers a broad, liberal arts education with a focus in the social sciences. Two options within the BA – Social Science prepare future teachers for entrance into elementary (multiple subjects) or secondary (single subject) teaching credential programs in the College of Education by satisfying the requirements of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. A third option, the topical social sciences major, enables students to specialize in interdisciplinary investigation of particular topics. Students take courses from across the College of Social Sciences. Approved topics include: Asian American Studies, Comparative Studies in Race/Ethnicity, Class and Gender, Public Service and Social Change, and Women’s Studies. Special topics may also be arranged. Interested students should consult with the department for handouts specifying required and recommended courses. Students should consult the department for new topical areas under development. The Asian American Studies and Women’s Studies Programs analyze the social, economic, political and historical dimensions of ethnicity and gender, with emphases on Asian Americans, cultural and ethnic diversity and women. Each of the three programs offers a minor.

adjacent communities in which they join with nonacademic personnel working within their own institutions. A minor in Asian American studies is selected by students planning careers requiring knowledge and awareness of the complex nature of American culture and society. Students have found the program to be useful preparation for careers in community service at many levels – local, state and national. The program offers knowledge and training to be effective in professional work in the Asian American community, in such careers as teaching, social work, urban planning, law, health, administration, business, communication, and human development. Students considering a minor in Asian American studies should consult with the program coordinator.

Social Science Program
Coordinator: Alexander Yamato
The Social Science Program offers interdisciplinary courses which cross the boundaries of disciplinary method. These courses especially focus on a social science analysis of education, interdisciplinary study of the foci of the social sciences and the unique perspectives and contributions of scholars who are people of color and women. Specified course work prepares students for elementary, middle and secondary school teaching credential programs. In addition, courses support social science topical majors.

Women’s Studies Program
Coordinator: Shahin Gerami
Women’s Studies is a comprehensive interdisciplinary program concentrating on women and gender relations. The Women’s Studies Program at SJSU has historically focused on gender, race, and class and is currently developing a concentration on gender, health, and sexuality from a transnational perspective. The learning goals of the Women’s Studies Program include the cultivation of intellectual growth, dialogue, coalition building, appreciation of diversity, and contribution to social change based on feminist frameworks. A Women’s Studies minor complements any major and is essential to understanding the dynamics of modern work culture. Students may select a 15-unit minor or a 30unit emphasis in women’s studies within the BA – Social Science. In addition to the courses offered by the Women’s Studies Program, a wide variety of courses on women and gender is offered by other departments. A complete listing of courses is available each semester in the Women’s Studies Program class list handout. Interested students should consult with a Women’s Studies Program faculty member for advising and approval of the program.

Asian American Studies Program
Coordinator: Hien Duc Do
The purpose of the Asian American Studies Program is to shed light on the forces and processes which have shaped American society. The program focuses on the perspectives of Asian Americans and their contributions in the development of the United States. It seeks to account for the similarities and differences in their participation in, and responses to, the social and cultural processes that have given form to the United States in a global context. To facilitate the study of this complex social phenomena, courses in the program are interdisciplinary, with emphases upon the social sciences. A major concern of the program is the quality of education that is made available to the university community. In recognition of the fact that American society is multiculturally diverse and that social inquiry in the field of ethnic experience has been neglected, the program engages in the dissemination of knowledge, the expansion of knowledge through scholarly research, and the exchange of ideas between the community at large and the campus. This communication with the community has been spawned by the program’s unique interdisciplinary formula for teaching and research. As part of the program’s research and teaching activities, students and faculty have undertaken several projects in

The San José State University College of Social Science Subject Matter Preparation Program is a 45 unit major. Students are required to take 6 units of lower division World History and 6 units of lower division United States History and Government. These courses provide our majors with a broad foundation in the history and political science content they will need to teach Social Studies in the middle and high school. Upper division history courses consist of 3 units of World History, 6 of U.S. History and 3 units of California History. In addition, students take three courses (9 units) that are especially designed for teacher preparation majors in the fields of Political Science, Geography and Economics. An additional course in Geography provides depth in global topics. Three Social Science courses (SOCS 177, 185, 195) emphasize the social science of education theory, exemplary studies in the field of education, diversity, practice in using technology in the classroom, modeling of varied teaching experiences, field work in the public schools and formative and summative assessment. Collectively these courses compliment the core by providing the student with the opportunity to read and discuss issues relating to creating and maintaining an effective environment for student learning, engaging and supporting all students in learning, organizing subject matter for student learning and the role of teachers as leaders and advocates beyond the classroom.

social wor k

ocial work is a dynamic, changing, and challenging profession with a vast range of career opportunities for personal job satisfaction. The social work profession has its own body of knowledge, code of ethics, practice standards, credentials, state licensing and a nationwide system of undergraduate and graduate accredited educational programs. These equip the professional social worker to combine the desire to help others with the knowledge, skill and ethics needed to provide that help. A professional social worker assists people in coping with complex interpersonal and social problems and helps to obtain the resources people need to live with dignity. At the same time, the social worker is also committed to making society more responsive to people’s needs. The contemporary social worker assists people from all walks of life, with all kinds of problems, in all kinds of settings – in public agencies, in nonprofit agencies, in hospitals and clinics, in schools, in the workplace and in the community. In confronting problems, the social worker is continually assessing, understanding, developing relationships, counseling, coordinating, mobilizing and initiating efforts to help people build their own lives while also helping the community create and deliver the services and support that people need. All basic social work education includes courses on human behavior, family dynamics, social policy and services, social work methods, research, knowledge of community resources and how to use them, and agency field placements to develop practice skills. Special course work and selected field placements enable students to pursue individual interests within the field of social welfare. It is the purpose of the BASW and MSW programs in Social Work to prepare social workers for culturally competent practice with Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans, and those communities, groups, families and individuals in California who are disenfranchised, oppressed and/ or marginalized. Within this special focus, the transcultural social work perspective developed by the Social Work programs promotes commitment of students, faculty and alumni to advocate for social justice, to build upon the strengths of diverse cultures, and to enhance the well-being of individuals and their communities.

BA – Social Work
The BASW program, which has been fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education since 1976, educates generalist social work practitioners with a liberal arts foundation for practice from a transcultural perspective with individuals, families, and groups within organizations and in the context of broader communities in which they are embedded. To develop the necessary professional generalist skills in their work with individuals, families, groups, and communities, the BASW program curriculum and field practicum experiences provide students with learning opportunities to develop: 1) a selected body of knowledge about social institutions, and methods of problem-solving in social relationships; 2) the skills for integrating knowledge, thought, and feeling into an effective and efficient program of doing; and, 3) a personal and professional value system which incorporates a growing self-awareness necessary for the sensitive and disciplined use of self in helping roles. In addition to the core social work curriculum, which includes human behavior in the social environment, social policy and programs, practice, social research, and field education, electives are offered to expand a student’s interest in the areas of social work with families; social services to children and youth; alcoholism and substance abuse and the family.

To be admitted to candidacy for the Master of Social Work degree, students must meet the general requirements of the university as set forth in the Academic Regulations section of this catalog. The University requires that all graduate students demonstrate competency in written English as a condition for advancement to candidacy. Please refer to the SJSU catalog section titled “Competency in Written English” for details. For graduate courses that meet the competency in written English requirement, please refer to the Graduate Studies and Research website at www.sjsu. edu/gradstudies. The applicant must demonstrate aptitude for advanced study in social work, as measured by successful completion of the first year of study, instructor appraisals, evaluation of previous academic work, recommendations by qualified professionals, or other assessments. The applicant must meet with the MSW graduate advisor to complete an application for candidacy. The application includes an official program of study listing all courses needed to complete the requirements for the degree. The program of study must be approved by the MSW graduate advisor and then by the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research, who notifies the student of acceptance into candidacy.

The Curriculum (60 Semester Units Total) The First Year Curriculum   (32 Semester Units)
In the first year students develop a solid foundation in generalist social work practice with the goal of effective performance under the guidance and supervision of a professional social worker. The primary skills and competencies that are taught consist of the ability to assess, plan, implement and evaluate practice with systems of varying size from a transcultural perspective.

MSW – Master of Social Work
The MSW Program offers graduate professional education in advanced social work practice from a transcultural multi-systems perspective, with a particular focus in a field of practice. The curriculum has been developed to emphasize application of skills in those areas of practice where the need for social workers in the next decade will be the greatest in the state of California. The program prepares graduates for advanced practice and leadership in the following fields of practice: aging, children, youth, and families; health/mental health; and school social work. The graduate program has been fully accredited by the national Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Social Work Education since 1973.

The Second Year Curriculum   (28 Semester Units)
The second year of the MSW program sequentially builds upon foundation content attained in the first year to prepare students for advanced practice from a transcultural and multi-systems perspective. As students progress through the program they are expected to increase their levels of independence, initiative and leadership, utilizing greater discretion and judgment for self-direction and professionally autonomous practice, with systems of varying size. In addition, content is included on the fields of practice which are particularly connected to the mission of the program and the practice needs of the region: aging; children, youth, and families; school social work; and health/ mental health, particularly those who are Latino, African American, Asian American and Native American, and are communities, groups, families and individuals who are disenfranchised, oppressed and/or marginalized

Requirements for Admission to Classified Standing
In addition to the general requirements established by the university as set forth in the Admissions section of this catalog, applicants for admission to classified standing for the Master of Social Work degree must have demonstrated a commitment to social work goals either by having completed undergraduate social work education, or hold a BA in a related field and have significant experience and/or personal involvement with minority groups and communities on social issues. To be admitted to the program a student must: 1. Complete a separate application for admission to the University, submit required transcripts and pay the required application fees (University and MSW program fees). 2.

ociology examines people’s behavior in groups. It analyzes how social institutions and social structures like the workplace, economy, politics, education, marriage and family, mass media and the criminal justice system affect individuals, and how individuals actively change their surrounding social worlds. Sociologists also explore how socioeconomic status (social class), gender, race/ethnicity/ immigrant status, age, sexual orientation, and marital status affect people’s chances in life, their behavior and their attitudes. Through the insights provided by the study of sociology, students gain an understanding of – – and potential solutions to – – current social issues and social problems. Sociology BA recipients may move directly into the department’s MA program in general sociology or with a Concentration in Criminology. Many of our MA graduates continue on to PhD programs at some of the finest universities in the nation.

The program is offered cooperatively by the Departments of Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology, although the Department of Anthropology performs all academic advising. The knowledge and skills Behavioral Science students learn help prepare them for a variety of jobs that require using social science data and working with other people. Many students use a Behavioral Science major as preparation for graduate work in health care, social work, human resources, and other professions. Students majoring in behavioral science may also fulfill the requirements of the Behavioral Science/Sociology double major. This option is recommended for students who anticipate continuing their education beyond the BA degree. The requirements for the BA – Behavioral Science are located under the Behavioral Science Program listing in this catalog. The requirements for the Behavioral Science/Sociology double major are listed in the Behavioral Science Program listing. Students interested in further information about the double major should contact the Department of Anthropology, 408-924-5710.

Requirements for Admission to Conditionally Classified Standing
Applicants meeting the university’s requirements for the Graduate Division but lacking one or more of the department’s requirements for classified standing, may be admitted to conditionally classified standing, if it is determined that the applicant’s academic record or work-related experience indicates promise of a successful graduate career in sociology. Applicants who do not have the grade point average required may be admitted conditionally if there is other evidence of academic ability, such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applicants who have not completed the undergraduate prerequisite requirements, but who have met the required grade point averages, may be admitted as conditionally classified students. They may take graduate courses concurrently with the required undergraduate prerequisites. Any undergraduate prerequisites must be taken within the first year of enrollment as a conditionally classified student. All required undergraduate prerequisite course work must be passed with a grade of “B” or better and a minimum 3.0 grade point average must be maintained in order to continue with the graduate program. Students may repeat an undergraduate prerequisite course in the first year, if they do not meet the minimum grade requirement. If within the year, the minimum grade for any undergraduate prerequisite course is not met, students will not be allowed to continue the program. The graduate prerequisite courses 200A and 201A must be passed with a grade of “B” or better. If after the second attempt, a grade of “B” or better is not achieved for these courses, students will not be allowed to continue the program.

The department reserves the right to dismiss any student from the program if their grade point average falls below a 3.0 by notifying the Associate Vice President for Graduate Admissions. This process is known as administrative academic disqualification (see Section 41200.1, Title 5, California Code of Regulations) Conditionally classified students may complete up to 12 units of graduate work before becoming classified. Once students have completed all prerequisites and have maintained a 3.0 or higher grade point average in all courses taken while conditionally classified, they may apply for classified standing.

The Plans
Plan A (Thesis) and Plan C (Creative Project): Students selecting the thesis option must demonstrate research and writing competency and show the ability to conduct independent research. Upon successful completion of the two written comprehensive exams, the student, with the approval of the graduate advisor, selects a thesis or creative project committee consisting of at least three members, two of whom must be from the faculty in the Sociology Department. The chair of the committee must also be a tenured or tenure-track faculty member in the department. The student may enroll in up to 6 units of Thesis/Research hours (SOCI 299) with the professor designated as chair of the committee. Plan B (Special Study): After the successful completion of two comprehensive examinations, the student writes two additional comprehensive examinations in two areas of study based upon graduate level sociology courses taught by two different SJSU instructors. Plan B students are required to complete SOCI 298, which is a special study project.

Every student is assigned to a faculty advisor. The program expects every student to consult regularly with their advisors and to obtain the advisor’s approval and signature on all required registration forms. Undergraduate transfer students have a special responsibility to obtain approval of transfer credits with the assistance of their advisor during their first semester at San José State University. The role of program coordinator will alternate between these two departments every three years; the program office and support will be provided by the current program coordinator’s home department.

The software industry increasingly requires those with a suitable software engineering background for their cutting edge projects. Graduates with a BS in Software Engineering can expect to find significant opportunities in software development, management, and marketing. A wide variety of computing equipment is available. Courses are usually conducted using the specialized equipment at the departments, with a variety of sophisticated workstations and state-of-the-art software engineering tools. Students are required to have a laptop with wireless capability. Freshmen should choose their major when they apply for admission. However, the software engineering program is designed to be flexible for those students who might want to refocus their efforts after beginning in another program. To that end, lower division Software Engineering is quite similar to the Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs. All College of Engineering undergraduate Majors are required to maintain a Major GPA of 2.0 or above. Major GPA includes all courses required for the major, including math, science and engineering. Note: Students should periodically review the B.S. Software Engineering Student Guide on the web site or obtain the B.S. Software Engineering Student Guide booklet for the latest information regarding the B.S. in Software Engineering Program.

BS Software Engineering
The program prepares students to enter the profession immediately or to go on to graduate school. The goal of the BS program in Software Engineering is the preparation of software engineers: professionals who develop software products on time, within budget and that meet customer requirements. The course work builds on computer science fundamentals and mathematical principles to cover the design, analysis, verification, validation, implementation, deployment, and maintenance of software systems. The program focuses on practical aspects of building and deploying real software systems in a socially responsible way. The hallmark of the program provides the students with an educational experience that builds on traditional computer science and engineering, but distinguishing itself in the following ways: • Courses emphasize the team approach to building software and provide leadership opportunities for every student. • Courses place an emphasis on software processes and lifecycles. • Courses include significant learning in management areas such as project planning, resource allocation, quality assurance, testing, metrics, maintenance, configuration management and personnel management. • A degree that has a stronger emphasis on mathematics and use of engineering methods in software design. The software engineering curriculum culminates in a year-long capstone sequence where the students work in teams to build a large software system. Students are encouraged to complete a co-operative education experience prior to enrollment in these courses, in order to gain some direct, industrial experience before embarking upon their own project. A few years after graduation, we expect the students of this program to: 1. Be engaged in successful professional practice in their chosen discipline. 2. Demonstrate personal and professional leadership in their workplace and their community. 3. Demonstrate effective communication in an engineering environment. 4. Utilize formal and informal learning opportunities to maintain and enhance technical and professional growth.

he department offers curricula leading to the BA–Radio-Television-Film, BA–Theatre Arts, the MA–Theatre Arts, and a Theatre Emphasis Teaching Credential. Students may advantageously supplement their training in one area with experience in the others. The BA–Theatre Arts degree offers a broadly based liberal arts education and an opportunity for specialized training in acting, directing, playwriting, design/technical theatre and dramatic literature. The BA–Radio-TelevisionFilm offers training and experience in radio, television, film production as well as courses in history, scholarship, and aesthetics of these media. The department operates a full time 24-hour a day radio station, KSJS-FM, providing entertainment, sports and community service to the Bay Area. The MA–Theatre Arts is focused on an interdisciplinary approach to performance which includes seminars and individual studies in theatre, television, radio, film and multimedia. A teaching emphasis in theatre, available through the single subject matter preparation in English, results in a BA– Theatre Arts consisting of an interdisciplinary program with 44 units in theatre and 27 units in English. The mission of the Department of Television, Radio, Film and Theatre is to prepare students for successful careers in film and stage performance and broadcast media. We see this as indistinguishable from our parallel mission: to nurture ethical, thinking and compassionate human beings. To this end, and given our location in the heart of Silicon Valley, both areas of the Department – Theatre Arts and Radio/Television/Film – are committed to the development of artists, educators and scholars of the highest possible caliber. The importance of our mission cannot be overstated. The single largest contributor to our nation’s GNP is the entertainment industry. America needs college-educated, liberal arts-oriented people in the production and distribution of our cultural artifacts and in control of our cultural dialogue. As new performance technologies emerge, especially computer-based technologies, our department has responded with education that keeps our students on the cutting edge by applying dramatic performance skills to TV, radio, film and multimedia. Students in our program use computer hardware and software to create performances meant for mass audiences. Students engage in narrative storytelling using both traditional film and digital video. Students are challenged to consider the theoretical and apply the practical. For complete details on our programs see www.tvradiofilmtheatre.com

Internships
The RTVF Program students are required to complete an off-campus internship during their junior and/or senior year in order to gain real-world experience and make practical application of what they have learned in major courses. Students are placed in radio and television stations, media production companies and media/communication oriented businesses.

RTVF Portfolio
In addition, throughout their academic program, RTVF students are required to contribute specific production, scholarship, and writing assignments to a portfolio that will be organized and prepared for evaluation during the internship course. This portfolio then can be used to secure employment after gaduation.

Faculty
Television, Radio, Film and Theatre faculty members maintain scholarly and professional involvement across the performance disciplines. Between them, the faculty have published 30 books, three PBS television productions, several feature films, more than 100 articles in scholarly journals or books and have regularly contributed papers, panels and workshops to many professional organizations. Faculty also maintain professional currency as performers, directors, writers, producers, designers, administrators, technicians, consultants and volunteers for Bay Area theatre companies, national and international production companies in theatres, video, film, radio and multimedia.

s our nation and the world become increasingly urban in character, there is growing interest in urban and regional planning. Planners work to manage and guide the critical issues of urban and regional growth and change, as well as to promote environmental and social balance. Planners strive to encourage orderly growth and development responsive to the present and future needs of society. Careers for urban and regional planners exist in city, county, regional, state and national government, private consulting firms, nonprofit organizations, and research and academic institutions. The Department of Urban and Regional Planning is uniquely poised to educate future and current planning professionals and to generate innovative research to further the discipline. The university is located in downtown San José, the largest city in Northern California and the capital of Silicon Valley, one of the most rapidly changing and socially complex metropolitan areas of the nation. The department takes advantage of its urban location by collaborating with local planning agencies and through hands-on work with community-based organizations. Faculty and students engage in public service projects designed to assist local communities in addressing topical planning issues, while also providing students with real-world professional experience. Through these projects and other course work, students become familiar with cutting-edge planning concepts and applications that are evolving locally in the Silicon Valley and the larger Bay Area. In addition, departments across SJSU offer courses in a wide range of fields that complement the offerings within the Urban and Regional Planning Department, such as design, engineering, environmental studies, ethnic studies, geography, public administration, social work, and sociology. The department offers an undergraduate minor in Urban Studies, two graduate certificate programs, and a Master of Urban Planning (MUP) degree.

Certificates
The Department of Urban and Regional Planning at San José State University offers four certificate programs which lead to specialization in Community Design and Development, Environmental Planning, Transportation and Land Use Planning, and Applications of Technology in Planning. The certificate programs are open to upperdivision undergraduate or graduate degree students enrolled in any program at San José State University (SJSU). Members of the public who hold an undergraduate degree may also complete the certificate program through SJSU’s Open University. To earn a certificate, students must complete a total of either eighteen or nineteen units of course work, depending on the certificate. If course work is taken through Open University, a maximum of 9 units may be applied towards the MUP degree. For detailed information on these programs, see the department’s website at www.sjsu.edu/ urbanplanning/ or contact the department’s Graduate Student Advisor.

MUP – Master of Urban Planning
The MUP program trains skilled professionals who graduate with a strong education in general planning practice and theory, as well as specialized training in planning sub-fields. The program allows students to develop professional skills in an area of specialization such as Community Design and Development, Environmental Planning, Transportation and Land Use Planning, and Applications of Technology in Planning. Graduates leave the program prepared with practical skills and theoretical knowledge that they can employ in jobs working to improve the quality of life and economic opportunity for all residents of urban regions, as well as improving the quality of the natural environment. A special mission of the program is to provide planning education opportunities for a diverse student population, including working students who prefer to attend the program on a parttime basis. The MUP is an accredited professional degree program nationally recognized by the Planning Accreditation Board.

Minor – Urban Studies

In particular, the minor focuses on the increasing recognition of the need to assert human values (in particular, moral, social, aesthetic and political values) given the accelerating development of modern technology and the associated increasing complexity and interconnectedness of our lives. Courses in the minor examine these themes as they are reflected in such issues as war and peace, the environment, health, modern science and technology, our use of computers, and the expression of values in our technological society through ethics, art, design and religion.

o you want to connect with the world through your own line of communication? Learning another language will enable you to understand the complexities of intercultural communication. The study of world languages should lead you, through comparative analysis, to a better understanding of your own language and the cultural and thought patterns it reflects and engenders. It will broaden your understanding of the world beyond the confines of your own linguistic and cultural milieu and expose you to new patterns of language and thought. In addition, the study of world languages will help you to internationalize your professional profile by affording you a strong competitive advantage in pursuing opportunities in today’s global economy and culture. To that end, the Department of World Languages and Literatures offers majors in five of the most useful and widely spoken languages in the world: Chinese and Japanese for a direct connection with Asia, and French, German and Spanish to link up with Europe, Africa and Latin America. In addition to our majors and minors in these languages, the department offers minor programs in Italian, Portuguese and Russian as well as language and culture courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Punjabi and Vietnamese. We connect in time with our classical traditions through our offerings in Greek and Latin. In association with the international programs of the CSU system, our department offers you the opportunity to study abroad. While there, you will perfect your language skills and deepen your understanding of the people and culture associated with the language you have chosen to study. The department also has the means to help qualified students finance their studies with generous stipends from our Meta Marion Goldsmith Scholarship Fund. To accommodate the special needs of some of our students, we offer individualized, self-paced courses in several of our programs. To service the needs of high schools and community colleges in our area, we offer subject matter preparation programs for the single subject credential in Chinese (Mandarin), French, and Spanish as well as Master’s of Arts degrees in French and Spanish. Our faculty is among the most diverse imaginable by virtue of our multicultural origins and backgrounds, multilingual skills and multifaceted training. So too are our students, which makes for an exciting mixture and convergence of talents and interests. The closeness of faculty and students in our department arises from this shared diversity as well as from the continual contact and exchange required by the methodology of language instruction. As a consequence, our academic advisement is highly personalized. Almost without exception, advisees have also been students in one or more of their advisor’s classes.

Teaching is generally the career of choice for most of our graduates, but they also follow career paths leading to employment as translators and interpreters; civil servants for local, state and federal agencies; agents for tourism and the leisure service industry; reporters, journalists, broadcasters and publishers for the mass media and communications industry, and myriad other occupations in national and international business and finance.

General Undergraduate Information Entering a Program
Upon declaring or entering one of our majors, students must meet with an advisor to discuss placement and have the hold on registration lifted in order to enroll in classes.

Placement Examinations
These exams will be given in our Media Center (Clark Hall 208) at the beginning of each semester to students who have studied beyond the second year in high school but have not taken courses at the college level. Those who have will enroll in the course for which they qualify on the basis of college units accumulated. The placement test is not a full proficiency test.

Academic Regulations
Academic Renewal
(formerly known as“Disregard of Previous Semesters’ Work”)
Under certain circumstances, the university may disregard up to two semesters of previous undergraduate course work taken at any institution from all considerations associated with the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. These circumstances are: 1. The student has formally requested such action and presented evidence that substantiates that the work in question is substandard and not representative of her/his current scholastic ability and/or performance level, and 2. The previous level of performance was due to extenuating circumstances, and 3. All degree requirements except the earning of at least a “C” (2.0) grade point average have or will soon have been met. (University policy regarding academic renewal is not intended to permit the improvement of a student’s grade point average beyond what is required for graduation.) Final determination, that one or more terms shall be disregarded, shall be based on careful review of evidence by a committee appointed by the president. Such final determination shall be made only when: Five years have elapsed since the most recent work to be disregarded was completed, and 1. The student has earned in residence at SJSU since the most recent work being considered was completed: a. 15 semester units with at least a 3.0 GPA or b. 30 semester units with at least a 2.5 GPA or c. 45 semester units with at least a 2.0 GPA. 2. When such action is taken, the student’s record shall be annotated so that it is readily evident to users of the record, that NO work taken during the disregarded term(s), even if satisfactory, has been applied towards the meeting of degree requirements. However, all work must remain legible on the record. 3. If another institution has acted to remove course work from consideration, such action shall be honored in terms of that institution’s policy. But, elimination of any course work’s consideration shall reduce by one semester the two semester maximum on the application of academic renewal to an individual SJSU student’s record. Apply for Academic Renewal (formerly known as ‘disregard of previous semesters’ work’) at www.sjsu.edu/ugs.

Undeclared Category
The university accepts freshmen who are not ready to declare a major academic objective into the undeclared category. Students selecting the undeclared category for admission must declare a degree major objective prior to attaining junior standing. Students must obtain prior approval from the department in which they ultimately choose to major in accordance with university regulations. Students who are in doubt about their degree program are encouraged to seek assistance from Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. Trained counselors are also available in Counseling Services and in the Career Center. Students will be assisted on an individual basis with the appropriate use of vocational assessment when necessary. Undeclared students should report to Academic Advising & Retention Services in the Student Services Center for General Education and other academic advisement.

Course Numbering System
Course Numbers Lower division (freshman and sophomore) courses are numbered 1-99 and cannot be used for credit in graduate or credential programs; upper division (junior and senior) courses are numbered 100-199; graduate courses are numbered 200-299. Methods or professional courses given by or for other departments are allowed upper division credit and are numbered 300-399. 180, 184, 96, 196 and 296 Courses Individual Studies (180) and Directed Reading (184) are used for independent study and are generally reserved for majors within a department. Normally, no more than four units of 180 and/or 184 may be taken for baccalaureate credit (see Unit Requirements). Courses numbered 96, 196 and 296 are offered to meet special demands for experimental courses on a temporary basis and are listed in the SJSU Schedule of Classes, but not in this catalog. 400-499 Continuing Education Units Courses in the 400-series are especially designed for professional in-service and relicensure purposes. Continuing Education Units (CEU) are given for these courses. Courses are not applicable to degree programs and units earned do not affect grade point totals or average.

Classification of Students
San José State University students are classified in the lower or upper division or in graduate standing based on the units completed. The basis of classification is as follows: Lower Division Freshmen are those who have earned a total of fewer than 30 semester units. Sophomores are those who have earned a total of 30 through 59 semester units. Upper Division Juniors are those who have earned from 60 through 89 semester units. Seniors are those who have earned 90 semester units or more. Second or Postbaccalaureate students are those possessing a recognized baccalaureate degree and enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Unless otherwise noted, postbaccalaureate students follow the same policies and procedures as upper division undergraduates. Graduate Standing Graduate standing is the classification for those who possess a recognized baccalaureate degree and are enrolled in graduate studies or in school credential programs.

Grading System
A, B, C, D, F Letter Grades
The grading policy of SJSU provides that A, B, C, D, F, shall be the basic grading system and shall apply to all course work acceptable toward a degree program except for those courses in which it is mandatory or permissible that Credit/No Credit grades be used. A+, A ..........................................4.0 A- ...............................................3.7 B+ ..............................................3.3 B ................................................3.0 B-...............................................2.7 C+..............................................2.3 C ................................................2.0 C- ..............................................1.7 D+..............................................1.3 D ................................................1.0 D- ..............................................0.7 F ................................................0.0 WU.............................................0.0

An “I” must normally be made up within one calendar year immediately following the end of the term during which it was assigned. This limitation prevails whether or not the student maintains continuous enrollment. Failure to complete the assigned work will result in an “I” being converted to an “IC” symbol, or an “NC” for non-traditionally graded courses, unless the faculty member assigns a specific letter grade at the time the Incomplete is assigned, which would replace the “I” in the student’s record after the calendar year deadline.

“IC” (Incomplete Charged)
Failure to complete the assigned work within the established calendar year period for an “I” grade will result in an automatic grade change to an “IC” grade which calculates as failing grade for grade point average and progress point computation.

“RD” (Report Delayed)
The “RD” symbol may be used where a delay in the reporting of a grade is due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. The symbol may be assigned by the registrar only and, if assigned, shall be replaced by a substantive grading symbol as soon as possible.

“AU” – Auditing a Class
An auditor must be officially enrolled in the course. Enrollment as an auditor is subject to permission of the instructor provided there is space available in the course. Auditors are subject to the same fee structure as credit students and regular class attendance is expected. Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit status unless such a change is requested no later than the last day to add classes in that term. A student who is enrolled for credit may not change to audit after the last day to add classes in that term.

“RP” (Report in Progress)
The “RP” symbol is used in connection with courses that typically extend beyond one academic term. It indicates that work is in progress but that assignment of a final grade must await completion of additional work. Work is to be completed within one year except for graduate degree projects and theses (supervised courses, e.g., 298 & 299 courses), which have a two-year time limit. Failure to complete the assigned work for an “RP” grade will result in an automatic grade change to an “NC” grade unless a request for an extension has been made and approved. A final grade will be assigned to all segments of the course on the basis of overall quality. Any extension of this time period must receive prior authorization by the instructor and department chair or school director.

Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Grades: Elective
An upper-division (Junior or Senior) student shall have the option of taking a maximum of 12 semester units as long as the units are not in the major or minor, or in support of, preparation for or prerequisite to the major or minor, or for General Education on the basis of Credit/No Credit for courses under the basic letter grade system. Eligible students may choose this option by turning in the CR/NC option form, available at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms, by the add deadline. Students may accumulate a maximum of 60 semester units of Credit/No Credit grades toward a baccalaureate degree. In addition to turning in the CR/NC Option form, you must have officially added the class. CAUTION: Credit = A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C; No Credit = C-, D+, D, D-, F, WU.

“W” (Withdrawal)
The symbol “W” on the official transcript (or “W” or “WB” on the unofficial transcript) indicates that the student was permit­ted to withdraw from the course after the drop deadline for the term with the approval of the appropriate campus administrator. It carries no connotation of quality of student performance and is not used in calculating grade point average or progress points. However, there are limits on the number of allowable units of “W” on the unofficial transcript. Undergraduate students may withdraw from no more than 18 units. Postbaccalaureate students may withdraw from no more than 12 units. Graduate students may withdraw from no more than 9 units. Exceptions to these units limits are granted when the cause of withdrawal is due to circumstances clearly beyond the student’s control and the assignment of an Incomplete is not practicable. Such exceptions are designated “WB” on the unofficial transcript and will revert to “W” on the official transcript (University Policy S09-7). Undergraduates may download the appropriate petition (course drop or withdrawal from all courses) at www.sjsu.edu/aars/forms. When the policy goes into effect for graduate students, the petition for will be available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms.

S A N J O S E

Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Grades: Mandatory
“CR/NC” grades are mandatory for thesis and remedial course work. It is also normally used in projects, field work, internships, individual studies, or directed reading. As recommended by departments and approved by the college dean, credit/no credit grades may be used in activity and laboratory courses, workshops, and selected seminars (colloquia). Students may accumulate a maximum of 60 semester units of Credit/ No Credit grades toward a baccalaureate degree (excluding any remedial course work). A maximum of 40 percent of the units required in a graduate degree can be credit/no credit (e.g., 12 units in a 30 unit program).

S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y

“I” (Incomplete) Grades
The symbol “I” (Incomplete Authorized) indicates that a portion of required course work has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period due to unforeseen, but fully justified, reasons and that there is still a possibility of earning credit. The student cannot reenroll in the course. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the attention of the instructor (regarding the unforeseen reason(s) for requesting an Incomplete) and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements that must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete. A final grade is assigned when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated. Clearing an incomplete grade does not permit retaking previously completed portions of the course, nor does it permit assignment of additional graded work (e.g., extra credit) that was not available to other students in the class.

“WU” (Withdrawal Unauthorized)
The symbol “WU” indicates that an enrolled student did not withdraw from the course and also failed to complete course requirements. It is used when, in the opinion of the instructor, completed assignments or course activities or both were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible. For purposes of grade point average and progress point computation this symbol is equivalent to an “F.”

Maximum Unit Loads
An undergraduate student who takes 12 or more units is classified as full-time. Students with work responsibilities outside of school should reduce their study loads appropriately. The maximum load for graduate students is normally 15 semester units. Reasonable exceptions beyond this number may be approved, for sufficient cause, by the graduate student’s official advisor. Loads beyond 18 units will need special approval by the student’s advisor and department chair. The Graduate Studies and Research Committee strongly recommends that graduate students carry no more than 12 units of 200-level work in any one semester. There is no official minimum load for graduate students other than for those who wish to receive subsistence or other benefits. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regulations on international students require that undergraduates maintain full-time status of 12 semester units and graduate students 9 semester units, excluding summer in both cases. To appeal this regulation, go to International Programs and Services.

A+ ..........................4.0 A ............................4.0 A- ...........................3.7 B+ ..........................3.3 B ............................3.0 B-...........................2.7 C+..........................2.3 C ............................2.0 C- ..........................1.7 D+..........................1.3 D ............................1.0 D- ..........................0.7

The scholarship average is based on courses in which letter grades are earned (the total number of grade points divided by the number of units in letter-graded courses). Grade points are assigned as follows. The grades of CR, NC, AU (audit), I, W, WB and RP (report in progress) receive no grade points and the units are not considered in computing grade point average. A plus (+) or minus (-) sign following a grade of A, B, C, or D will affect the grade points allowed as indicated in the table. A grade of A+ cannot exceed 4.0 grade points per California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Division 5, Chapter 1, SubChapter 2, Article 2, 40104. For undergraduate and postbaccalaureates, students must have earned at least twice as many grade points as there are units in the credit value of all letter-graded courses for which they have registered.

Excess Units
Enrollment limits for undergraduate students will be set on a semester by semester basis. Typically, at least 14 units will be allowed during Advance Registration. Additional units up to 21 may be approved for students with unusual programmatic needs or those completing remaining degree requirements. Petitions and information are available at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms.

Repetition of Courses
Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students (regular enrollment and Open University) may repeat courses only if they earned grades lower than a “C” (including “WU”, “IC”, and “NC”). Graduate students may repeat courses only if they earned grades lower than a “B” (including “WU”, “IC”, and “NC”). Repeating a course with an Incomplete (“I”) grade is not allowed; a grade must be assigned or the “I” must revert to an “IC” prior to repeating the course. The limits on course repetition apply only to units completed at SJSU. 1. Any student who is repeating a course (except if the grade for that course was “W”) is not permitted to register during Advance Registration and must register on a space available basis no earlier than the first day of classes. 2. Courses designated “Repeatable for Credit” may be repeated even though the original grade was “C” or better. 3. The policies regarding repetition of courses with Grade Forgiveness or Grade Averaging (as described below) apply only to courses taken and repeated at SJSU.

Unit of Credit
The unit of credit is the semester unit which is equal to one and one-half quarter units.

Change of Grade
The basic principle underlying changes of grade is that all students be treated fairly and be given equal opportunities to demonstrate their academic learning and earn course grades representing that learning. Application of this criterion precludes the assignment of extra credit unless such assignments were made known and available to all students in the class. It further precludes rejudgment, afterthought, or reconsideration of an individual’s graded work unless such opportunity for change of grade is made equally available to all students in the class. Unless a rejudgment, afterthought, or reconsideration is applied fairly and equally for all students in a class, a change of grade request may be submitted only when there is an error in grading an assignment or course component, or in the case of a clerical, computational, transcriptional, or other administrative error. The specific nature of the error shall be recorded on the form requesting the change of grade. Once approved, the original grade will be removed from the transcript and the new (changed) grade will replace it. A change of grade request must be submitted by the department office directly to the Office of the Registrar in a timely fashion. Normally, such requests must be received by the drop deadline of the following Spring or Fall semester and will require the signatures of the instructor and the department chair. Further extension of this deadline will be considered only when there is documentation of the student’s attempt(s) to contact both the instructor and the department chair, and the late submission of the change of grade form is clearly beyond the student’s control. A change of grade request received after the drop deadline of the following Spring or Fall semester and within one calendar year after the posting of the grade requires the signature of the appropriate college Associate Dean in addition to those of the instructor and the department chair. A change of grade request received more than one year after the posting of the grade will require, additionally, the approval of the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies or Graduate Studies and Research, as appropriate.

academic regu lation s

Grade Forgiveness
(Formerly known as “Academic Renewal”)
Course Repeats with “Grade Forgiveness” Formerly known as “Academic Renewal” at SJSU, Grade Forgiveness is the circumstance in which the new grade replaces the former grade in terms of the calculation of GPA. The original grade remains on the transcript. Effective Fall 2009, there is no need to petition for grade forgiveness. 1. Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students may repeat a maximum of 16 units of total Grade Forgiveness, consisting of a combination of up to 9 units (maximum) of lower division (numbered 0-99) course work, and up to 9 units (maximum) of upper division (numbered 100-199) course work. 2. Graduate (numbered 200-299) course work is not eligible for Grade Forgiveness. Graduate students are not eligible for Grade Forgiveness, but may repeat up to 9 units of upper division or graduate course work through Grade Averaging. 3. Grade Forgiveness will be assigned automatically for all eligible courses as soon as a student registers. Eligible courses include those courses with earned grades lower than a “C” (including “WU”, “IC”; but excluding “NC”). Once the pool of available units is insufficient for the next repeated course, unused units may be applied to a future course of lower unit value or simply left unused in the pool. If a repeated course is dropped prior to the Drop Deadline or a “W” is recorded for a repeated course, then the Grade Forgiveness units return to the pool of available lower division or upper division units, as appropriate. 4. To opt out of grade forgiveness: A student may petition to have a repeated course NOT be granted Grade Forgiveness. Such petitions must be submitted prior to the Census Date for the term in which the course is repeated. See www.sjsu.edu/ugs for instructions and forms. 5. Students may repeat an individual course for Grade Forgiveness only once. 6. Grade Forgiveness shall not be applicable to courses for which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty. Grade Forgiveness that results in a higher GPA will not remove a prior academic standing. Course Repeats with Grades Averaged 1. Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students may repeat a maximum of 28 units for graduation credit (including units repeated for Grade Forgiveness; excluding grades of “W”). After the pools of Grade Forgiveness units have been depleted or used to the fullest extent allowable, the repeat grade shall not replace the original grade. Instead grade points and units from all attempts shall be calculated in the student’s SJSU cumulative GPA and overall GPA. 2. Graduate students may repeat a maximum of 9 units of upper division or graduate course work for graduation credit. 3. Course repeats with Grades Averaged will be assigned automatically for all eligible courses as soon as a student registers. Once the pool of available units is insufficient for the next repeated course, unused units may be applied to a future course of lower unit value or simply left unused in the pool. If a repeated course is dropped prior to the Drop Deadline or a “W” is recorded for a repeated course, then the Grade Averaged units return to the pool of available units Students who (1) have repeated the maximum allowable units, (2) are otherwise making appropriate progress to degree, and (3) still need to repeat courses to fulfill specific major or minor requirements necessary for graduation may petition for an exception to the 28-unit limit. Undergraduate Studies and the Registrar’s Office will administer the petition process. Any course(s) approved for repeating by this petition process will be Grade Averaged. Transcript Calculation Repeating a course in which a “C” or better was received on the first attempt or for which previous credit was granted at another institution: While the units and grade points will appear on the transcript and the grade will be calculated into the grade point average, students should be aware that the units and grade points for the repeated courses cannot be counted for graduation credit. Such units and grade points for repeated courses will be subtracted when the student applies for graduation. Students should also keep track of these units and not count them twice for graduation purposes.

Verification of Unit Load
In verifying enrollments to the Veterans’ Administration, scholarship boards and loan agencies, the university reports the total number of units enrolled as the official unit load for an undergraduate. The definition of “full-time student” made by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), Veteran’s Administration and other agencies may vary. Students who are concerned with their status are urged to contact the specific agency involved to determine its policies. Full veterans’ subsistence payments require a course load of 12 weighted semester units for both graduate and undergraduate students. Graduate students from foreign countries who are in the U.S. on student visas must normally carry nine semester units to maintain full-time student status, while undergraduate international students must carry 12 semester units to maintain the required full-time status.

Requirements for admission to San José State University are in accordance with Title 5, Chapter 1, Subchapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations. Complete information is available at www. csumentor.edu/planning/. Electronic versions of the CSU undergraduate, graduate and international applications are accessible at www.csumentor.edu. The CSUMentor system allows students to browse through general information about CSU’s twenty-three campuses, view multimedia campus presentations, send and receive electronic responses to specific questions, and apply for admission and financial aid. Applying online via www.csumentor.edu is expected unless electronic submission is impossible. Application in “hard copy” form may be obtained online via www.csumentor.edu as a Portable Document Format (PDF). Importance of Filing Complete, Accurate and Authentic Application Documents San José State University advises prospective students that they must supply complete and accurate information on the application for admission, residence questionnaire, and financial aid forms. Further, applicants must, when requested, submit authentic and official transcripts of all previous academic work attempted. Failure to file complete, accurate, and authentic application documents may result in denial of admission, cancellation of registration or academic credit, suspension, or expulsion (Section 41301, Article 1.1, Title 5, California Code of Regulations).

Application Procedures-Undergraduate
Prospective students applying for part-time or full-time undergraduate programs of study in day or evening classes must file a complete undergraduate application. The $55 nonrefundable application fee should be in the form of a check or money order payable to “The California State University” or by credit card if submitting the online application, and may not be transferred or used to apply to another term. An alternate major may be indicated on the application. The applications of persons denied admission to an impacted and/or closed campus may be re-routed to another campus at no cost, but only if the applicant is CSU eligible.

Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)
Applicants who are low-income, and who would be the first generation in their family to earn a baccalaureate degree, are encouraged to apply online through CSU Mentor for consideration in the Educational Opportunity Program. For more information see www.csumentor.edu.

Hardship Petitions
The campus has established procedures for consideration of qualified applicants who would be faced with extreme hardship if not admitted. Petitioners should write the Admissions Office in care of the Exceptional Admission Committee. Students must also provide two letters of recommendation as well as a statement on their own behalf.

Health Screening
Measles Rubella, and Hepatitis B Immunizations Entering CSU students are required to present proof of Measles, Rubella, and Hepatitis B immunizations to the CSU campus they will be attending before the beginning of their first term of enrollment. Measles and Rubella: All new and readmitted students born after January 1, 1957 must provide proof of full immunization against Measles and Rubella prior to enrollment. Hepatitis B: All new students who will be 18 years of age or younger at the start of their first term at a CSU campus must provide proof of full immunization against Hepatitis B before enrolling. Full immunization against Hepatitis B consists of three timed doses of vaccine over a minimum 4 to 6 month period. Signed form regarding meningococcal disease Each incoming freshman who will be residing in on-campus housing will be required to return a form indicating that they have received information about meningococcal disease and the availability of a vaccination that can prevent contracting the disease. On the form, the new on-campus resident will also indicate whether or not he or she has chosen to receive the vaccination. The immunizations indicated above are not admission requirements, but shall be required of students as conditions of enrollment in the CSU. A campus is authorized to expand the Measles and Rubella immunization requirement to students born before January 1, 1957, or to require full immunization prior to enrollment without provision for conditional enrollment for certain groups who may have increased risk of exposure to these diseases. These groups include: students enrolled in nutrition and food science, nursing, occupational therapy and any practicum, student teaching or field work involving preschool-age or school-age children, or field work taking place in a hospital or health care setting. Students can obtain the necessary immunizations from their own provider or by scheduling an appointment with the Student Health Center, 408-924-6122.

Admission of Adult Students
As an alternative to regular admission criteria, an applicant who is twenty-five years of age or older may be considered for admission as an adult student if he or she meets all of the following conditions: 1. Possesses a high school diploma (or has established equivalence through either the General Educational Development or California High School Proficiency Examinations). 2. Has not been enrolled in college as a full-time student for more than one term during the past five years. 3. If there has been any college attendance in the last five years, has earned a C average or better in all college work attempted. Consideration will be based upon a judgment as to whether the applicant is as likely to succeed as a regularly admitted freshman or transfer student and will include an assessment of basic skills in the English language and mathematical computation. Note: admission is not guaranteed and is based on the overall campus enrollment capacity. For more information, consult the Admissions Office.

Admissions Application Acknowledgment-Undergraduates
On-time applicants may expect to receive an acknowledgment from the campuses to which they have applied within two to four weeks of filing the application. The notice may also include a request that applicants submit additional records necessary to evaluate academic qualifications. Applicants may be assured of admission if the evaluation of relevant qualifications indicates that applicants meet CSU admission requirements, and in the case of admission impaction, campus requirements for admission to an impacted program. Unless specific written approval/confirmation is received, an offer of admission is not transferable to another term or to another campus.

Immigration Requirements for Licensure
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193), also known as the Welfare Reform Act, includes provisions to eliminate eligibility for federal and state public benefits for certain categories of lawful immigrants as well as benefits for all illegal immigrants. Students who will require a professional or commercial license provided by a local, state, or federal government agency in order to engage in an occupation for which the CSU may be training them must meet the immigration requirements of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to achieve licensure. Information concerning the regulation these requirements are available from the Registrar’s Office, Student Services Center.

Admissions Notification-Undergraduates
The Office of Admissions normally begins sending acceptance letters to applicants beginning in February for admission to the fall semester and beginning in September for admission to the spring semester. Letters from departments or faculty do not constitute admission to the university. Applicants are not admitted as students in the regular session of the university until they have received an official letter of admission from the Office of Admissions. In addition to the official letter of admission, International student applicants for F-1 and J-1 status will be issued the appropriate form I-20 or DS-2019 for immigration processing.

Impacted Programs
The CSU designates programs as impacted when more applications from CSU regularly eligible students are received in the initial filing period (October and November for fall terms and August for spring terms) than can be accommodated. Some programs are impacted at every campus where they are offered; others are impacted only at some campuses. Candidates for admission must meet supplementary admission criteria if applying to an impacted program. The CSU will announce during the fall filing period those programs or campuses that are impacted and the supplementary criteria campuses will use. Systemwide impaction of admission may be announced, when unexpected circumstances necessitate a curtailment of admission to specific campuses. Detailed information on campus and program impaction is available at www.calstate.edu/impactioninfo.shtml and www.csumentor.edu. That announcement will also be published in official CSU publications distributed to high school and college counselors, and made available online at www.calstate.edu. Information about the supplementary criteria is also provided to program applicants. Applicants must file applications for admission to an impacted program during the initial filing period. Applicants who wish to be considered in impacted programs at more than one campus should file an application at each campus for which they seek admissions consideration.

SJSU accepts applications until capacities are reached. The campus limits undergraduate admission in an enrollment category because of overall enrollment limits. If applying after the initial filing period, consult http://info.sjsu.edu for current information. Similar information is conveniently available at www.csumentor.edu/filing_status/Default.asp

Supplementary Admission Criteria
Each campus with impacted programs uses supplementary admission criteria in screening applicants. Supplementary criteria may include rank-ordering of freshman applicants based on the CSU eligibility index or rank-ordering of transfer applicants based on the overall transfer grade point average, completion of specified prerequisite courses, and a combination of campus-developed criteria. Applicants for freshman admission to impacted campuses or programs are required to submit scores on either the SAT or the ACT. For fall admission, applicants should take tests as early as possible and no later than October of the preceding year. The supplementary admission criteria used by the individual campuses to screen applicants appear periodically in the CSU Review and are made available by the campuses to all applicants seeking admission to an impacted program. Details regarding the supplemental admissions criteria are also provided at www.calstate.edu/impactioninfo.shtml.

Admission – Undergraduate Requirements
Admission – Freshman Requirements
Generally, first-time freshman applicants will qualify for regular admission if they meet the following requirements: 1. Have graduated from high school, have earned a Certificate of General Education Development (GED) or have passed the California High School Proficiency Examination; – and – 2. Have a qualifiable minimum eligibility index (see section on Eligibility Index); – and – 3. Have completed with grades of C or better each of the courses in the comprehensive pattern of college preparatory subject requirements also known as the “a-g” pattern (see “Subject Requirements”).

Subject Requirements
The California State University requires that first-time freshman applicants complete, with grades of C or better, a comprehensive pattern of college preparatory study totaling 15 units. A “unit” is one year of study in high school.  2 years of social science, including 1 year of U.S. history, or U.S. history and government.  4 years of English  3 years of math (algebra, geometry and intermediate algebra).  2 years of laboratory science (1 biological and 1 physical, both with labs).  2 years in the same foreign language (subject to waiver for applicants demonstrating equivalent competence).  1 year of visual and performing arts: art, dance, drama/theater, or music.  1 year of electives: selected from English, advanced mathematics, social science, history, laboratory science, foreign language, and visual and performing arts or other courses approved and included on the UC/CSU “a-g” list.

Eligibility Index
The eligibility index is the combination of the high school grade point average and scores on either the ACT or the SAT. Grade point averages (GPA) are based on grades earned in courses taken during the final three years of high school. Included in calculation of GPA are grades earned in all college preparatory “a-g” subject requirements, and bonus points for approved honors courses. Up to eight semesters of honors courses taken in the last three years of high school, including up to two approved courses taken in the tenth grade can be accepted. Each unit of A in an honors course will receive a total of 5 points; B, 4 points; and C, 3 points. A CSU Eligibility Index (EI) can be calculated by multiplying a grade point average by 800 and adding your total score on the mathematics and critical reading scores of the SAT. Students who took the ACT, multiply your the grade point average by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score. Persons who are California high school graduates (or residents of California for tuition purposes) need a minimum index of 2900 using the SAT or 694 using the ACT. The Eligibility Index Table illustrates several combinations of required test scores and averages. For admission to terms during the 2009-2010 college year, the university has no current plans to include the writing scores from either of the admissions tests in the computation of the CSU Eligibility Index. Persons who neither graduated from a California high school nor are a resident of California for tuition purposes, need a minimum index of 3502 (SAT) or 842 (ACT). Graduates of secondary schools in foreign countries must be judged to have academic preparation and abilities equivalent to applicants eligible under this section. An applicant with a grade point average of 3.00 or above (3.61 for nonresidents) is not required to submit test scores. However, all applicants for admission are urged to take the SAT or ACT and provide the scores of such tests to each CSU to which they seek admission. Campuses use these test results for advising and placement purposes and may require them for admission to impacted majors or programs. Impacted CSU campuses require SAT or ACT scores of all applicants for freshman admission.

High School Students Step to College/Unitrack
Students still enrolled in high school will be considered for enrollment in certain special programs if recommended by the principal and the appropriate campus department chair and if preparation is equivalent to that required of eligible California high school graduates. Such admission is only for a given specific program and does not constitute a right to continued enrollment.

Subject Requirement Substitution for Students with Disabilities
All applicants are encouraged to complete the 15 units of college preparatory subjects. If you are unable to complete certain subjects because of your disability, call the Disability Resource Center at 408-924-6000.

Admission – Transfer Requirements
Students who have completed fewer than 60 transferable semester college units (fewer than 90 quarter units) are considered lower division transfer students. Students who have completed 60 or more transferable semester college units (90 or more quarter units) are considered upper division transfer students. Students who complete college units during high school or through the summer immediately following high school graduation are considered first-time freshmen and must meet those admission requirements. Transferable courses are those designated for baccalaureate credit by the college or university offering the courses and accepted as such by the campus to which the applicant seeks admission.

Transfer Policies of CSU Campuses
Authority for decisions regarding the transfer of undergraduate credits is delegated to each California State University (CSU) campus. Most commonly, college level credits earned from an institution of higher education accredited by a regional accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education is accepted for transfer to campuses of the CSU. General education requirements are the same for all CSU campuses, so California community college articulations of general education of general education courses (about one third of degree requirements) are handled centrally and may be accessed at www.assist.org. Campuses may enter into articulation agreements on either a course for course or program to program basis. Such articulations are common between CSU campuses and any or all of the California community colleges, but may exist between CSU campuses and other institutions. Established CSU/CCC articulations may be found on www.assist.org. No more than 70 semester units may be transferred to a CSU campus from an institution which does not offer bachelor’s degrees or their equivalents, e.g., community colleges. Given the university’s 30-unit residency requirement, no more than 90 total units may be transferred into the university from all sources.

Provisional Admission – Freshmen
San José State University may provisionally admit first-time freshman applicants based on their academic preparation through the junior year of high school and planned for the senior year. The campus will monitor the final two years of study to ensure that admitted students complete their secondary school studies satisfactorily, including the required college preparatory subjects, and graduate from high school. Students are required to submit an official transcript after graduation to certify that all course work has been satisfactorily completed. Official high school transcripts must be received prior to deadline set by the university. In no case may documentation of high school graduation be received any later than the census date for a student’s first term of CSU enrollment. A campus may rescind admission decisions, cancel financial aid awards, withdraw housing contracts and cancel any university registration for students who are found not to be eligible after the final transcript has been evaluated. Applicants will qualify for regular (non-provisional) admission when the university verifies that they have graduated and received a diploma from high school, have a qualifiable minimum eligibility index, have completed the comprehensive pattern of college preparatory “a-g” subjects, and, if applying to an impacted program or campus, have met all supplementary criteria.

Making Up Missing College Preparatory Subject Requirements
Lower division applicants who did not complete subject requirements while in high school may make up missing subjects in any of the following ways: 1. Complete appropriate courses with a C or better in adult school or high school summer sessions. 2. Complete appropriate college courses with a C or better. One college course of at least three semester or four quarter units will be considered equivalent to one year of high school study. 3. Earn acceptable scores on specified examinations, e.g., SAT subject tests. Please consult with any CSU Admissions Office for further information about alternative ways to satisfy the subject requirements. Due to enrollment pressures, many CSU campuses do not admit or enroll lower division transfer students.

U N I V E R S I T Y

Provisional Admission for Transfers
San José State University may provisionally or conditionally admit transfer applicants based on their academic preparation and courses planned for completion. The campus will monitor the final terms to ensure that those admitted complete all required courses satisfactorily. All accepted applicants are required to submit an official transcript of all college level work completed. Campuses may rescind admission for any student who is found not to be eligible after the final transcript has been evaluated. In no case may such documents be received and validated by the university any later than a student’s registration for their second term of CSU enrollment.

Admission – International Students
International Student Admission
The CSU must assess the academic preparation of foreign students. For this purpose, “foreign students” include those who hold U.S. temporary visas as students, exchange visitors, or in other nonimmigrant classifications. The CSU uses separate requirements and application filing dates in the admission of “foreign students.” Verification of English proficiency (see the section on TOEFL Requirement for undergraduate applicants), financial resources, and academic performance are each important considerations for admission. Academic records from foreign institutions must be on file by the posted deadlines and, if not in English, must be accompanied by certified English translations. Priority in admission is given to residents of California. There is little likelihood of nonresident applicants, including international students, being admitted either to impacted majors or to those with limited openings. International students applying from outside the U.S. should request admission information at least one year in advance of the planned date of attendance. International undergraduate and graduate applications and other information are located at www.csumentor.edu.

Test Requirements
SAT and ACT
Freshman and transfer applicants who have fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable college credit are strongly encouraged to submit scores, unless exempt (see “Eligibility Index” section), from either the ACT or the SAT of the College Board. Persons who apply to an impacted program may be required to submit test scores and should take the test no later than Novmeber or December. Test scores also are used for advising and placement purposes. SJSU requires SAT or ACT scores from all freshman applicants. Tests must be taken by the November examination date. Registration forms and dates for the SAT or ACT are available from school or college counselors or from a CSU campus testing office. Or students may write to or call: The College Board (SAT) Registration Unit, Box 6200,Princeton, New Jersey 08541-6200 609-771-7588 www.collegeboard.org ACT Registration Unit P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240 319-337-1270 www.act.org

Insurance Requirement
Effective August 1, 1995, as a condition of receiving an I-20 or DS-2019 form, all F-1 and J-1 visa applicants must agree to obtain and maintain health insurance as a condition of registration and continued enrollment in the California State University. Such insurance must be in amounts as specified by the United States State Department and San José State University. The campus president or designee shall determine which insurance policies meet these criteria. Further information may be obtained from International Programs and Services, Administration, CL 543.

Systemwide Placement Test Requirements
The California State University requires that each entering undergraduate, except those who qualify for an exemption, take the CSU Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) examination and the CSU English Placement Test (EPT) and have scores available prior to enrollment. These placement tests are not a condition for admission to the CSU, but they are a condition of enrollment. These examinations are designed to identify entering students who may need additional support in acquiring college entry-level English and mathematics skills necessary to succeed in CSU baccalaureate-level courses. Undergraduate students who do not demonstrate college-level skills both in English and in mathematics will be placed in appropriate remedial programs and activities during the first term of their enrollment. Students placed in remedial programs in either English or mathematics must complete all remediation in their first year of enrollment. Failure to complete remediation by the end of the first year may result in denial of enrollment for future terms. Students register for the EPT and/or ELM at their local CSU campus. Questions about test dates and registration materials may be addressed to the Testing Office, IS 228, https://testing.sjsu.edu, 408-924-5980

English-Language Proficiency Exam Requirement
All applicants who have not attended schools full time at the secondary level or above for at least three years where English is the principal language of instruction must pass an English-language proficiency exam. Undergraduates and graduates may take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the Pearson Test of English (PTE), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Engineering majors of all class levels require a higher score than the allowable undergraduate minimum of 500 on the paper form of the TOEFL.

English Placement Test (EPT)
The CSU English Placement Test (EPT) is designed to assess the level of reading and writing skills of entering undergraduate students so that they can be placed in appropriate baccalaureate-level courses. The CSU EPT must be completed by all entering undergraduates, with the exception of those who present proof of one of the following: • A score of “Exempt” on the augmented English CST, i.e. the CSU Early Assessment Program (EAP), taken in grade 11 as part of the California Standards Test. • A score of 550 or above on the verbal section of the College Board SAT Reasoning Test taken April 1995 or later. • A score of 660 or above on the writing section of the College Board SAT Reasoning Test • A score of 24 or above on the enhanced ACT English Test taken October 1989 or later. • A score of 680 or above on the re-centered and adjusted College Board SAT II: Writing Test taken May 1998 or later. • A score of 660 on the writing portion of the SAT Reasoning Test. • A score of 3, 4, or 5 on either the Language and Composition or the Composition and Literature examination of the College Board Scholastic Advanced Placement program. • Completion and transfer of a course that satisfies the General Education-Breadth or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) written communication requirement, provided such course was completed with a grade of C or better. • For detailed information on test dates and requirements, refer to http://info.sjsu.edu/home/schedules.html.

The Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) Placement Examination is designed to assess the skill levels of entering CSU students in the areas of mathematics typically covered in three years of rigorous college preparatory courses in high school (Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry). The CSU ELM must be completed by all entering undergraduates with the exception of those who present proof of one of the following: • A score of “Exempt” on the augmented mathematics California Standards Test, i.e., the CSU Early Assessment Program (EAP), taken in grade 11. • A score of “conditionally exempt” on the augmented CST, i.e. the CSU Early Assessment Program (EAP) plus successful completion of a Senior-Year Mathematics Experience (SYME) • A score of 550 or above on the mathematics section of the College Board SAT or on the College Board SAT Subject Tests-Mathematics Tests Level I, IC (Calculator), II, or IIC (Calculator). • A score of 23 or above on the ACT Mathematics Test. • A score of 3 or above on the College Board Advanced Placement Calculus examination (AB or BC) or Statistics examination. • Completion and transfer of a course that satisfies the General Education-Breadth or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) quantitative reasoning requirement provided such course was completed with a grade of C or better. For detailed information on test dates, fees and other requirements, refer to the SJSU Schedule of Classes (http://info.sjsu.edu/home/ schedules.html).

Writing Skills Test
A satisfactory score on the Writing Skills Test (WST) is required prior to enrollment in Written Communication II (100W courses) and all SJSU Studies (advanced general education, Areas R, S, and V) courses. To make timely progress to their degree, students should register for, and take, the first available WST they can after passing English 001A and 001B (or equivalents). Consult the SJSU Schedule of Classes for the most current information about the WST. The following students do not need to take the WST to enroll in any classes: 1. Students who have completed the Graduate Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) at another CSU campus as a matriculated student at the time of completion; 2. Students who have earned a baccalaureate degree from a CSU campus; 3. Students who have received an approved Undergraduate Requirement Request to grant equivalency to an upper division composition course completed at another university. SJSU may offer a course in Special Session that satisfies the WST. Check the class schedule for details each semester.

Waiver of Requirements
A satisfactory score on one or more of the following tests will result in a waiver of the requirement, but no unit credit will be awarded. Information on all waiver examinations is available in the Testing Office. There is a test fee associated with some of these exams. American Institutions Three different waiver examinations (giving no unit credit) are available in the Testing Office to challenge the U.S. History, U.S. Constitution and California Government General Education requirement (Area F1, F2 and F3). These tests are administered through the Social Sciences Challenge Examination. Critical Thinking A waiver examination (giving no unit credit) is available in the Testing Office to challenge the Critical Thinking General Education requirement (Area A3). The Critical Thinking Examination is under the Social Sciences Challenge Examination. Students excused from this requirement by successful completion of this exam must take additional units in Areas B, C, D, E in General Education to reach a total of 39 units. Written Communication II Students achieving a waiver-level score on the Writing Skills Test are eligible to waive the requirement, only if their major accepts such a waiver. Consult the schedule of classes for a list of majors which do not accept the waiver.

Advanced Standing by Examination
Advanced standing by examination permits accelerated progress toward the degree and a wider selection of course work. Advanced standing by examination is divided into three categories: 1. Advanced placement by examination (no unit credit awarded); 2. Waiver of requirements (no unit credit awarded); and 3. Advanced credit by examination.

Course Placement by Examination
See the SJSU Schedule of Classes and respective departments for details about all placement examinations. Calculus Many students wishing to take calculus courses must take the Calculus Placement Exam prior to registering. See www.math.sjsu.edu/~calculus/ for details. Foreign Language Placement examinations in French, German and Spanish are recommended for those students who studied language in high school or acquired language skills through life experiences. Students having completed college level foreign language (at SJSU or elsewhere) generally will not take the placement examination but will enroll in the course for which they qualify on the basis of units completed. Music All new and transfer music majors, including graduate students and returning former students, must report to the School of Music and Dance for auditions, advising and placement examinations. Music majors and minors must also audition for a major ensemble before completing registration. Specific details about these auditions are found in the SJSU Schedule of Classes.

S A N J O S E S T A T E

Challenge Examinations
Students may challenge courses by taking examinations developed at SJSU. Credit shall be awarded to those who pass them successfully. Regularly enrolled students may earn credit in courses in which the student appears to be qualified by training or experience. Courses for which credit by special examination may be earned are determined by the appropriate department. Course credit by examination will not be allowed in a course in which the student has received a failing grade or in which the student has unsuccessfully sought credit by examination. Credit by Examination is not available to Graduate Students or to students enrolling in 100W courses.

Transcript Requirements
Transcript Submission
All transcripts submitted must be official and sent directly from the originating school or college to the Office of Admissions. Transcripts submitted by the student are not acceptable unless submitted in a sealed envelope. All records submitted become the property of the university, part of the student’s file, and will not be released. If a student does not complete the application or enroll, the records will be kept on file for one year only. Undergraduate students with college transfer work who are accepted for admission, and who desire advising, will be required to present a set of college transcripts to their departmental advisor. It is suggested that you order a set of transcripts for yourself at the same time you order transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions.

Transfer Credit
Agreements with Other Colleges and Universities
SJSU has extensive articulation with many colleges and universities in California. Course-to-course articulation agreements identify courses of comparable content for major and minor requirements for undergraduate degree programs at SJSU. The articulation agreement assures students that the approved transfer courses on the transfer campus will be accepted “in lieu of” the comparable SJSU courses. Information about the courses for each campus that SJSU has agreements with can be found at our comprehensive on-line transfer planning site: http://transfer. sjsu.edu.

Credit from Other Colleges and Universities
California Community Colleges will certify to The California State University those courses which are of baccalaureate level and therefore transferable for at least elective credit. Credits earned in accredited community colleges will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions in accordance with Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 40409: A maximum of 70 semester units earned in a community college may be applied toward the degree, with the following limitations: (a) No upper division credit may be allowed for courses taken in a community college. (b) No credit may be allowed for professional courses in education taken in a community college, other than an introduction to education course. Credits earned in regionally accredited colleges will be evaluated by the Office of Admissions and advanced standing allowed on the basis of the evidence submitted. Credit toward the fulfillment of graduation requirements will be allowed only insofar as the courses satisfactorily completed meet the standards and the requirements of the basic course pattern of the college. Credits earned in non-accredited colleges may be accepted as a basis for advanced standing only to the extent that the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the university that a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been attained in the course in question. For details on transferring graduate credits from other institutions, see section on Graduate Admission Procedures and Policies.

High School Students
Students applying for admission to the university while still attending high school may be evaluated on their self-reported application information. A final high school transcript with the date of graduation must be sent to the Office of Admissions at the time of graduation.

Undergraduate Transfer Applicants
Transfer applicants who have completed 60 or more semester units of transferable credits and who are applying to the university need not file the high school transcript. However, applicants are cautioned that if, during the evaluation process, it is determined that fewer than 60 semester units of transferable credit have been earned, processing will stop and the application will be withdrawn. All undergraduate applicants must file one official transcript from each college in which they have enrolled. This includes USAFI, the Defense Language Institute, Special Sessions (Winter Session and Professional Development), correspondence and audited courses, as well as any college in which the student was enrolled and withdrew without earning credit. Former students need not order transcripts of work completed at SJSU whether this work was accomplished in the regular session, Open University, Special Sessions, or through the university Professional Development Program. Similarly, they need not reorder transcripts that were previously forwarded to this university. But if they did college work in the interim, such transcripts must be filed with their papers. Students absent from the university for a period of seven years or longer must resubmit all documents required for admission.

Credit by Examination
Standardized Exams SJSU grants credit toward its undergraduate degrees for successful completion of various standardized exams. The following are the guidelines for the credit that may be granted at SJSU for each standardized exam. Students may not earn duplicate credit by examination if they have previously taken or subsequently take equivalent exams or course work. Credit by Examination Students may challenge courses by taking examinations developed at SJSU. Credit shall be awarded to those who pass them successfully. Students may not earn credit by exam, however, if they have previously taken or subsequently take equivalent course work. Specific details may be obtained from the Student Services Center.

Postbaccalaureate Applicants
Applicants to postbaccalaureate and credential programs are required to file one official transcript from each and every college in which they have enrolled. Transcripts must be sent directly from the originating institution to the Office of Admissions. Transcripts submitted by the student are not acceptable unless submitted in a sealed envelope. All college work must be reported. Failure to comply with this requirement may void the student’s application.

Correspondence Courses
The university does not offer and rarely accepts credit for correspondence (home study) courses.

Open University
San José State University’s Open University program permits enrollment by nonmatriculated students in specified regular curriculum classes on a space-available basis. Formal admission to the university is not required. Registration is confirmed at the first class meeting. A maximum of 24 semester units may be applied toward bachelor degree and not more than six units for a 30-unit master degree requirements. Units earned in Open University may not be used to meet residence unit requirements for a degree. Regular (matriculated) students in good standing may not enroll as Open University students. Matriculated students are those who have been admitted to San José State University as a regular student for the current semester or were registered as a matriculated student in the previous semester and who have not graduated. Disqualified students who seek reinstatement following disqualification must see their advisor to develop a plan to meet the required GPA standard for readmission to the university. International Students International students must be regular full-time matriculated students admitted to a degree program. Enrollment in Open University does not qualify international students for the immigration document necessary to enter the United States, to transfer to SJSU from another U.S. university, or to maintain their legal F-1 status. Disqualified international students are eligible to enroll through Open University but must transfer to another I-20 issuing institution to maintain their F-1 student status, or apply for reinstatement to F-1 student status from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services after being re-admitted to SJSU. Winter Session Both matriculated and non-matriculated students may enroll in this session. Credit earned may be applied to residence unit requirements for previously matriculated students, and is not subject to the 24-unit limitation in applying toward bachelor’s degree requirements at SJSU.

Alternative Enrollment Programs
Intrasystem and Intersystem Enrollment Programs
Students enrolled at any CSU campus will have access to courses at other CSU campuses on a space available basis unless those campuses or programs are impacted or admission to the desired program or admission categories are closed. This access is offered without students being required to be admitted formally to the host campus and sometimes without paying additional fees. Although courses taken on any CSU campus will transfer to the student’s home CSU campus as elective credit, students should consult their home campus academic advisors to determine how such courses may apply to their specific degree programs before enrolling at the host campus. There are two programs for enrollment within the CSU and one for enrollment between CSU and the University of California or California Community Colleges. Additional information about these programs is available from the Registrar’s Office. CSU Concurrent Enrollment Matriculated students in good standing may enroll on a space available basis at both their home CSU campus and a host CSU campus during the same term. Credit earned at the host campus is reported at the student’s request to the home campus to be included on the student’s transcript at the home campus. CSU Visitor Enrollment Matriculated students in good standing enrolled at one CSU campus may enroll on a space available basis at another CSU campus for one term. Credit earned at the host campus is reported at the student’s request to the home campus to be included on the student’s transcript at the home campus. Intersystem Cross Enrollment Matriculated CSU, UC, or community college undergraduate students may enroll on a space available basis for one course per term at another CSU, UC, or community college and request that a transcript of record be sent to the home campus. This program is not available to graduate students.

General Education Program
What is the General Education Program?
A university brings together many separate areas of learning, yet it is more than just a collection of specialized disciplines. The SJSU General Education Program incorporates the development of skills, the acquisition of knowledge, and the integration of knowledge through the study of facts, issues, and ideas. Regardless of major, all who earn undergraduate degrees should share common educational experiences, as they become university scholars. In combination with major, minor, and elective courses, the General Education curriculum should help students attain those attributes found in an educated person. General Education Program Objectives Students who complete the General Education curriculum should be able to demonstrate: • a broad understanding of the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts; • an ability to communicate ideas effectively both in speaking and in writing; • the capacity for critical and creative thinking; • an understanding of ethical choices inherent in human development; • an ability to assess information (information literacy); • an ability to address complex issues and problems using disciplined analytic skills and creative techniques; • multi-cultural and global perspectives gained through intellectual and social exchange with people of diverse backgrounds and experiences; • the characteristics of “intentional learners” who can adapt to new environments, integrate knowledge from different sources, and continue learning throughout their lifetimes; and • the capacity to participate as a socially responsible member of civic, professional, cultural, and other communities. The advancement of academic discourse requires civility and a respectful attitude toward all in the expression and consideration of a variety of viewpoints. All courses shall reinforce the ethical responsibility of students and instructors to acknowledge respectfully the learning styles and forms of expression of individuals and members of all groups

General Education Policies
1. All students must complete 51 units of approved GE courses with letter grades. If a requirement is waived without unit credit, additional approved GE courses must be taken to complete a minimum of 48 GE units. 2. All three areas described below must be completed by all students: Core GE (39 units), SJSU Studies (12 units) and American Institutions (0-6 units). 3.

Advising and Orientation
In arranging their program each semester, students should follow carefully the outlines of their curricula which are shown in this catalog or are available in the student’s major department. Students are urged to consult an advisor in their major department when planning their program of study and selecting courses. Students should bring unofficial transcript records of all previous college level work, exams, etc. to their advising sessions. Students are asked to print out and review the Degree Audit Report posted on their MySJSU accounts. Students majoring in the College of Science, College of Engineering and in the Department of Occupational Therapy must be seen by a major advisor prior to registering every semester. Students who do not have a declared major objective (Undeclared) should go to Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. All students who need help with General Education requirements should see their major advisor who may refer them to Academic Advising and Retention Services. It is highly recommended for students to see advisors prior to registration each semester. All new undergraduates are required to attend an orientation session for information about university requirements, placement in first-semester courses and registration procedures. In order to register for subsequent semesters, all new students, including Undeclared majors, must see an advisor before the end of their first year. If they do not receive advising, a negative service indicator (hold) may be placed on their records preventing them from registering for classes for the third semester. As students attain junior status, they should have prepared a preliminary major and minor form, in consultation with the major advisor. Major and minor requirements are approved by the chairs of the appropriate departments. Forms are available in department offices.

The International Programs and Services Office presents a required program for new international students that serves as a check-in for immigration procedures and an introduction to study in the U.S. and SJSU.

advisin g an d orien tation

Transfer Orientation
Transfer Orientation is a mandatory one-day program that welcomes new transfers to the campus and includes an introduction to the Colleges and provides critical academic planning information.

Pre-Professional Study
Several sources of information and assistance are available for students who plan to enter the professions of art administration, dentistry, medicine, law, pharmacy, optometry, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, social work and theology. General information, including names and locations of faculty members who have been designated as “preprofessional” advisors, may be obtained from the appropriate academic department office. Interested students should also contact the university of their choice for information regarding the professional prerequisites for that institution. Consultants are available at the Career Center to discuss possible career paths. Application forms for admissions tests to law school, medical school and dental school are available in the Testing Office. Student associations in pre-law, pre-medicine and pre-dentistry conduct active programs which include information about admission to professional schools, test preparation and seminars/workshops in the profession.

Pre-Law Programs
Students planning to attend law school and pursue careers in law should be aware that no major has a special advantage in preparing them to compete on the Law School Admission Test or for admission into even the most prestigious law schools. The American Bar Association emphasizes this point in its publication Law as a Career: “An undergraduate should be aware that there is no particular course of study that is required or preferred by law schools. Accordingly, students from a wide variety of majors (e.g., philosophy, physics, political science, engineering, and business) are admitted to law schools each year. There is no true prelaw curriculum. Generally, a broad-based education that is rigorous and that stresses analytical and verbal communication skills will be useful.” Students with undergraduate degrees in the humanities and the arts as well as the social, health, and natural sciences are consistently successful in achieving competitive scores on the LSAT and in obtaining admission to law schools of distinction. However, students should keep in mind that successful pursuit of a career in law depends on skills acquired only through particular kinds of courses. The Law School Admission Council’s Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools explains: “While no single curricular path is the ideal preparation for law school, you should choose courses that sharpen analytical reasoning and writing skills. Law schools prefer students who can think, read, and write well, and who have some understanding of what shapes human experience.” Students considering careers in law should consult regularly with a pre-law faculty advisor. The number and kind of courses that prepare students for law can be offered by a variety of departments. It is therefore important that students consult with a faculty member familiar with the curricular choices that best align student aspirations with law school expectations. A faculty advisor can also provide valuable information concerning law school and law careers that will not be acquired through any set of courses. The following departments offer pre-law advising: Justice Studies, Philosophy, Political Science. A further resource for students considering a career in law is the Law School Advisor provided by Student Services.

Change of Major/Degree Objective
Students who wish to change their degree major objectives should obtain a change of major form at www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms/index. htm. The form requires the approval and signatures of the appropriate university official(s). The completed form must be returned to Academic Advising and Retention Services. Upon further review and approval by AARS, the forms are processed and filed with the Registrar’s Office. The change of major is not official until the approved form is on file with the Registrar’s Office. This form may also be used to move from undeclared to a major; declare a second major, or change a minor. Change of undergraduate major and minor forms are downloadable from www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms/index.htm. For graduate change of major, see www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies. Change of major is not guaranteed.

S A N J O S E S T A T E

Exploratory Course
Students who have not decided upon a major, are encouraged to avail themselves of the following course designed to aid them in assessing their abilities and goals and in formulating a decision in their ultimate choice of a major. EDCO 004. Personal, Academic and Career Exploration Concepts and applications of personal decision-making. Introduction to life-span human development concepts through the use of selfassessment instruments and procedures. Orientation to San José State University. 3 units.

Orientation
Orientation is an important first step to help new students learn to navigate SJSU, register for classes, and make the connections they need to be successful! These mandatory programs assist new students with making the transition to college. Orientation is delivered collaboratively by two SJSU departments, Academic Advising and Retention Services and Student Involvement. These departments work with new students at Orientation and beyond by utilizing student leaders who are trained in issues of transition. At the program, professional staff advise students about required General Education courses, major courses, and prerequisites. Orientation staff who are knowledgeable about the campus will guide students and parents/guardians through experiences that educate them about campus programs and services.

Degree Requirements – Undergraduate
Candidates for graduation with a baccalaureate degree must satisfy the regulations described in this section, and those outlined by the major department. The Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees are offered with majors in the several fields listed under Curricula Offered. In addition to the BA and the BS, the Bachelor of Music (BM), the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), the Bachelor of Nursing (BN) and the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degrees are also offered. Specific requirements for degrees in each field are outlined in the departmental sections of this catalog. All candidates for graduation must satisfy the general regulations described on the following pages in this section, as well as those outlined by the major department.

Graduation Requirement in Writing Proficiency
All students must demonstrate competency in writing skills as a requirement for graduation. Information on currently available ways to meet this graduation requirement is listed in the SJSU Schedule of Classes. SJSU students satisfy this requirement by completing the Writing Skills Test followed by a 100W Writing Workshop course. A satisfactory score on the Writing Skills Test (WST) is required either to waive or to enroll in the 100W course designated by the major. Majors which require the 100W as part of the major, however, do not accept the waiver. Information on currently available ways to meet this graduation requirement may be obtained from the Testing Office, the current SJSU Schedule of Classes and the Student Services Center. Graduate students should refer to the section on Competency in Written English.

Academic Requirements
An overall average of “C” (2.0) or better, a “C” average or better earned in all units taken at the university, and a “C” average or better in both the major and the minor (if applicable) are required for graduation with a baccalaureate degree. Candidates for teaching credentials must have a total average of better than “C” (see Approval of Candidacy for Teacher Education).

Double Major
If a student has completed the requirements for two or more majors leading to the same baccalaureate degree for the same graduation application period, those majors shall be acknowledged on a single diploma and on their transcripts. If a student has completed the requirements for two or more majors leading to different baccalaureate degrees for the same graduation application period, both degrees and majors shall be acknowledged on a single diploma and on their transcripts. Each major or formal concentration, not including courses in preparation for or in support of the major, must consist of at least 36 units for Bachelor of Science degree majors, or at least 24 units for Bachelor of Arts degree majors, units that are completely separate and distinct from the other degree or formal concentration. The university has the right to restrict students from pursuing double majors, particularly when resources must be equitably distributed among all students.

Additional Graduation Requirements
All requirements listed here may be met either by passing waiver examinations, where available, or by course work. Students should note that success in a waiver examination satisfies a requirement but does not yield unit credit. For information about the examinations, see the Testing Office or call 408-924-5980. Courses which satisfy the requirements are listed under “General Education Requirements and Courses” in the schedule of classes, with the exception of Physical Education activity courses.

American Institutions Requirement
U.S. History, U.S. Constitution, California State and Local Government. State law requires all students graduating from a CSU campus to demonstrate knowledge of these three areas, also referred to as the American Institutions and Ideals, the Title 5, or the “state code” requirement. Students may complete waiver exams or course work to satisfy the requirements. Consult the “General Education Requirements and Courses” section in the SJSU Schedule of Classes for approved courses or the Testing Office for information about the waiver examinations. Students should consult an advisor to determine which of the various course combinations are best for their degree objectives.

Minors
A minor may be required or recommended at the option of the major department. A student may also elect to complete a minor. The minimum criterion for any minor must be 12 units of course work completely distinct and separate from the course work in one’s major. However, courses in preparation for or in support of the major may be included in the minor. Of the courses taken for a baccalaureate minor, 6 units must be upper division; for a teaching credential minor, 12 units must be upper division or graduate. If a minor is completed after a degree has been granted, the minor is not recorded on the student’s permanent record.

Physical Education Requirement
It is important that all students, regardless of major, have an opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills in physical activities. To accommodate the needs and interests of SJSU students, the Department of Kinesiology offers a diverse selection of activity courses which have the following goals: • To provide a fundamental understanding of the influence physical activity has on physical and mental well-being; • To promote development of a repertoire of skills for constructive leisure activity and a physically active lifestyle important to maintaining health; • To provide an understanding of the guidelines for developing and maintaining physical fitness throughout the lifespan; • To provide exposure to a variety of lifetime fitness activities and sports; and • To enhance the student’s liberal arts education and develop a wellrounded individual. All students must complete two units of physical education from two different Kinesiology/Dance activity courses. To challenge the requirement, students must consult the Department of Kinesiology at least one semester prior to graduation. Kinesiology and Dance activity courses are not repeatable for credit. In addition, only one Intercollegiate Athletics course may be used to fulfill one unit of the physical education graduation requirement.

Continuous Attendance and Election of Graduation Requirements
Undergraduate students remaining in attendance in regular sessions at any California State University campus, at any California community college, or any combination of California community colleges and campuses of The California State University may, for purposes of meeting graduation requirements, elect to meet the requirements in effect at the campus from which they will graduate either: 1. at the time the student began such attendance, – or – 2. at the time of entrance to the campus, or 3. at the time of graduation. Continuous attendance is defined as enrollment in at least one semester or two quarters in each calendar year. Absence related to an approved educational leave or for attendance at another accredited institution of higher learning is not considered an interruption, providing the absence does not exceed two years. Campus authorities may authorize or require substitutions for discontinued courses and may also require students changing their major or any minor field of study to complete the major or minor requirements in effect at the time of the change. Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment will be held to any new requirements approved by the university at the time of their readmission.

degree requ iremen ts – u n d e r g r a d u a t e

Residence Requirements
For all bachelor’s degrees, including second baccalaureates, a minimum of 30 units shall be earned in residence after matriculation at the campus granting the degree. Twenty-four of these units shall be earned in upper division courses, 12 of the units shall be in the major and 9 units shall be in General Education. Extension credit or credit by evaluation shall not be used to fulfill any of the 30 units. Winter Session for previously matriculated students earns residence credit; Open University units are not applicable toward the residence requirement.

Special Major
The Special Major is an individually designed, interdisciplinary course of study leading to a BA or BS degree when academic or professional aims are not adequately met by existing degree programs. It is not to be used to bypass normal graduation requirements nor to substitute for a major in which a student is having academic difficulty. The proposed course of study must be a coherent program organized around a sound academic theme. Students who complete a Special Major shall be able to demonstrate: “the ability to analyze an issue or problem, integrating at least two disciplinary perspectives.” In addition, students identify two or more student learning outcomes related to their specific areas of study in consultation with a major faculty advisor. They demonstrate their attainment of the learning outcomes through a portfolio completed in a capstone course. Applicants must have both a cumulative and SJSU GPA of at least 2.75 and have at least one full year of academic work still to be completed to meet minimum degree requirements. Special Majors are considered on a case-by-case basis. Approval is based on the academic merit of the proposed course of study, the applicant’s proposed rationale and potential for successful completion of the program, and the ability of the university to support the proposed program. Students apply for consideration for the Special Major through the Office of Undergraduate Studies, ADM 159.

Graduate Credit for Units Completed as a Graduating Senior
Seniors at San José State University may petition through their major departments to receive graduate credit for units completed in their final undergraduate semester, provided the following conditions are met: 1. No more than 14 semester units are needed to complete a baccalaureate degree at San José State University. 2. None of the courses to be taken for graduate credit is required for the bachelor’s degree. 3. The student has at least a 2.5 grade point average in all course work in upper division standing completed at San José State University. 4. The student agrees to enroll for no more than the maximum load of 15 units for the term in which this work is taken. 5. The student has completed the graduation application check in Evaluations, Student Services Center. 6. The student agrees not to take letter-graded courses for CR/NC when graduate credit is requested. 7. If admitted to a graduate degree program, the student agrees that a maximum of six units of graduate credit earned through this process may be applied toward the master’s degree when approved by the appropriate program authority. “Upper division work” for this purpose is defined as all units after the semester in which the student completes 60 units; however, only work taken at San José State University is used in computing the grade point average. These units and grade points will not be included in the student’s cumulative grade point average after admission to the Graduate Division. These policies also apply to students in second baccalaureate status. No courses taken while a student is in second baccalaureate status shall be awarded graduate credit unless the student is within fourteen semester units of qualifying for award of the second baccalaureate degree and meets the criteria specified above (including enrollment in all units required for completion of the second baccalaureate degree). Petitions regarding this matter must: (1) be in writing (form available in Graduate Studies and Research); (2) bear endorsement by the departmental graduate advisor; (3) state the number, title and units of each course to be considered for graduate credit; and (4) be filed in Graduate Studies and Research and acted upon at the beginning of the term in which the units concerned will be earned.

Limits on Graduation Requirements in the Undergraduate Major
Time Limit Courses taken to meet degree requirements at San José State University are subject to a time limitation of 10 years. Students are required to meet those requirements in the major in effect no earlier than 10 years prior to receiving the degree. Students with an unusual problem may petition the major department chair for a waiver of the 10-year requirement. Graduate students should refer to the section on Seven-Year Time Limit on Courses for Graduate Degree Program. Facilitating Graduation Effective Spring 2010, any undergraduate or graduate student will be precluded from enrolling in any additional state-supported courses when that student has already met all necessary requirements for the degree for which that student is matriculated. Moreover, students who have met all requirements for graduation prior to any semester in which they are enrolled will be permitted to drop all courses for which they are registered, with little or no penalty, and to graduate at the next available date. Students who have earned more than enough units to graduate but have some remaining requirements to complete, will be advised and precluded from registering in any courses other than those required for a timely graduation.

S A N J O S E S T A T E

Unit Requirements
A minimum of 120 semester units of credit must be earned for graduation with the baccalaureate degree. Up to 140 units for engineering curricula and up to 132 units for all other Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Music degree programs may be required. Normally, no more than four units of Individual Studies (180) and/or Directed Reading (184) may count for the baccalaureate degree. Exceptions must have approval from the major department.

Second or Additional Baccalaureate Degree
The second or additional baccalaureate degree will be awarded when the student has filed for graduation with Academic Advsiing and Retention Services and when all major requirements for the degree have been met and a graduation check determines that all university requirements have been satisfied. To be eligible for the degree, students must complete all course work which constitutes the second or additional degree in at least two additional semesters with a minimum of 30 units of work beyond the first degree in accordance with the minimum residence requirement. Second or additional baccalaureate degree candidates must meet the academic regulations required of all undergraduate students, including the residency requirement (30 units in residence, 24 of which must be upper division, 12 in the major and 9-12 in SJSU Studies). Course work completed in the second or additional baccalaureate degree status will be classified as undergraduate work. Students cannot pursue a graduate degree objective and a second or additional baccalaureate degree at the same time at the university.

U N I V E R S I T Y

Upper Division Requirements
At least 40 of the total units required for graduation with the bachelor’s degree must be upper division. For the BA, a minimum of 12 units of upper division credit in the major is required and for the BS, a minimum of 18 units of upper division credit in the major is required. Upper division credit will be allowed by the university and applied toward the baccalaureate degree only for SJSU courses numbered 100 or above and for courses from other universities clearly designated as junior or senior level courses.

Disqualification and Probation – Undergraduate & Postbaccalaureate
Unless otherwise noted, postbaccalaureate (second baccalaureate) students follow the same policies and procedures as upper division undergraduates.

Academic Probation
An undergraduate student is placed on academic probation if the SJSU cumulative grade point average falls below a “C” average (2.0). Students will remain on academic probation until they obtain clearance of probation or are disqualified. All work taken through Extended Studies is included in the cumulative record and is considered in the determination of probation and disqualification. Students are removed from probation and restored to clear standing when they earn a cumulative grade point of at least “C” (2.0) in all academic work attempted at SJSU.

Academic Standards
Students studying for a baccalaureate degree are expected to maintain a grade point average of 2.0 “C” or better in their academic work at SJSU and in their overall collegiate record in order to continue in good standing. In determining a student’s eligibility to remain enrolled in the university, both quality of performance and progress toward the student’s objective are weighed. Use of grade points and grade point average for all letter-graded courses determines quality of performance. The length of time in meeting requirements is a factor in determining progress toward objectives. While the Registrar’s Office makes every effort to notify students of their academic status, it is the student’s responsibility to continuously monitor his or her own academic standing at http://my.sjsu.edu.

Academic Progress in Developmental Courses
Effective Fall 1998, the California State University Executive Order 665 requires that first-year and lower division transfer students who are placed into remedial courses as a result of their ELM/EPT scores are required to enroll in and attend the prescribed course(s) as a condition of their enrollment in other courses. In addition to the mandatory placement, these students must satisfactorily complete their remedial course work within a prescribed amount of time. Students who fail to do so are placed on a leave of absence and are subject to administrative disqualification from the university. San José State University is not able to support a second semester of remediation for students who do not pass their fall remedial course. If this is the case, the student is expected to complete their requirement through a community college or other recommended institution. See www.math.sjsu.edu/~Mcclory for complete information on the EO 665 policies and practices.

Academic Disqualification
Disqualification means that the student has failed to maintain satisfactory academic progress and is involuntarily separated from the university. Disqualified students are not eligible to attend classes as matriculated students, but they may register through Extended Studies for Open University courses. See “Extended Studies and Open University” elsewhere in this catalog for additional information. Undergraduate students are disqualified when, after being on probation or continued probation, they drop below a specified SJSU GPA in all units attempted. For the specific class levels these are: Senior or Postbaccalaureate .1.95 Junior ...................................1.85 Sophomore...........................1.70 Freshman .............................1.50 Undergraduate students are eligible to repeat a limited number of courses with grades of C-, D+, D, D-, F, NC, U, WU, or IC through SJSU’s Open University. Graduate students should see the section on University Disqualification in the graduate portion of this catalog. All work taken through Extended Studies is included in the cumulative record and is considered in the determination of probation and disqualification. The Registrar’s Office will notify any student who, according to the university’s records, appears to be disqualified. These students will be disenrolled and their registrations cancelled unless they are reinstated to the university. Note: Failure to notify students does not create the right of a student to continue enrollment. See section on Reinstatement. Academic disqualification policies revised in Spring 2009.

Administrative-Academic Disqualification
A student who has been placed on administrative-academic probation may be disqualified from further attendance if: 1. The conditions for removal of administrative-academic probation are not met within the period specified; 2. The student becomes subject to academic probation while on administrative-academic probation; 3. The student becomes subject to administrative-academic probation for the same or similar reason for which he or she has been placed on administrative-academic probation previously, although not currently in such status. When such action is taken, the student will receive written notification, including an explanation of the basis for the action. In addition, an appropriate campus administrator may disqualify a student who at any time during enrollment has demonstrated behavior so contrary to the standards of the profession for which the student is preparing as to render him/her unfit for the profession. In such cases, disqualification will occur immediately upon notice to the student, which shall include an explanation of the basis for the action, and the campus may require the student to discontinue enrollment as of the date of the notification.

Academic Disqualification of Students not on Probation
The president may designate a campus official to act to disqualify an individual not on probation when the following circumstances exist: • At the end of any term, the student has a cumulative grade point average below 1.0, — and — • The cumulative grade point average is so low that in view of the student’s overall educational record, it seems unlikely that the deficiency will be removed within a reasonable period, as defined by campus academic policy.

disqu alification an d proba t i o n

Administrative–Academic Probation
A student may be placed on administrative-academic probation by action of the Provost for any of the following reasons: 1. Withdrawal from all or a substantial portion of a program of studies in two successive terms or in any three terms. A student whose withdrawal is directly associated with a chronic or recurring disability or its treatment is not subject to administrative-academic probation for such withdrawal. 2. Repeated failure to progress toward the stated degree or other program objective, including that resulting from assignment of 15 units of NC, when such failure appears to be due to circumstances within the student’s control. 3. Failure to comply, after due notice, with an academic requirement or regulation which is routine for all students or a defined group of students (examples: failure to complete a required CSU or campus examination, failure to complete a required practicum, failure to comply with professional standards appropriate to the field of study, failure to complete a specified number of units as a condition for receiving student financial aid or making satisfactory progress in the academic program). When such action is taken, the student will be notified in writing and provided with the conditions for removal from probation and the circumstances which would lead to disqualification, should probation not be removed.

Disqualification in the Major
Each college, school, program and/or department has the option of employing the disqualification-from-the-major policy. Those which opt to disqualify from the major will disqualify all students who are below a 2.0 grade point average for all units in the major at SJSU and have achieved less than a 2.0 grade point average in the major in two successive semesters. Students disqualified under this policy will be notified by the department, school or college that the major will be changed to undeclared unless another major for which they are qualified is selected. Extenuating circumstances will be acted upon by an appropriate faculty committee at the school or department level or, when appropriate, the college level. Impacted programs are those most likely to have policies for disqualification in the major, but even non-impacted programs may have such policies. The Office of Undergraduate Studies will maintain current information about disqualification in the major.

Categories for Reinstatement 1. SJSU cumulative GPA 2.0 or better. This category is for disqualified students who have attended SJSU through Open University and brought their SJSU cumulative GPA up to 2.0 or better. Raising the GPA to 2.0 or better does not guarantee that a department will approve the petition. Many departments place restrictions on reinstatement to their major degree programs. Please consult with your major advisor(s) as early as possible. 2. Extenuating Circumstances. Reinstatements in this category will only be granted for serious and compelling reasons that were clearly beyond a student’s control. Generally, all acceptable extenuating circumstances fall into one of the following eight categories: administrative error, employment, military, natural disaster, death of immediate family member, personal health or serious family illness, divorce, or ersonal/other (rarely approved). The following are not valid reasons for reinstatement under this category: Poor academic performance, non-attendance, change of major, or lack of prerequisite(s). In addition to the required documentation of extenuation, approvals will require demonstration that poor performance in a particular semester was atypical. 3. Special Consideration. This category is reserved for students whose petitions cannot be accommodated within the other categories. Typically, such students have spent substantial time away from SJSU since their disqualification (five years or more) and feel that their life experiences have prepared them for a successful return to school. 4. Petitioned Grade Change. This category is reserved for changes of grade approved under Section III (Grade Appeal) and Section IV (Change of Grade) of University Policy S09-7 (www.sjsu.edu/ senate/S09-7.htm). If you are petitioning under this category, you must clearly explain which course grade was changed, when it was changed, and the reason for the change. 5. Program of Study. This is a contract between the student and his/her advisor (and Associate Dean who has the final signature). The program of study should consist of coursework designed to address the academic weakness(es) that led to the disqualification. The coursework must satisfy degree requirements for the (intended) major. Courses taken for Grade Forgiveness (via Open University) are encouraged. All courses listed on the program of study must be passed with a “B” or better (GPA of 3.0) to earn reinstatement. Deadlines and other details may be found on the petition form. Reinstatement Petition Deadlines and Processing 1. Petitions for Reinstatement are accepted and evaluated on an ongoing basis (except for the program of study). Allow at least fifteen business days for processing after submitting the completed petition form to the Registrar’s Office. You may petition under more than one category, but if you do so, your personal statement and documentation must support each category you have selected.

Reinstatement and Readmission of Undergraduate Students After Academic Disqualification
Reinstatement is a different process from readmission. Readmission of a disqualified student is not possible unless reinstatement has been approved, but students must note that reinstatement is not a guarantee of readmission. There may even be some situations in which reinstatement is sought with no intention of reapplying to SJSU, such as for admission to another institution or program. In most situations, students will need to apply for readmission prior to being reinstated. All returning students must submit an application for admission to SJSU. Reapply for the next available term at www. csumentor.edu by the published deadline. If you miss the deadline for your desired term, you will need to submit an application for the next available term. The major listed on your application must match the major on the Petition for Reinstatement. If the majors differ, the major listed on your application will be changed to reflect the major listed on the Petition for Reinstatement.

Special Scholastic Regulations for Extended Studies
Disqualified students may enroll in Extended Studies programs; however, the university, in considering applications for readmission and reinstatement, does not accept 400-series course credit as evidence of qualification for reinstatement. Students desiring to apply extension credit toward the requirements for any degree or teachers’ credentials must secure approval from the department that is authorizing the reinstatement. All students enrolling through Extended Studies must meet course prerequisites and are bound by all applicable university regulations given in this catalog, or in the most recent Winter Session or Open University schedule of classes. Information concerning tuition fees, admission and registration policies and procedures, withdrawal and refund policies, grading systems, academic standards and student advisement may be found in one or more of these publications. Regulations concerning the application of Extended Studies credit toward bachelor’s degrees and toward residence credit in the university are given elsewhere in this catalog under “Credit Transferred from Extended Studies”.

Graduate Information
Admission Procedures – Graduate
All graduate applicants (e.g., EdD, master’s degree applicants, those seeking educational credentials, and holders of baccalaureate degrees interested in taking courses for personal or professional growth through regular or special session but not through Open University) must file a complete graduate application as described in the graduate admission materials at www.csumentor.edu. Applicants who completed undergraduate degree requirements and graduated the preceding term are also required to complete and submit an application and the $55 nonrefundable application fee. Since applicants for graduate programs are limited to the choice of a single campus on each application, rerouting to alternate campuses or later changes of campus choice are not guaranteed. To be assured of initial consideration by more than one campus, it is necessary to submit separate applications (including fees) to each. Applications submitted by way of www.csumentor.edu are expected unless submission of an electronic application is impossible. An electronic version of the CSU graduate application is available at www.csumentor.edu.

candidacy and for graduation requirements. Credit is awarded for transferred courses of all category, but grade points are not included in the cumulative GPA; therefore, the cumulative grade-point-average (GPA) calculation will not include those units nor will the GPA calculation for advancement to candidacy or graduation.

Who Must Apply For Graduate Admission?
Anyone who has never attended San José State University must apply for admission to the university and to the department housing the program in which he or she is interested. After formal admission, the applicant must enroll in classes in the term of admission to preserve the matriculation status. Former students who have previously attended SJSU as undergraduate or postbaccalaureate students and have had a break of two or more semesters in their enrollment (not counting summer session) must file for readmission. A graduate of SJSU, whether returning after an absence or continuing immediately after receiving a baccalaureate or master’s degree, must also apply for admission. Change of Major or Degree Objective Currently enrolled master’s or credential students who wish to change major or degree objective, such as a concentration within a major or M.A. vs. M.S. objective, must submit the Application for a Change of Graduate Major form available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms.

Transcript Policy – Graduate
Transcripts submitted for admission purposes must be official and sent directly from the originating school or college to Graduate Admissions & Program Evaluations (GAPE), San Jose State University, One Washington Square, San Jose, CA 95192-0017. Unofficial transcripts submitted via the student are not acceptable for this purpose. Records submitted become the property of the university and will not be released to the student. If a student does not fully complete an application and enroll, the records will be kept on file for about one year and then destroyed. Graduate applicants must file with GAPE one official transcript from each accredited institution attended. Some departments may also require applicants to file additional transcripts with their graduate advisor. Program requirements are located on departmental websites, which can be accessed by clicking on the program name at www.sjsu.edu/gape/ graduate_programs/index.htm. Individuals currently enrolled in courses at the time of their application for admission are required to complete the “Report of Work in Progress” section of the admission application by recording the department course number, course title, and units attempted and to file an official transcript of the work when it is completed.

Admission – Prospective Graduate Students
Students intending to pursue graduate work at San José State University may obtain pertinent information from a variety of sources. Careful reading of several publications will save time and prevent many difficulties that often arise due to lack of information. Publications recommended are: (a) SJSU Catalog – the all-inclusive catalog of regulations and courses offered in the university, (b) SJSU Schedule of Classes – lists the times of all courses and gives specific information concerning registration, (c) various departmental publications available from department offices and advisors, and (d) websites at www.sjsu.edu/gape and www.sjsu.edu/ gradstudies. The prospective student may also wish to consult an academic advisor. Persons assigned responsibility for advising students in specific graduate programs are listed in various sections of this catalog.

Admission Requirements – Graduate
Graduate applicants may apply for a degree objective, a credential or certificate objective. Depending on the objective, the CSU will consider an application for admission as follows: General Requirements – The minimum requirements for admission to graduate studies at a California State University campus are in accordance with university regulations as well as Title 5, Chapter 1, Subchapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations. Specifically, a student shall at the time of enrollment: (1) have completed a four-year college course of study and hold an acceptable baccalaureate degree from an institution accredited by a regional accrediting association, or shall have completed equivalent academic preparation as determined by appropriate campus authorities; (2) be in good academic standing at the last college or university attended; (3) have attained a grade point average of at least 2.5 (A=4.0) in the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted or have earned a grade point average of at least 2.5 on the last degree completed by the candidate; and (4) satisfactorily have met the professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards for graduate study, including qualifying examinations, as appropriate campus authorities may prescribe. In unusual circumstances, a campus may make exceptions to these criteria. Students who meet the minimum requirements for graduate studies may be considered for admission in one of the four following categories: • Credential program – Persons wishing to enroll in a credential or certificate program will be required to satisfy additional professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards, including qualifying examinations, prescribed by the campus; or • Graduate Conditionally Classified. Applicants may be admitted to a graduate degree program in this category if, in the opinion of appropriate campus authority, deficiencies may be remedied by additional preparation; or

Transferring Graduate Credits from Other Institutions
Students who have completed course work at other accredited colleges or universities may be eligible to apply credit toward master’s degree requirements at SJSU. To be transferable, the course work must not have been in professional development courses but must have been at the upper-division or graduate level, taken within seven years of the award of the degree from SJSU, and, if taken prior to applying for admission into the graduate school at SJSU, listed on the SJSU application. Not less than 80% of course work required for the master’s degree must be completed in residence. Therefore, for example, a maximum of 6 units can be transferred into a 30-unit graduate program. This total includes all transferred classes, including those from Open University and the SJSU undergraduate career. Additional transfer units are allowed under some circumstances by petitioning the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies & Research. Transfer work from another university may be applied toward the degree program if it is approved by the graduate advisor and was in courses that were accepted by that university’s degree programs. The courses can include extension courses and correspondence courses provided the conditions above prevail. Courses transferred from other universities may not be revalidated if they go beyond the seven-year deadline. For university approval of transfer units up the 20% limit for nonresidency units, the courses are entered on the Petition for Advancement to Graduate Candidacy in the SJSU Extension or Transfer Course section. The signature of the graduate advisor on this candidacy form is sufficient to indicate departmental approval of the courses without additional forms. If the courses meet all of the requirements stipulated above, the university will accept the courses for advancement to

• Graduate Classified. To pursue a graduate degree, applicants are required to fulfill all of the professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards, including qualifying examinations, prescribed by the campus. These and other CSU admissions requirements are subject to change as policies are revised and laws are amended. The CSU website www. calstate.edu and the CSU admissions portal www.csumentor.edu are good sources of the most up-to-date information.

Advancement to Candidacy – Graduate
Matriculated graduate students must advance to candidacy a minimum of one semester prior to graduating. Advancement to candidacy requires that the student be in good standing (a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in upper-division and graduate courses taken while in graduate status) and be classified with all admissions’ provisions and program conditions cleared. Also required is a minimum of 9 units of graded course work as a graduate student in 100 – or 200-level courses that are acceptable to the department in which the degree is sought. Exceptions to this policy can be made for two-semester master’s programs. University policy also stipulates the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement for English-language competency be fulfilled before advancement to candidacy. However, the “candidacy form,” formally entitled the Petition for Advancement to Graduate Candidacy (available at www.sjsu.edu/ gape/forms), may be filed during the semester in which a GWARsatisfying course is taken. Advancement to candidacy will be formally denied during the semester, but the form will be kept on file by the office of Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations (GAPE) and approved when a passing grade is posted at the end of the semester.

Admission Requirements – Graduate International Students
The CSU must assess the academic preparation of foreign students. For this purpose, “foreign students” include those who hold U.S. visas as students, exchange visitors, or in other nonimmigrant classifications. The CSU uses separate requirements and application filing dates in the admission of foreign students. Verification of English proficiency (see the section English-Language Proficieny Exam Requirement), financial resources, and academic performance are all important considerations for admission. Academic records from foreign institutions must be on file by the stated deadlines for the first term and, if not in English, must be accompanied by certified English translations. See www.sjsu.edu/gape/ prospective_students/index.htm and click on admission deadlines. Priority in admission is given to residents of California. There is little likelihood of nonresident applicants, including international students, being admitted either to impacted majors or to those majors or programs with limited openings.

Graduate Degree Program
As indicated above, the Petition for Advancement to Graduate Candidacy (“candidacy form”) is submitted to GAPE when the student is qualified to advance to candidacy. This form lists all courses and culminating experiences that must be fulfilled for degree award. The proposed program must meet the following requirements: • demonstration of competency in written English. See section on Competency in Written English/Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement for further explanation. • statement of the total number of units in the degree program. • at least half of the units included on the form must be in 200-level courses. • at least 60% of all units included must be in letter-graded course work. • at least 80% of the units included must in be residence at SJSU. Therefore, a maximum of 6 units may be transferred into a 30-unit program from another university. • transfer of units from courses approved by the graduate advisor, as indicated by the signature of the advisor on the candidacy form, is limited by university policy to 20% of the total units in the degree program, i.e., 6 units in a 30-unit program. The courses may be graduate courses taken as an undergraduate at SJSU that are requirements of the graduate program and were not used to satisfy requirements for the bachelor’s degree (and therefore were not on the student’s undergraduate major form). They may be SJSU Open University upper-division or graduate courses, or they may be courses taken at other accredited institutions, whether through a regular session, extension, or correspondence; in the case of extension or correspondence courses, the graduate advisor must petition the AVP or Associate Dean of Graduate Studies & Research (GS&R) on behalf of the student and provide documentation that the courses are approved for degree credit at that institution. All courses transferred from another university must be verified by official transcripts sent to GAPE from that university at the time of transfer; failure to provide transcripts will result in a denial of advancement to candidacy and/or award of degree. Whereas SJSU policy restricts the total number of transfer units from all sources, except previous graduate degree programs or double majors, Title 5 allows for transfer of 30% of the degree program unit total; inclusion of the additional units must be supported in writing by the graduate advisor and requires the approval of the AVP or Associate Dean of GS&R. Note that an exception has been granted students either currently enrolled in a credential program or having already completed one to allow 12 units to be transferred to a master’s degree program. Units from courses taken at other institutions or through Open University after a first denial of admission to the university and before receipt of an acceptance for a second admission attempt cannot be used for transfer credit.

Admission Tests: Graduate Applicants
Test Requirements
New graduate students enrolling at SJSU who matriculate with graduate degree objectives may be required to take one or more parts of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Students with graduate objectives in Business (MBA, MSTax, MSAcct, MSTmMgt) are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Some departments may require a locally developed qualification examination in their subject matter areas. Test requirements can be viewed at www.sjsu.edu/gape/ prospective_students/test_requirements/index.htm and on graduate program web pages. Applications and information about dates of administration for the GRE and GMAT are available in the Testing Office.

English Language Proficiency Requirement – Graduate Applicants
All graduate applicants, regardless of citizenship, whose native language is not English and whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English must demonstrate competence in English. Those who do not possess a bachelor’s degree from a postsecondary institution where English is the principal language of instruction must demonstrate English language proficiency by meeting the minimum score of one of the following exams. Some programs require a higher score. SJSU’s Office of Graduate Studies & Research interprets “where English is the principal language of instruction” to mean that the undergraduate institution is located in a country in which English is the official language (the daily medium of communication of the majority of residents) and that the students receive academic instruction in all subjects (except foreign language courses) at all levels of education in English. Therefore, letters attesting to English as the principal medium of instruction will not be accepted.

The course work included may be entirely within the major department, or it may include a combination of courses drawn from other fields acceptable to the major advisor, so long as it is within the parameters set by the department in the program descriptions in this catalog. If deficiencies in the student’s record are identified, including in prerequisites for required courses, additional course work can be assigned by the major advisor. This course work would not appear on the candidacy form and would not be counted in the total number of units required for the degree. Letter-graded courses from previous graduate degree programs may be included up to a total of one third of the current degree total (i.e., 10 units in a 30-unit program) if approved by the graduate advisor, but the residence requirement above must still be met. Course work that may not be applied to the graduate degree includes basic skills’ courses such as lower-division work, directed (student) teaching, or 300-level residence or 400-level Extended Studies courses taken at SJSU. Graduate credit by examination is not permitted. No more than 6 semester units of combined credit for project or thesis research (usually 298 courses) and thesis preparation (299 courses) may be included on the candidacy form. There is no restriction in the number of these units attempted. However, students completing a thesis must include at least one 299 unit on the form, and the total number must be commensurate with program requirements. The original copy of the completed, signed Petition for Advancement to Graduate Candidacy should be submitted to GAPE in the Student Services Center by the deadlines posted at http://www.sjsu.edu/gape/ current_students/deadlines/index.htm. The student will be informed by letter of approval or denial of the petition.

Graduate Academic Standards
Eligibility
To determine a student’s standing, whether “good,” probationary, or disqualified, quality of performance and progress toward degree completion are considered based on units attempted, grade points earned, and grade point average (GPA). Grade points are assigned as follows: A, A+ ........................4.0 A- .............................3.7 B+ ............................3.3 B ..............................3.0 B- .............................2.7 C+ ............................2.3 C ..............................2.0 C- .............................1.7 ................................... D+ ........................... 1.3 D ............................. 1.0 D- ............................ 0.7 F .............................. 0.0 WU .......................... 0.0 I ............................... 0.0 IC ............................ 0.0 RD ........................... 0.0 RP ........................... 0.0

The cumulative GPA is obtained by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of graded units attempted. Courses for which the symbols CR, NC, RP, I, WU, and RD have been assigned do not enter into the GPA computation. Also usually excluded are lowerdivision courses and transfer courses.

Graduate Work in SJSU Special Session and Open University
Special session classes are offered on a selective basis off campus, via different delivery modes, or by schedules different from the regular session term. Matriculation is required for some but not all special sessions’ courses. Credit earned in 100-level, 200-level, or 300-level special session courses at SJSU is entered on the matriculated graduate student’s record as graduate credit, provided the student holds an acceptable baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution at the time of enrollment in the courses. A matriculated graduate student may seek the approval of the program’s graduate advisor to use the units toward a graduate degree (100-level or 200-level only), credential (300level), or certificate. Courses taken through special session may receive residence credit. Switching into regular session, even temporarily, requires approval of a formal program change (Application for a Change of Graduate Major form). Simultaneous enrollment in special and regular sessions requires a special exemption from the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies & Research. Non-matriculated students who enroll only for special session or Open University courses are reminded that they must apply for admission to the university and graduate program and complete other details of matriculation if they wish to obtain a degree or credential from SJSU. Open University, often known elsewhere as extension, is set up primarily as a device for members of the surrounding community to take college courses. It is also attended by non-matriculated postbaccalaureate students who hope to gain future admission to one of the SJSU graduate programs or who wish to take classes to prepare for a professional degree program, such as medicine. It can also be part of the program-of-study mechanism by which scholastically disqualified SJSU graduate students can gain reinstatement to the graduate school (see section on Reinstatement following University Disqualification). Enrollment in Open University courses is governed by specific policies, as follows: • Fees differ from those in regular and special sessions. • Open University enrollment in a given class is permitted only with instructor’s approval and only after reasonable efforts are made to provide full enrollment opportunities to regularly matriculated students. • Matriculated students may not take Open University courses. • Open University course enrollment in 200-level courses is ordinarily open to holders of baccalaureate degrees who meet course prerequisite requirements, although exceptions can be made with instructor’s consent. Neither disqualified students nor those who were denied admission into a graduate program at SJSU are permitted to enroll in 200-level courses. • Open University courses do not qualify for residence credit toward a master’s degree, as specified by Title 5. • Upper-division (100-level) and graduate (200-level) Open University units up to 20% of the degree program total and taken prior to matriculation may be applied to a master’s degree program with the consent of the program’s graduate advisor. Note that these units

Interdisciplinary Studies Major – Graduate
The MA or MS Interdisciplinary Studies program provides an alternative for graduate students whose desired plan of study does not fit any of the existing graduate degree programs available on this campus. For details, see the Interdisciplinary Studies section in this catalog.

Changes in Graduate Degree Program Course Work
The candidacy form, once approved, is an official contract between the student and university. It can be changed only with the permission of the graduate advisor via written petition. Course substitutions can be made by submission to GAPE of the Request for Course Substitution in Master’s Degree Program, available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. A course may not be dropped from the graduate degree program, as indicated by its appearance on an approved candidacy form, once it has been completed.

Changes in Graduate Objectives
Official changes in graduate objectives are to be initiated at GAPE. If the change in objective is from one graduate program to another or from a credential program to a master’s program, the Application for a Change of Graduate Major form should be completed. There is no fee for this change so long as the student was enrolled the semester prior to the application term. The student should become knowledgeable of any additional admission requirements of the department being entered. Changes from postbaccalaureate to graduate standing require completion of the CSU graduate admission application on CSUMentor followed by processing through both university and department admission criteria. A $55 application fee is charged for processing.

Change within a Graduate Degree Major
Notification of a change from conditionally classified to classified status within the same graduate program is made to GAPE by the graduate advisor by means of the Change in Classification in Master’s Program form, available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. Graduate students must be in classified status in the graduate program before advancing to candidacy.

are considered to be transfer units into the master’s program, and the allowable total of all transfer units is 20%, with the exception of transfers from credential programs into master’s programs (12 units). Under special circumstances, the graduate advisor can petition the Associate Dean or AVP of Graduate Studies & Research on behalf of the student for an additional 10% transfer credit. Upper-division courses taken as part of a program of study for reinstatement after disqualification may be applied to the graduate program if they were already present on the student’s candidacy form or were otherwise approved by the graduate advisor. Open University courses or courses from other institutions that were taken after a first denial of admission to the university and before receipt of an acceptance for a second admission attempt are not eligible for transfer credit. Open University courses taken in the postbaccalaureate career (before matriculation and enrollment in the semester admitted) are not counted in the cumulative GPA, even when they are later transferred into the graduate program. Those taken in the Graduate Open University career are counted toward cumulative GPA. For further information concerning special session or Open University offerings and policies, inquire at International and Extended Studies, 210 North Fourth Street, Suite 301, call 408-924-2670, or http://ies. sjsu.edu.

policy also applies to students who leave the university after having registered for classes but who do not officially withdraw. The courses will be assigned a grade of “WU” (denotes failure for unauthorized drop or withdrawal). No personnel actions, grades, or transcript services will be permitted until all financial obligations, such as unpaid fines, have been settled. If the student fails to return the semester immediately following withdrawal, reapplication for admission will be necessary at www. csumentor.edu. The exception to this policy is for students who file for a formal leave of absence for medical reasons, military leave, or for departmentsanctioned educational opportunities. See the description of the options and regulations governing leaves in this catalog. Repeating Courses Taken as a Graduate Student Academic Senate policy, F08-2, on course repetition is expected to go into effect for graduate students in the Fall 2010 semester. Until that point, the current grading policies remain in effect. A graduate student may repeat a 100-level or 200-level course in which a grade below a “C,” including an “NC,” was received in the first attempt. The student should register through normal procedures. The student’s academic record will indicate the course repeated and the grade earned. Units attempted and grade points will be included in the student’s cumulative GPA; therefore, the course grades will effectively be averaged. For grades of “C-,” “D+,” “D,” or “D-,” the student will not earn additional units by repeating the course; the units will be counted when repeating courses after earning an “F.” Graduate students and 200-level courses are not eligible for “grade forgiveness.” Courses can be repeated when they have gone beyond the sevenyear time period for completion of master’s degree requirements. See the section, Seven-Year Time Limit on Courses in Graduate Degree Programs. Some courses, although carrying the same number from term to term, are designed to have significantly unique content and may be repeated for credit if the individual course description in the catalog allows it.

Graduate Probation
1. Academic Probation – Graduate
Credential candidates must consult with their credential advisor for the grade point average (GPA) at which academic probation is imposed. Graduate students enrolled in a degree program are subject to academic probation if the cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 (grade of “B” on a 4.0-point scale) in all units attempted subsequent to matriculation into the degree program in either conditionally classified or classified status. Courses taken at the lower-division level will be listed on the transcript but cannot be used for graduate degree credit and are not included in the GPA computation. Courses taken through SJSU Open University before matriculation will also be listed on the transcript and may be, with advisor consent on the candidacy form, used toward the graduate degree if adhering to the transfer course limitation and residency requirement; however, they will not be figured into the GPA for either advancement to candidacy or graduation. Similarly, courses transferred into the graduate program from other institutions will not count in the GPA computation. Each semester while on probation, the student must achieve better than but not equal to 3.0 in the semester’s work to avoid academic disqualification. The student remains on continued probation as long as each individual semester’s work is above the 3.0 threshold but the overall GPA is still below 3.0. Probation is cleared if the GPA rises to 3.0 or better in any subsequent semester.

University Disqualification – Graduate
1. Academic Disqualification
A graduate student who is on academic probation is disqualified if he or she fails to earn better than a 3.0 grade point average each term until the required 3.0 grade point average is again established. This requires enrollment in at least one letter-graded course in each term that the student is on probation.

S A N

2. Administrative – Academic Disqualification
Upon notice by the coordinator of the graduate program in which a student has been placed on administrative-academic probation, the student may be disqualified from further attendance by the Associate Dean or AVP of Graduate Studies & Research if any of the conditions below occur: a. the conditions for removal of administrative-academic probation have not been met within the period specified, b. the student becomes subject to academic probation while on administrative-academic probation, c. the student becomes subject to administrative-academic probation for reasons similar to those for which he or she was originally placed on probation, whether or not currently in that status. Whether being previously put on probation or not, a student may be administratively academically disqualified for behavior contrary to the standards of the profession for which the student is preparing if it is renders him or her unfit for the profession. Disqualification is immediate upon notice to the student, which will include an explanation for the action, and enrollment is discontinued. Administrative-academic disqualification is from a particular program. As with academic disqualification, reinstatement and readmission are necessary for continuation at the university. It is conceivable, however, that a student could apply for and be admitted into a different program on campus. SJSU does not allow an “unclassified” status, and thus a student must be admitted into some program to register for courses at the university, other than through Open University.

J O S E S T A T E

2. Administrative-Academic Probation – Graduate
Regardless of the cumulative GPA, administrative-academic probation or disqualification can be imposed by the Associate Dean or AVP of Graduate Studies & Research for the following reasons: a. withdrawal from all courses in two successive semesters or in any three semesters, whether by formal withdrawal processes or from failure to attend but not including authorized leaves of absence, b. failure to make satisfactory progress toward the graduate objective, c. failure to comply, after due notice, with an academic program requirement or regulation that is routine for all students or a defined group of students within the program, including failure to meet conditions of admission or as stipulated in the conditionally classified status. Notice of the specific reasons for administrative-academic probation is provided in writing to the office of Graduate Studies & Research by the coordinator of the graduate program. In turn, the student is notified in writing by the Associate Dean of the probationary status, the means for its removal, and the circumstances that would lead to disqualification.

Appeal of University Probation or Disqualification
Students may appeal their probation or disqualification by petitioning the Academic Disqualification and Reinstatement Review Committee. The student should begin the appeal process by consulting with the graduate advisor. The advisor should report the meeting and make a recommendation to the Committee. The appeal should contain an explanation of extenuating circumstances that led to the action. The student must present documentation, for example, physician’s letters, police reports, and/or transcripts, that the circumstances were beyond his or her control, that they disrupted previously satisfactory scholastic performance, and that they no longer affect the student’s academic work. For disqualifications, a Petition for Reinstatement is required. The Admissions and Standards Committee will in turn make a recommendation to the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies & Research to confirm or rescind the probation or disqualification.

the program of study via submission of the Graduate Petition for Reinstatement. Also precluded from the program of study are extension courses taken at another university, 300-level or 400-level courses taken through SJSU Extended Studies, and lower-division courses. The program of study must include work applicable to the major. If the student plans to pursue a different degree program upon readmission to the university, the program of study must be applicable to the new major, be developed in conjunction with the graduate advisor of the new major, and demonstrate the student’s capacity to complete the new graduate degree requirements. Once the program of study has been completed such that the student earns a minimum grade point average of 3.3 (“B+”), he or she will be reinstated and, after reapplication to the university, readmitted to the university and department. Reinstatement is not allowed for a second disqualification. Unless extenuating circumstances can be cited that result in rescinding the second disqualification, a Petition for Reinstatement will not be accepted from students who have been disqualified more than once. Unless the disqualification is rescinded as above, reinstated students must apply to the university and department for readmission. Reapplication via www.csumentor.edu can be done during the semester in which the program of study is underway or in which the reinstatement petition is being considered. The application will be placed on hold at Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations until a decision on the petition is made or until the program-of-study grades are posted. Under most circumstances, a department is expected to readmit students who have successfully completed programs of study signed off by that department. Disqualified, reinstated students seeking readmission are, nevertheless, subject to the same enrollment limitations and admission application requirements as all other applicants.

Reinstatement Following University Disqualification
Following notice of disqualification, the graduate student should obtain a Petition for Reinstatement. The form indicates that there are four categories by which a student can be reinstated: extenuating circumstances, special consideration, grade change, and program of study. Extenuating Circumstances Similar to the appeal process for probation or disqualification, a request for reinstatement due to extenuating circumstances must meet the conditions indicated above for that process. The petition is submitted along with evidence of the circumstances and their role in the decline in scholastic performance. After securing the requisite signatures, the form is submitted to the Associate Dean of the college in which the student’s program resides. The college Associate Dean approves or denies the reinstatement, and the student is informed of the decision on MySJSU. All reinstatement petitions are reviewed by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies & Research, who has the authority to rescind the disqualification, that is, to remove any designation of the disqualification that would appear in the permanent record (transcript). Special Consideration This category is reserved for individuals who have been absent from the university usually for five or more years and who have in that time achieved a renewed sense of purpose through job activities or through increased maturity that would prompt a greater chance of academic success. Often this request is accompanied by a switch in major from that in which the disqualification occurred. Reinstatement on the basis of special consideration can be awarded by an Associate Dean of the college in which the student’s program resides or by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies & Research. Change of Grade If a grade that was changed results in an increase in the semester GPA to above 3.0 or in the cumulative GPA to 3.0 or above, the student may qualify for reinstatement in this category. The Changeof-Grade form must be submitted by the department office directly to the Office of the Registrar by the drop deadline of the following spring or fall semester. Extension of this deadline will be considered only when there is documentation of the student’s attempt(s) to contact both the instructor and the department chair and only when the late submission of the change-of-grade form is clearly shown to be beyond the student’s control. If these conditions are met, the disqualification (or probation) is rescinded. If the conditions are not met, even if the grade is subsequently changed and the GPA elevated, the probationary or disqualified status will remain unchanged. Program of Study The most common grounds for reinstatement is the completion of a program of study. A student must confer with the graduate advisor to develop a schedule of classes appropriate to the student’s major. The courses must amount to a minimum of 6 and maximum of 9 units per semester and be letter graded, upper division (100-level), and taken through Open University or SJSU’s Extended Studies winter or summer session. The 100-level courses may or may not be part of the graduation requirements for the student’s degree program. The advisor may require more than 6 units of course work. Graduate (200-level) courses are not permitted on the program of study, and disqualified students cannot enroll in 200-level courses. Under no circumstances will courses be accepted that were taken prior to approval of

Following Readmission
A graduate student readmitted after academic disqualification most often retains a sub-3.0 GPA and, therefore, remains on continued probation until the cumulative graduate GPA is raised to at minimum of 3.0. At that point, the probationary status is removed, and a subsequent decline in cumulative GPA below 3.0 results again in probation. If while on probation, including following reinstatement, a student fails to achieve a semester GPA above, but not equal to, 3.0, he or she is disqualified a second and final time. Credential candidates are subject to the GPA requirements dictated by the State Department of Education. Candidates will be notified of those requirements by the department in the College of Education in which they are seeking their credential preparation.

Disqualified International Students
International students must be matriculated within a degree program. Enrollment in Open University does not qualify them for the immigration document needed to remain in the U.S. or to transfer to SJSU from another U.S. university. Disqualified international students are eligible to enroll through Open University for programs of study but must seek a return to student status from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

Graduation Requirements – Graduate
Competency in Written English
All graduate students are required to demonstrate their competency in written English as a requirement for graduation. At San José State University, university policy requires that English competency shall be a requirement of classified graduate students as a condition necessary for advancement to candidacy for the award of the master’s degree. Students may satisfy this requirement in one of five ways: • Satisfactory completion of the CSU baccalaureate graduation requirement of competency in written English; • Satisfactory completion as a graduate student of the SJSU undergraduate upper division writing requirement by passing the writing workshop waiver examination or completing satisfactorily a writing workshop (100W); • Satisfactory completion of a graduate course, which has been approved by the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research, of at least three units in which a major report is required and that report is at least 30 percent of the course grade. Approved courses are listed at www.sjsu.edu/gape/docs/gwar.pdf;

apply directly to the student’s master’s degree objectives, although they need not be drawn from offerings in the student’s major department.

If the student fails to earn the minimum 3.0 GPA on completion of the revised graduate degree program, the student’s candidacy will be terminated without award of the master’s degree.

Candidates should be aware that each department may establish its own criteria within these policy guidelines and candidates must abide by the department decision. Graduate Studies & Research will not waive the WST but will accept the course-waiver score, if achieved. Graduate courses can also not be taken for credit by examination.

Final Master’s Examinations
It is university policy to require final examinations in master’s degree programs in all departments. Departmental requirements for these examinations vary; they may be oral, written or a combination of both. Students following Plans A and C are usually examined primarily over areas of their theses or projects. Plan B students are generally required to demonstrate their competence by writing in a broad field of concentration. In all cases, it is the candidate’s responsibility to register through the departmental coordinator of graduate studies to take all required final examinations. The candidate’s advisor and/or the departmental graduate coordinator will be able to supply general information concerning the nature of the examinations and recommended preparation for them. The master’s diploma cannot be transmitted to the candidate until the major department certifies to the program evaluator at Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations via the Verification of Culminating Experience memo that final examinations have been completed satisfactorily. The memo is available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/ forms.

Completing Requirements for the Master’s Degree
After being admitted to candidacy for the master’s degree, the student is required to: • Maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (“B”) in completing requirements in the graduate degree program. This program is defined as completed courses included in the original graduate degree program, plus all additions or substitutions. • Complete all courses on the graduate degree program with grades of A, B, C, or CR. Grades of C – or lower, including NC, U and WU, are considered to be unsatisfactory. Should courses on the graduate degree program be completed with unsatisfactory grades, these grades must remain on the program and will continue to be computed in the grade-point average of the program. The candidate must petition through the academic advisor to add another course to the graduate degree program with unit value equivalent to that of the course in which the unsatisfactory grade was received. That course could be the same course taken a second time with a passing grade. • Complete an acceptable thesis, project, or comprehensive examination. The thesis (Plan A) or creative project (Plan C) requires that one copy be submitted to the Associate Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research. In Plan B, completed projects are submitted to the student’s major department and a final comprehensive oral and/or written examination over the field of concentration for the degree must usually be successfully completed. The program evaluator at Graduate Admissions and Program Evaluations is notified of passage of the exam by means of graduate advisor completion of the Verification of Culminating Experience memo available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. • Complete all work on the graduate degree program within seven years preceding award of the degree. If courses become outdated, the candidate should consult the section titled Seven-year Time Limit on Courses in Graduate Degree Programs in this catalog concerning steps to be followed. • Apply for award of the master’s degree by posted deadline dates indicated at http://www.sjsu.edu/gape/current_students/deadlines/ index.htm by submission of the Application for Award of Master’s Degree available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. • Note that failure to clear incomplete (“I”), report-in-progress (“RP”), or report-delayed (“RD”) grades will prevent graduation. An “I” obtained in a graded class results in an automatic grade change to an “IC” grade, which calculates to an “F” grade on the transcript, even after separation or graduation. In an ungraded (“CR/NC”) course, the “I” reverts to a no credit (“NC”) grade and is, therefore, also unsatisfactory for graduation if in a course on the candidacy form. • Be in good academic standing (cumulative 3.0 minimum GPA in Graduate Division) at San José State University to receive a degree from this University.

Grading System for Graduate Work
Traditional letter grades are used for all courses taken by graduate students except for field work, thesis, project, individual study and internship courses, which are usually graded credit/no credit. Graduate students do not have the option of choice between the traditional or non-traditional grading system. A grade of Credit in a graduate-level course indicates performance by the student equal to a letter grade of “A” or “B.” The cumulative GPA for advancement to candidacy for the master’s degree (3.0 minimum) includes all letter-graded work in 100-level or 200-level courses completed within the preceding seven years and for which the student received graduate credit, excluding transfer courses taken as an undergraduate at SJSU, through SJSU Open University, or at another institution, currently with some exceptions. For the award of the master’s degree, all of the course grades on the student’s candidacy form are included in the GPA, with the exception of the transfer courses indicated above, and must be at least at the 3.0 level. The cumulative GPA of the graduate student is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of graded units attempted at SJSU, excluding Open University courses, subsequent to enrollment in the graduate school.

S A N J O S E S T A T E

Requirements for a Second Master’s Degree
Graduate students who have completed one master’s degree program at San José State University may, with the approval of the new department, complete requirements for a second master’s degree at this institution. A student who is interested in undertaking a second graduate degree program must apply for admission to the second graduate degree program after the first degree program. All policies and procedures that apply to the completion of the first master’s degree apply to the completion of requirements for the second graduate degree. The graduate degree program for the second degree should be prepared by the student and graduate advisor in the new field without regard to course work taken in the previous degree. If the new program happens to include course work taken in the first degree, a maximum of one-third of the total units required for the new degree may be from courses taken for the previous degree at this institution. The courses must be approved by the advisor and must have been completed by the student with a grade of “A,” “B,” or in special cases “CR.” Students enrolling in the Master of Fine Arts program should consult their department regarding acceptance of units earned in a Master of Arts program. Care should be taken to assure that all courses on the first degree program used for the second degree are within the seven-year period for completion of the second degree.

Failure to Achieve a 3.0 Grade Point Average on Completed Graduate Degree Program
If a graduate student does not complete the graduate degree program with a minimum 3.0 average, the student’s major department may (1) terminate the candidacy, or (2) permit completing additional courses in an attempt to raise the GPA in the program to the minimum 3.0 threshold. When the student’s major department recommends the latter, the additional courses selected must • be at least two new courses at the 200-level, total not less than four semester units, and be letter graded.

Seven-Year Time Limit on Courses in Graduate Degree Programs
Section 40510(b)(2), California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Education, requires that courses in completed master’s degree programs be no older than seven years at the time of the degree award. The seven-year period is counted from the end of the semester in which the course was completed. Thus no more than seven years may elapse between the time the first course in a graduate program is completed and the time the last item in the program is completed, the latter indicating fulfillment of all degree requirements. With an outdated course, the candidate has the following options: • request through the department graduate advisor that the office of Graduate Studies & Research substitute another course, one already completed or to be completed, for the outdated course. repeat the outdated course without credit. revalidate the outdated SJSU course by examination. No more than 30% of a master’s degree program may be considered for revalidation. Permission to revalidate is not required; examination can proceed and the results communicated to the program evaluator at GAPE by the form entitled, Procedure for Revalidation of Courses that Have Exceeded the Seven-year Limit available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. Course work completed at other institutions is not eligible for revalidation, but transfer courses taken at SJSU may be revalidated..

SJSU participates in the University Microfilm International (UMI) Dissertation Information Service. Students completing theses are required to submit one copy of the thesis to the thesis coordinator in the office of Graduate Studies & Research. One extra 150-word abstract and one extra copy of the title page with advisor’s name must be attached to the UMI form. Additional information is available at http:// www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/thesis/index.htm and http://il.proquest.com/ en-US/products/dissertations/authors.shtml. The thesis copy, accompanied by appropriate forms and fees, must be submitted to the thesis coordinator in the office of Graduate Studies & Research by the stated deadline.

Checking the Manuscript
The office of Graduate Studies & Research does not serve as an editor. The author and thesis committee members should carefully proofread the thesis before it is submitted. A careful review should be used by the student as a guide to correcting similar errors in the entire thesis. The review conducted by Graduate Studies & Research should also be regarded as an indicator of problems to be addressed globally throughout the thesis. Making only the changes specifically indicated, rather than applying the criticisms to the remainder of the thesis, would not only result in a flawed document but would also be beneath graduate school standards. Graduate Studies & Research may reject a thesis with more than 15 errors and may require department chairperson certification of additional proofreading before accepting a revised manuscript. Students can prevent rejection of the thesis by ensuring that the final manuscript is free of the following frequent errors: pages for which no numbers are assigned, misspelled words, inconsistencies in writing style, failure to apply reference style consistently or to cite references when needed, careless spacing or centering, inappropriate margins, incorrect footnotes or bibliography entries, grammatical errors, punctuation errors, word-usage errors, and inconsistencies in or lack of adherence to style-manual formatting rules. Neither SJSU nor any of its separate offices or departments is responsible for matters concerning a student’s relationships or agreements with any outside agency or individual. Neither the university nor any of its offices will take part in disagreements between students and typists, editors, or copy shops with regard to thesis-preparation services, expected costs, or billed costs. A student conducting thesis research off site, for example at a local company, must be free to include all of it in the thesis. SJSU’s legal relationship is only with the student and his or her compliance with the rules set forth in this and related documents and does not include any obligations to the company in question unless expressly agreed upon in a separate legal document.

Veterans who are candidates for graduate degrees and who have had their graduate programs interrupted by military service may petition through the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies & Research to extend the time limit imposed by the above regulations by the amount of time spent in military service. The seven years is counted from the end of the semester in which the course was completed. Facilitating Graduation Effective Spring 2010, any undergraduate or graduate student will be precluded from enrolling in any additional state-supported courses when that student has already met all necessary requirements for the degree for which that student is matriculated. Moreover, students who have met all requirements for graduation prior to any semester in which they are enrolled will be permitted to drop all courses for which they are registered, with little or no penalty, and to graduate at the next available date. Students who have earned more than enough units to graduate but have some remaining requirements to complete will be advised and precluded from registering in any courses other than those required for a timely graduation.

Thesis Requirements – Graduate
Time is critical during “thesis season.” Students must allow enough time for preparation of the draft, consideration by thesis committee members by the deadline dates set in departments, word processing, acquisition of permissions to publish, and the inevitable corrections. Students must leave time for the final reading and signing by the committee members. In most departments, a minimum of 2 months is needed for the entire process, and some departments require a longer period. Students should confer with each committee member in advance regarding the time each requires for review and whether each will be in town and available when the review and signatures are due. Instructions for master’s degree candidates are located at www.sjsu. edu/gape/current_students/completing_masters/index.htm and at www. sjsu.edu/gradstudies/thesis/index.htm. While these instructions refer to “thesis” throughout, they pertain to creative project reports conducted under Plan C as well. Students should consult the departmental project committee or graduate advisor to clarify instructions that do not seem appropriate. These instructions provide general guidance for authors of master’s theses at SJSU. Examples of a thesis title page, copyright page, abstract, and signature page are provided in the guidelines. Students should read the guidelines carefully and consult their advisors concerning the format of the thesis, the professional style guide to use, and journal articles to emulate, if applicable. The major department usually provides students more complete formatting instructions, the interpretation of which resting primarily with the advisor. In rare cases, Graduate Studies & Research will provide assistance.

Details of Plans A, B and C
SJSU offers three plans for candidates for master’s degrees. Plan A – Thesis Plan This plan requires approval by the candidate’s advisor and other members of the thesis committee of a thesis topic and its satisfactory production in written form. Plan A requires registration in departmental 299, Master’s Thesis, for at least one unit. Departmental 298 units are often also taken during the data-gathering stages of the thesis research. While the total of 298 and 299 units can be a maximum of six on the candidacy form, the number taken is not restricted. Plan B – Degree-Without-Thesis Plan Plan B is characterized by substitution of the thesis and departmental 299 units with another set of courses and either a project or comprehensive exam. The plan is expected to provide substantial writing and problem-solving experiences by means of the tools and techniques of advanced study in the field. The purpose of Plan B is most often to provide breadth, rather than specialization, and so is tailored by the selection of courses and the nature of the final, comprehensive exam. The exam may be oral, written, or both and constitutes the culminating experience in the plan. Many departments historically have assigned students to Plan B for projects, whether they are also accompanied by a comprehensive exam or not. The projects are usually conducted as part of a departmental 298 or otherwise numbered 200-level project course for a maximum of six units, as stipulated by the department, and the writeup for the project is required as part of the culminating experience. Departmental 299 units are not permitted for graduate credit under this plan.

gradu ate in formation

Plan C – Special Plans Including Creative Projects This plan is reserved for exceptional cases for which needs will be served best through a special arrangement of courses and/or special creative assignments. The assignments might include original paintings, dramatic presentations, motion picture productions, works of sculpture, musical compositions, electronic media, or videotapes. In these cases, the candidate is required to submit a written report on the creative project in the form of a supplementary guide or handbook that puts the work into historical, cultural, and/or professional context. This written report is to be bound and filed in the university library in the same manner as regular theses discussed under Plan A. Departmental advisors will provide further information on special requirements of the plan. Plan C requires registration in a minimum of one unit of departmental 299. Note that creative projects can also be conducted under the Plan B umbrella without the submission of a thesis or taking departmental 299 units. Thesis/Creative Project Unit Conditions Registration for departmental 299 thesis courses occurs only after advancement to candidacy for the master’s degree. By that point, the thesis committee should be fully established in accordance with the SJSU Academic Senate policy. Before collection of data from human subjects, prior approval must be granted by the Institutional Review Board; see the section on Human Subjects Data Collection in this catalog. Similarly, prior approval for research on or employing animals must be granted by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee; see the section on Animal Research Guidelines in this catalog. A student is allowed a maximum of six semester units of thesis courses (departmental 298 and 299) for graduate credit in Plan A and Plan C, although more of these units can be attempted. Some departments use fewer than six in their requirements. The student may register for any or all of the required thesis units in one semester, but the sequence should follow departmental guidelines and regulations. All 299 units will receive a grade of “RP” until a final grade (“CR” or “NC”) is awarded. Extensions of the 2-year period for completing thesis work under the RP designation should be made before the period expires by means of the form available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/forms. Final grades for departmental 299 registrations are not given until the thesis has been approved for binding by the office of Graduate Studies & Research. Upon satisfactory completion of the thesis, a “CR” is submitted by the thesis chair via the Change-of-Grade Form to the Registrar to clear the “RP.”

Human Subjects Data Collection
If a thesis includes data gathered from human subjects, whether experiments, surveys, or interviews, the students must obtain approval from the SJSU Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB). Information concerning the use of human participants is available online at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/Current/Forms.htm or from the IRB coordinator at 408-924-2479. Approval must be obtained from SJSU prior to data collection regardless of whether the research is done in conjunction with another institution that has given its approval. Approval must also be obtained even if the work is ultimately determined to be “exempt.” Federal law prohibits retroactive approval of human subjects research. The thesis will not be approved if it fails to comply with IRB policy. Once the research is approved, thesis submission must include a copy of the permission letter, whether as a document separate from the thesis or as an appendix to the thesis. Failure to submit the appropriate documentation can result in a delay or denial of thesis approval by Graduate Studies & Research.

Animal Research Guidelines
If the thesis includes research on animals, the research must be approved by the SJSU Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Information concerning animal care is available from the IACUC Coordinator and online at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/iacuc/index.htm. Animal research approval from SJSU must be obtained prior to data collection even if the work is done in conjunction with another institution from which approval has been granted. Federal law prohibits retroactive approval of animal research. The permission letter, obtained with IACUC approval, must be submitted along with the thesis whether as an appendix or as a separate document. Failure to submit the necessary documentation can result in a delay or denial of the thesis by Graduate Studies & Research.

Final Approval of Your Thesis
The last three steps in the thesis-approval process are outlined below. 1. After the thesis has received final departmental (thesis committee) approval, as indicated by committee signatures, the complete thesis should be submitted along with original signature page and the completed Thesis Information Form, available at www.sjsu. edu/gradstudies/docs/thesis_information_form.pdf, to the thesis coordinator for Graduate Studies & Research. Deadline dates for submission may be found at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/thesis/ deadlines. The deadlines are firm, and exceptions are extremely rare. 2. The student should retain a copy of the thesis. It is advisable to have a “hard” (paper) copy in addition to the electronic copy, that includes photographs and other materials. 3. The thesis will be read and returned to the student with an assessment by the staff of the office of Graduate Studies & Research as accepted without corrections, accepted with corrections, or not accepted. the student, or a designee assigned in writing by the student, must pick up the thesis after receiving a phone call or email indicating its readiness. If the thesis is not accepted or it is accepted with corrections, the student will be instructed to resubmit it within a two-week period from the point of notification. If it has an abundance of errors in formatting, grammar, punctuation, or other writing parameters, corrections will have to be made. The thesis advisors on the Thesis Committee should be consulted about these corrections. Note that the Graduate Studies & Research staff reads and edits only portions of the thesis, but it is expected that errors of the kinds indicated be corrected globally throughout the thesis. The new draft of the thesis must be accompanied by the original draft when resubmitting, so that any corrections requested can be verified. Once the thesis is accepted, the student will be instructed to submit final copies for binding by the deadline posted at www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/ thesis/deadlines. UMI binding forms and fees as well as the receipt for personal copies must also be submitted to Graduate Studies & Research.

Required Documentation Submitted with Thesis
Copyright Permission - Thesis
If a student copies a figure, table, or a significant section of someone else’s work and it is believed that the use of these copyrighted materials is beyond that permitted by “fair use,” the student will be required to obtain separate written permission letters from the publishers or authors of the works cited. It must be indicated in the text or figure caption within the thesis that the material is “copied with permission.” The student should plan well so that permission letters will be received in time. If letters of permission are not submitted with the final copies of the thesis, the office of Graduate Studies & Research will not approve the thesis, and UMI will not microfilm the work. The permission letters should be included with the initial submission of the thesis as well as when the thesis is submitting for binding. For questions about the process, including whether permission is required for a particular insertion, contact the thesis coordinator at Graduate Studies & Research.

Fees and Financial Assistance
Cancellation of Registration or Withdrawal from SJSU
Students who find it necessary to cancel their registration or to withdraw from all classes after enrolling for any academic term are required to follow the university’s official withdrawal procedures. Failure to follow formal university procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees as well as the assignment of failing grades in all courses and the need to apply for readmission before being permitted to enroll in another academic term. Information on canceling registration and withdrawal procedures is available from the Office of the Registrar. Students who receive financial aid funds must consult with Financial Aid and Scholarships prior to withdrawing from the university regarding any required return or repayment of grant or loan assistance received for that academic term or payment period. If a recipient of student financial aid funds withdraws from the institution during an academic term or a payment period, the amount of grant or loan assistance received may be subject to return and/or repayment provisions. For further information, consult the SJSU Schedule of Classes, www. sjsu.edu/bursar and www.sjsu.edu/faso.

Fee Waivers
The California Education Code includes provisions for the waiver of mandatory systemwide fees as follows: Section 66025.3 – Qualifying children, spouses/registered domestic partners, or unmarried surviving spouses/registered domestic partners of a war period veteran of the U.S. military who is totally serviceconnected disabled or who died as a result of service-related causes; children of any veteran of the U.S. military who has a service-connected disability, was killed in action, or died of a service-connected disability and meets specified income provisions; any dependents or surviving spouse/registered domestic partner who has not remarried of a member of the California National Guard who in the line of duty and in active service of the state was killed or became permanently disabled or died of a disability as a result of an event while in active service of the state; and undergraduate students who are the recipient of or the child of a recipient of a Congressional Medal of Honor and meet certain age and income restrictions; and Section 68075 (a) – An undergraduate student who is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty, except a member of the Armed Forces assigned for educational purposes to a state-supported institution of higher education, is entitled to resident classification only for the purpose of determining the amount of tuition and fees. (b) A student seeking a graduate degree who is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty, except a member of the Armed Forces assigned for educational purposes to a state-supported institution of higher education, shall be entitled to resident classification only for the purpose of determining the amount of tuition and fees for no more than two academic years, and shall thereafter be subject to Article 5 (commencing with Section 68060). Section 68120 – Qualifying children and surviving spouses/registered domestic partners of deceased public law enforcement or fire suppression employees who were California residents and who were killed in the course of law enforcement or fire suppression duties (referred to as Alan Pattee Scholarships); Section 68121 – Qualifying students enrolled in an undergraduate program who are the surviving dependent of any individual killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., or the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in southwestern Pennsylvania, if the student meets the financial need requirements set forth in Section 69432.7 for the Cal Grant A Program and either the surviving dependent or the individual killed in the attacks was a resident of California on September 11, 2001. Students who may qualify for these benefits should contact the Registrar’s Office for further information and/or an eligibility determination.

Fees and Debts Owed to the University
Should a student or former student fail to pay a fee or a debt owed to the institution, the institution may “withhold permission to register, to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged, to receive services, materials, food or merchandise or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt” until the debt is paid (see Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Sections 42380 and 42381). Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course. The institution may withhold permission to register or to receive official transcripts of grades or other services offered by the institution from anyone owing fees or another debt to the institution. The institution may also report the debt to a credit bureau, offset the amount due against any future state tax refunds due the student, refer the debt to an outside collection agency and/or charge the student actual and reasonable collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees if litigation is necessary, in collecting any amount not paid when due. If a person believes he or she does not owe all or part of an asserted unpaid obligation, that person may contact the campus business office. The business office, or another office on campus to which the business office may refer the person, will review all pertinent information provided by the person and available to the campus and will advise the person of its conclusions. Failure to pay full registration fees when due or to clear any debt by the given deadline will result in an additional Administrative Fee or cancellation of classes. Also, for failure to respond to university collection efforts, delinquent accounts will be referred to outside collection agencies. Students are responsible for any collection costs that accrue.

Nonresident Alien Tax Assessment
International students and scholars receiving payments from San José State University must comply with all federal and state tax reporting responsibilities. The Internal Revenue Service requires that SJSU comply with specific federal tax withholding and reporting regulations when making payments to nonresident aliens. Non-U.S. citizens will be required to complete a Foreign National Information Form to assist in the determination of tax residency and applicable tax withholding liability. Payments affected by these IRS rules include, but are not limited to: compensation, wages, honoraria, consulting fees, scholarships, fellowships, stipends, and some reimbursements for travel and other expenses. Questions regarding nonresident alien tax assessment can be addressed by contacting the Human Resources Service Group at 408-924-2250.

Nonresident Students (U.S. and Foreign) Tuition
Nonresident Tuition, in addition to other fees charged all students: $339 per unit each semester. The total fee paid per term will be determined by the number of units taken, including those in excess of fifteen. Exemption from Non-Resident Tuition for Certain Students If you attended high school in California for at least three full years and graduated or earned an equivalent, you may be eligible for resident tuition. Students must file an affidavit with the CSU campus stating that they have filed an application with USCIS to legalize their immigration status or will do so as soon as they are eligible. You will need to show proof of attendance and graduation.

Refund of Mandatory Fees Including Non-resident Tuition
Regulations governing the refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, for students enrolling at the California State University are included in Section 41802 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations. For purposes of the refund policy, mandatory fees are defined as those systemwide fees and campus fees that are required to be paid in order to enroll in state-supported academic programs at the California State University. Refunds of fees and tuition charges for self-support programs at the California State University (courses offered through extended education) are governed by a separate policy established by the University. In order to receive a full refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, a student must cancel registration or drop all courses prior to the first day of instruction for the term. Information on procedures and deadlines for canceling registration and dropping classes is available in the SJSU Schedule of Classes (http://info.sjsu.edu/home/schedules. html). For state-supported semesters, quarters, and non-standard terms or courses of four (4) weeks or more, a student who withdraws during the term in accordance with the university’s established procedures will receive a refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, based on the portion of the term during which the student was enrolled. No student withdrawing after the 60 percent point in the term will be entitled to a refund of any mandatory fees or nonresident tuition. For state-supported semesters, quarters, and non-standard terms or courses of less than four (4) weeks, no refunds of mandatory fees and nonresident tuition will be made unless a student cancels registration or drops all classes prior to the first day in accordance with the university’s established procedures and deadlines. Students will also receive a refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, under the following circumstances: • The tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected in error; • The course for which the tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected was cancelled by the university; • The university makes a delayed decision that the student was not eligible to enroll in the term for which mandatory fees were assessed and collected and the delayed decision was not due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the student; or • The student was activated for compulsory military service. Students who are not entitled to a refund as described above may petition the university for a refund demonstrating exceptional circumstances and the chief financial officer of the university or designee may authorize a refund if he or she determines that the fees and tuition were not earned by the university. Information concerning any aspect of the refund of fees may be obtained from the Bursar’s office. Parking Permit Refunds Parking permits are refunded based upon the date the permit is returned to Parking Services (see info.sjsu.edu/home/schedules.html).

Policy on Dishonored Checks
An individual is not officially enrolled until the university has received full payment of fees. The university has not received payment if personal checks or E-checks are subsequently dishonored by the bank. Individuals paying registration fees by personal check or E-check are hereby given notice that if their check is dishonored from the bank for any reason, the registration is subject to cancellation. Classes will be purged immediately without prior notification. A $25.00 fee is charged for the first returned check and $35.00 thereafter. An additional administrative fee may be charged. The university has no control whether the bank sends checks through a second time for clearing. All dishonored checks must be redeemed with cash, money order or cashier’s check.

Procedure for the Establishment or Abolishment of a Student Body Fee
The law governing the California State University provides that fees defined as mandatory, such as a student body association fee and a student body center fee, may be established. A student body association fee must be established upon a favorable vote of two-thirds of the students voting in an election held for this purpose (Education Code, Section 89300). A student body center fee may be established only after a fee referendum is held which approves by a two-thirds favorable vote the establishment of the fee (Education Code, Section 89304). The student body fee was established at San José State University by student referendum in the 1930s. The campus president may adjust the student body association fee only after the fee adjustment has been approved by a majority of students voting in a referendum established for that purpose (Education Code, Section 89300). The required fee shall be subject to referendum at any time upon the presentation of a petition to the campus president containing the signatures of 10 percent of the regularly enrolled students at the university. Once bonds are issued, authority to set and adjust student body center fees is governed by provisions of the State University Revenue Bond Act of 1947, including, but not limited to, Education Code, sections 90012, 90027, and 90068. Student body association fees support a variety of cultural and recreational programs, childcare centers, and special student support programs. The process to establish and adjust other campus-based mandatory fees requires consideration by the campus fee advisory committee and a student referendum. The campus President may use alternate consultation mechanisms if he/she determines that a referendum is not the best mechanism to achieve appropriate and meaningful consultation. Results of the referendum and the fee committee review are advisory to the campus President. The President may adjust campus-based mandatory fees, but must request the Chancellor establish a new mandatory fee. The President shall provide to the fee advisory committee a report of all campus-based mandatory fees. The campus shall report annually to the Chancellor a complete inventory of all campus based-mandatory fees. For more information or questions, please contact the Budget Office in the CSU Chancellor’s Office at 562-951-4560.

Schedule of Fees 2009-2010
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees. For current SJSU fees, see www.sjsu.edu/bursar. Applicable term fees apply for campuses with special terms, as determined by the campus. Total College Year fees cannot exceed the Academic Year plus Summer Term fees (Summer Term fee rate is $4,338).

residen cy

Residency
Determination of Residence for Nonresident Tuition Purposes
University requirements for establishing residency are independent from those of other types of residency, such as for tax purposes, or other state or institutional residency. These regulations were promulgated not to determine whether a student is a resident or nonresident of California, but rather to determine whether a student should pay University fees on an in-state or out-of-state basis. A resident for tuition purposes is someone who meets the requirements set forth in the Uniform Student Residence Requirements. These laws governing residence for tuition purposes at the California State University are California Education Code sections 68000-68090, 68120-68134, and 89705-89707.5, and California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter 5, Article 4, sections 41900-41916. This material can be viewed at www.calstate.edu/GC/ resources.shtml. Each campus’s Admissions Office is responsible for determining the residence status of all new and returning students based on the Application for Admission, Residency Questionnaire, Reclassification Request Form, and, as necessary, other evidence furnished by the student. A student who fails to submit adequate information to establish eligibility for resident classification will be classified as a nonresident. Generally, establishing California residence for tuition purposes requires a combination of physical presence and intent to remain indefinitely. An adult who, at least one full year prior to the residence determination date for the term in which enrollment is contemplated, can demonstrate both physical presence in the state combined with evidence of intent to remain in California indefinitely may establish California residence for tuition purposes. A minor normally derives residence from the parent(s) with whom they reside or with whom they most recently resided. Evidence demonstrating intent may vary from case to case but will include, and is not limited to, the absence of residential ties to any other state, California voter registration and voting in California elections, maintaining California vehicle registration and driver’s license (or California identification card), maintaining active California bank accounts, filing California income tax returns and listing a California address on federal tax returns, owning residential property or occupying or leasing an apartment where permanent belongings are kept, maintaining active memberships in California professional or social organizations, and maintaining a permanent military address and home of record in California.

Nonresident students seeking reclassification are required to complete a supplemental questionnaire that includes questions concerning their financial dependence on parents or others who do not meet University requirements for classification as residents for tuition purposes. Financial independence is required, along with physical presence and intent, to be eligible for reclassification. Non-citizens establish residence in the same manner as citizens, unless precluded by the Immigration and Nationality Act from establishing domicile in the United States. Exceptions to the general residence requirements are contained in California Education Code sections 68070-68084 and California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter 5, Article 4, sections 41906-41906.5, and include, but are not limited to, members of the military and their dependents, certain credentialed employees of school districts and most students who have attended three years of high school in California and graduated or attained the equivalent. Whether an exception applies to a particular student cannot be determined before the submission of an application for admission and, as necessary, additional supporting documentation. Because neither campus nor Chancellor’s Office staff may give advice on the application of these laws, applicants are strongly urged to review the material for themselves and consult with a legal advisor.

Appeals
Students classified as non-residents may appeal a final campus decision within 120 days of notification by the campus. A campus residence classification appeal must be in writing and submitted to: The California State University Office of General Counsel 401 Golden Shore, 4th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802-4210 The Office of General Counsel can either decide the appeal or send the matter back to the campus for further review. Students incorrectly classified as residents or incorrectly granted an exception from nonresident tuition are subject to reclassification as nonresidents and payment of nonresident tuition in arrears. If incorrect classification results from false or concealed facts, the student is subject to discipline pursuant to Section 41301 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. Resident students who become nonresidents, or who no longer meet the criteria for an exception, must immediately notify the Registrar’s Office. Changes may have been made in the rate of nonresident tuition and in the statutes and regulations governing residence for tuition purposes in California between the time this information is published and the relevant residence determination date. Students are urged to review the statutes and regulations stated above.

Leave of Absence and Withdrawal
Withdrawal from the University
Students may withdraw officially from all courses during the first fourteen days of instruction without academic penalty (no “W” grade on academic record). Students who have serious or compelling reasons to cancel their registration, or who wish to withdraw from all classes after the last day to drop without a “W” grade, should consult their instructors, department chair, academic advisor, and Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. An additional source of assistance is available from the Counseling Office. A completed “Petition for Withdrawal” form must be submitted to Academic Advising and Retention Services in the Student Services Center. The form is available at www.sjsu.edu/aars/forms/. Failure to follow formal university procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees as well as the assignment of failing grades in all courses. Students who leave the university but who do not officially withdraw will receive a grade of “WU” (denotes failure for unauthorized drop or withdrawal) in all of their classes. No personnel actions, grades, or transcript services will be permitted until all financial obligations, such as unpaid fines have been settled. If a student fails to return the semester immediately following withdrawal, the student will need to reapply for admission at www.csumentor.edu. Students who receive financial aid funds must consult with the Financial Aid and Scholarship office prior to withdrawing from the university regarding any required return or repayment of grant or loan assistance received for that academic term or payment period. If a recipient of student financial aid funds withdraws from the institution during an academic term or a payment period, the amount of grant or loan assistance received may be subject to return and/or repayment provisions. Refer to the policy on “Continuous Attendance” for information about the possible effect a break in attendance may have on requirements for graduation.

Leave for International Students
International students may not take leave and remain in the United States except for documented medical reasons. International students must be enrolled in a full course of study (12 credit units for undergraduate students; 9 credit units for graduate students) for two semesters annually. They are not required to register for summer or winter breaks, but may do so if they so desire.

Military Leave
Students who are called to active duty may request a Military Leave. A Leave Request form with a copy of military orders must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office. The form is available in the Student Services Center and is downloadable from the Registrar’s website at www.sjsu. edu/registrar/forms/index.htm.

One Semester Leave
Students who have attended at least one semester as a matriculated student and who are in good or probation standing may choose to leave SJSU for one semester (Fall or Spring) without submission of a Leave of Absence form. Students choosing this option must return the following semester and continue their enrollment as a matriculated student. If a student does not return in the semester following the one semester leave, the student will be required to reapply for admission to the next available admission term. Students utilizing this option may not submit a formal leave of absence following the one semester leave. Please review the Returning Student section for additional information. Students who engage in college course work outside of SJSU during the one semester leave period will be required to submit official academic transcripts prior to course enrollment.

Planned Student Educational Leave
A Planned Student Educational Leave permits a student to be absent from regular attendance for one or more terms while maintaining continuing enrollment status. Applicants must have an intention to return to formal study within a specified period and a plan for how the time is to be spent in relation to an educational objective. The opportunity to apply for such leave is available to all students except those attending their first semester (or a first semester after an absence) and those students in disqualified status. International students are not eligible to remain in the United States while on a leave of absence unless such a leave is documented by an attending physician, and authorized by the International Programs and Services Office at SJSU. Leave arrangements must be made in advance with the chair of the department in which the student is majoring. Undergraduate students in undeclared status will make leave arrangements with Academic Services in the Student Services Center. Graduate students will make leave arrangements with the graduate program coordinator in their department. International students must also go to the IPS office to secure the necessary immigration authorizations. The maximum leave is four semesters. Students who meet the terms of the leave are guaranteed a return to their department even though it is or becomes a program restricting the number of applicants. However, students who return to SJSU in a chancellor-designated impacted major are subject to readmission consideration based on meeting the supplementary admission criteria required of all applicants seeking entrance to those fields of study. Leave forms and additional information may be secured from the Student Services Center.

Health Leave
Matriculated undergraduate or graduate students unable to continue their enrollment by reason of health are eligible for health leave. A student granted health leave retains continuing student status and may return as a continuing student without a new application or application fee and without being subject to changes in requirements made during the period of leave. A Leave Request form needs to be completed with appropriate signatures to the Registrar’s Office in the Student Services Center. A leave form should be submitted to the chair of the student’s major department. Undeclared undergraduates, must submit the form to Academic Services. A certificate from a licensed State of California health professional will normally be required. A health leave shall not be granted initially for more than two consecutive semesters, but may subsequently be extended if the department chair is satisfied that circumstances so warrant. A request for extension shall be made in the same manner as the initial application. A student granted health leave during a semester in which he or she is registered for classes is eligible for Incomplete (“I”) grades if permitted by university policy. If Incomplete (“I”) grades are not permitted or appropriate, grades of “W” shall be recorded. It is the responsibility of students intending to return after health leave to notify the Registrar’s Office as far as possible in advance of the semester of return. If timely notice is given, the student shall be allowed to register through the regular procedure. Leave Request forms and information are available at the Student Services Center and are downloadable from www.sjsu.edu/registrar/ forms/index.htm.

Dropping Classes After the Fourteenth Day of Instruction
Students may petition to late or retroactively drop a course or withdraw from an entire semester of courses for serious and compelling reasons after the drop deadline. Check the official academic calendar to verify the date. Conditions and circumstances are defined as “serious and compelling” only if beyond the student’s control. Those acceptable as justifications for a late drop must have occurred after the drop deadline. A personal statement with supporting documentation must be submitted with the late and retroactive drop and withdrawal forms. Undergraduates may download the appropriate petition (course drop or withdrawal from all courses) at www.sjsu.edu/aars/forms. Graduate students may download the appropriate petition at www.sjsu.edu/gape/ forms. Submission of these forms, even with an instructor’s signature, does not constitute approval. Continue attending class and complete all assignments until the petition is approved or denied.

Dropping Classes Without Penalty
Courses may be added or dropped without penalty during the first fourteen days of classes. See the Schedule of Classes for exact dates and deadlines. Courses dropped during this initial period will not appear on the student’s transcript. With instructor consent, students may late add a class up to one week later (see current Schedule of Classes).

“Instructor Consent” or “Department Consent”
Should you receive a registration error indicating that “Instructor Consent” is required, you must go to the instructor to obtain the Permission number. To add the course, use the Permission Number with the Class Number for that specific course section, as listed in the course schedule. “Department Consent” requires students to go to the department that offers the course to obtain the Permission Number. To add the course, use the Permission Number with the Class Number for that specific course section, as listed in the course schedule. Permission numbers become ‘used’ only after an enrollment request is successful. To assure a successful enrollment request if you are adding using a permission number, remember the following before clicking the submit button: Remember the following before clicking the submit button: • Check that you have no holds. • Check that you have met all prerequisites. • Only enter the enrollment section in the class number section. • Enter any and all Component Courses (e.g., corequisite labs or seminars) and determine what required course is approved even before trying to “Enroll in the Class.” To enroll if you submitted a number but received an error, re-enter the same permission number after resolving the error.

ELM/EPT Have you taken the required placement tests? Students who are not exempt from the ELM and/or EPT must take the tests and have their scores on record before registering for any courses. Students might also see ELM and EPT ‘service indicators’ that indicate the need to enroll in remedial math or English. These do not prevent registration. Financial Holds • Do you owe the University $50.00 or more? If so, you will not be able to register until the debt has been paid. Be aware – these debts could accrue at any time. Clear up any debts as soon as possible by paying your outstanding debts using the “Pay Now” option at http://my.sjsu.edu after the log-in under Self Service. Remember, payments are applied to the oldest debt first. Keep your account current by paying all charges by the assigned due date.

Returning to SJSU After an Absence
If you are in good standing and you were not disenrolled for nonpayment of fees and you choose not to enroll or “stop out” for one semester, there is no need to reapply for admission. However, in order to maintain your matriculation at SJSU, you must enroll in classes the semester immediately following the one semester you stopped out. Some examples: • You attended a spring term, earned grades and you are still in good standing. You do not enroll in the fall term, but return to take classes in the following spring. You do not need to reapply for admission. When you must reapply for admission • You attended a fall term, earned grades and are in good standing. You do not enroll in the next spring or fall terms. You must reapply for admission. • If you take a full year off from school--you must reapply for admission. Consider alternatives: read the “leave of absence” section of the catalog. • You do not enroll in classes in your initial admission term and wish to attend a subsequent term. You must reapply for admission. How to reapply for admission Complete the online application at www.csumentor.edu. If you intend to stop out for one semester but decide to extend your absence, you may not request a leave of absence. If you return to SJSU after an absence of more than one semester you must reapply for admission before access to registration is granted. Note that summer term is not included in this policy.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS TIP

Identify and use the resources available to you
Talk to your professors. Visit them during office hours to introduce yourself, ask questions about the course, your major, careers, graduate school, and campus events. Know when to ask for help. Follow through by meeting with your professor or teaching assistant, or joining a study group. Go to the Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC) and seek out a tutor. Seek help from Counseling Services or check out the Peer Mentor Center, or ask for help from friends.

Students in Math and English Remediation
• Students in Math or English remedial status are restricted from enrolling in certain classes. Go to www.math.sjsu.edu/~McClory/ and click on the EO 665 Handbook for more information. • Students in Math or English remedial status based on ELM/ EPT scores will be required to remain enrolled in their assigned developmental Math and/or LLD class except during summer term. • Students who do not enroll or who drop out of the assigned developmental class(es) during any registration period for fall or spring terms will be subject to having all courses dropped. If this occurs, students must re-register for courses and there is no guarantee that classes in which they were previously enrolled will be available.

Writing Skills Test (WST)
• Are you planning on taking an SJSU Studies General Education course? • Are you planning on taking a 100W course outside of your major? You must pass the WST in order to register for any SJSU Studies (formerly Advanced GE) General Education class. This is true even if you want to take the class for a major requirement, instead of GE. If you have not yet taken the WST, plan to take it as soon as possible. Check the General Education Section in this schedule for an explanation. There are designated 100W classes for each major. Clear any substitutions with your major advisor before attempting to register for a 100W class that is not assigned to your major. You will need to wait until the first day of instruction to sign up for a 100W class that is not designated for your major.

gradu ation

Graduation – Undergraduate Degree
Conferring Degrees
Degrees are conferred three times a year – in August, December and May – at the close of summer, fall and spring terms. The date of the diploma reflects the term during which the degree requirements were completed. There is one graduation or commencement ceremony each academic year, held at the close of the spring semester. Students who have completed all requirements in the previous summer and fall semester, or expect to complete their degree requirements in the spring semester, are eligible to participate.

Those planning to attend a college or university other than SJSU during the final semester must notify the Office of the Registrar. Courses must be completed by the date of graduation and transcripts received within one month after graduation. If a candidate is unable to complete the course work as expected, or if the date of graduation is to be delayed for any reason, a Change of Graduation Date form must be submitted, accompanied with the fee, prior to the new expected graduation date.

Honors
The university recognizes outstanding academic achievement of its students through: Honors Convocation Each spring the Honors Convocation recognizes and encourages superior academic achievement of President’s and Deans’ Scholars. There are two levels of Honors Scholars: 1. President’s Scholars: Any undergraduate student who has earned a 4.0 grade point average at San José State University in two consecutive semesters (and summer or winter, if applicable). 2. Deans’ Scholars: Any undergraduate student who has earned a 3.65 or higher grade point average at San José State University in two consecutive semesters (and summer or winter, if applicable). The minimal load allowed for the award of academic honors is the student’s full program of graded courses or 12 units, whichever is the larger. Only SJSU courses for which grades are posted during the consecutive semesters, including the clearance of incompletes made during that time period, shall be used. Recognition of these Honors Scholars through the Honors Convocation was inaugurated at the university in 1962 by the three honor societies – Phi Kappa Phi, Sigma Xi and the Phi Beta Kappa Faculty Club. It is currently under the sponsorship of the University Honors and Honors Programs Committee. Note. Certain grades are not counted for honors: credit by examination, “overseas” grades, extension courses, “credit” grades and incompletes. Designation as a President’s or Dean’s Scholar does not apply to second baccalaureate, credential or graduate students.

Departmental Honors Programs
Students who have completed an approved departmental honors program receive “honors at graduation” as distinct from “university honors at graduation.” The following departments offer departmental honors programs (for details see under each department in this catalog). • Aviation • Biological Sciences • Business • Chemistry • Child Development • Computer Science • Economics • English • Environmental Studies • Geography • Geology/Earth Science • History • Journalism and Mass Communications • Kinesiology • Mathematics • Music • Occupational Therapy • Political Science • Psychology • Sociology • Theatre Arts

Outstanding Graduating Senior Awards

Student Responsibilities
Academic Integrity Policy
The University emphasizes responsible citizenship and an awareness of ethical choices inherent in human development. Academic honesty and fairness foster ethical standards for all those who depend upon the integrity of the university, its courses, and its degrees. University degrees are compromised and the public is defrauded if faculty members or students knowingly or unwittingly allow dishonest acts to be rewarded academically. This policy sets the standards for such integrity and shall be used to inform students, faculty and staff of the university’s Academic Integrity Policy. Student Role The San José State University Academic Integrity Policy requires that each student: 1. Know the rules that preserve academic integrity and abide by them at all times. This includes learning and abiding by rules associated with specific classes, exams and course assignments. 2. Know the consequences of violating the Academic Integrity Policy. 3. Know the appeal rights, and the procedures to be followed in the event of an appeal. 4. Foster academic integrity among peers. Faculty Member Role The San José State University Academic Integrity Policy requires that each faculty member: 1. Provide a clear and concise course syllabus that apprises students of the Academic Integrity Policy and the ethical standards and supporting procedures required in a course. 2. Make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct. Specifically, examinations should be appropriately proctored or monitored to prevent students from copying, using non-cited resources, or exchanging information. Examinations and answers to examination questions should be kept private. Efforts should be made to give unique and varied assignments. 3. Take action against a student in accordance with this policy when supporting evidence indicates that the student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy. 4. Comply with the rules and standards of the Academic Integrity Policy. Office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development Role The San José State University Academic Integrity Policy requires that the Student Conduct Administrator: 1. Comply with and enforce the Student Conduct Code (http://sa.sjsu. edu/student_conduct) which includes the Academic Integrity Policy. 2. Adjudicate student conduct cases and assign administrative sanctions to students who have violated the Student Conduct Code. 3. Serve as a resource for faculty, staff and students on matters of academic integrity and this policy. 4. Ensure dissemination of the policy to the campus community when changes are made to the policy or procedures.. 1.0 Definitions Of Academic Dishonesty 1.1 Cheating At SJSU, cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating at SJSU includes but is not limited to: 1.1.1. Copying, in part or in whole, from another’s test or other evaluation instrument including homework assignments, worksheets, lab reports, essays, summaries, quizzes, etc.; 1.1.2. Submitting work previously graded in another course unless this has been approved by the course instructor or by departmental policy; 1.1.3. Submitting work simultaneously presented in two courses, unless this has been approved by both course instructors or by the department policies of both departments; 1.1.4. Using or consulting, prior to, or during an examination, sources or materials not authorized by the instructor;

1.1.5. Altering or interfering with the grading process; 1.1.6. Sitting for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate; 1.1.7. Any other act committed by a student in the course of their academic work which defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions defined above. 1.2 Plagiarism At SJSU plagiarism is the act of representing the work of another as one’s own without giving appropriate credit, regardless of how that work was obtained, and/or submitting it to fulfill academic requirements. Plagiarism at SJSU includes but is not limited to: 1.2.1 The act of incorporating the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts of, and/or the specific substance of another’s work, without giving appropriate credit, and/or representing the product as one’s own work; 1.2.2 Representing another’s artistic/scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, paintings, drawing, sculptures, or similar works as one’s own. 2.0 Notification of Standards of Detecting Plagiarism 2.1 SJSU or its faculty may subscribe to and/or use plagiarism detection services. 2.2 Any plagiarism detection service with which SJSU contracts must ensure the anonymity of all submitted work to third parties. 2.3 Except for the stated purpose of storing submitted work in databases and/or using the database solely for the intended purpose of detecting plagiarism, any plagiarism detection service with which SJSU contracts shall agree that to the fullest extent possible, ownership rights of all submitted work shall remain with the work’s author and not with the plagiarism detection service. 3.0 Evaluation and Reporting When a faculty member suspects and has supporting evidence to substantiate that the behavior of a student or students fall(s) within one or both of the above sets of definitions, it is the faculty member’s responsibility to take the following steps: 3.1 Any classroom confrontation should be discreet. Faculty members should not discuss specific charges of cheating, plagiarism, or any other violations involving specific individuals in the classroom before other members of the class. 3.2 Communicate with the student concerning the alleged infraction; arrange for a conference to present documentation. Advise the student of the allegations and make them aware of the supporting evidence and the probable consequences. As a result of this conference, if the faculty member believes that the student’s response is insufficient to offset the charge of violating the Academic Integrity Policy, the instructor will inform the student of the sanctions to be assessed or recommended in accordance with section 3.0. All notes and/or discussions between the student and the faculty member will be kept confidential except as may be relevant in subsequent disciplinary proceedings or any subsequent legal actions. 3.3 Report the alleged infraction and the academic action taken to the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development on the reporting form for violations to the Academic Integrity Policy. A copy of the supporting documentation must be attached to the reporting form. 3.4 The instructor may impose the recommended penalty and make the report called for in section 3.3 without a conference when a student fails to attend a scheduled conference to discuss the alleged dishonesty, or when the apparent dishonesty is detected only near the end of the semester and the faculty makes a good-faith effort to contact the student but is unable to do so. In either case, the student’s right to appeal is preserved. 4.0 Sanctions There shall be two major classifications of sanctions that may be imposed for violations of this policy: Academic and Administrative. Academic sanctions are those actions related to the course work and/ or grades which are the province of the faculty. Administrative sanctions are concerned with a student’s status on campus and are acted on by the Office of Judicial Affairs. The imposition of either an academic or administrative sanction will not preclude the additional imposition of the other.

stu den t respon sibilities

4.1 Academic Sanctions Faculty members are responsible for determining the type of academic sanction to be applied to students involved in incidents of cheating or plagiarism. Faculty may find it helpful to consult with their department chair, senior faculty, and/or the Conduct Officer in consideration of appropriate academic sanctions. Such sanctions shall be proportional to the offense against the Academic Integrity Policy that has occurred. Usually a form of “grade modification” will be employed. Before sanctions can be employed, the faculty member must have verified the instances of academic dishonesty by personal observation and/or documentation. In all cases, the violation must be reported to the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development on the reporting form for violations to the Academic Integrity Policy. A student may be: 4.1.1 Reprimanded orally. 4.1.2 Failed in the evaluation instrument (paper or exam). 4.1.3 Reduced in course grade. 4.1.4 Failed in the course. 4.1.5 Referred for administrative sanctions. A faculty member may choose to refer a student to the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development for disciplinary action in addition to the academic sanction the faculty member has taken. 4.1.6 Faculty Discretion: Cases involving the careless or inept handling of quoted material but which fall short of the definitions of the acts of cheating and/or plagiarism as defined in Items 1.1 and 1.2 of this policy may be dealt with at the discretion of the faculty member concerned. The faculty has the discretion to deal with any other act committed by a student in the course of their academic work which defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting other students who violate this policy. 4.1.7 Academic Sanctions: For violations of sections 1.1.5 and 1.1.6, the student must be referred to the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development for administrative sanctions as outlined in 4.1.5. For violations of other sections of this policy, the instructor should choose between sanctions 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 based on the severity of the infraction. 4.2 Administrative Sanctions As stipulated in the California Administrative Code, Section 41301, cheating or plagiarism in connection with an academic program may warrant expulsion, suspension, probation or a lesser sanction. Administrative action involving academic dishonesty at SJSU is the responsibility of the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development. The Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development will respond to: 1. referrals from the faculty; 2. violations of the Academic Integrity Policy; 3. repeat violations as brought to attention by the faculty or through the centralized reports filed in the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development. Faculty members will be notified by the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development when action has been taken. The Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development shall maintain a record of students who have been reported for violating the Academic Integrity Policy. The information in this record will be used to identify and discipline students who have been reported. 5.0 Protection Of Rights Nothing in this policy is intended to deny students who come within its scope appropriate “due process,” including the right to be informed of the charges, the nature of the evidence supporting the charges, and to have a meeting with the faculty member, the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development or other decision-makers, at which time statements and evidence on behalf of the student may be submitted. Nor is it intended to deny the right to appeal, through appropriate university channels, any decision resulting from such a meeting. 5.1 Except in the case of violations of the Academic Integrity Policy, academic sanctions may be appealed through the Ombudsperson in accordance with University Policy S83-7, and ultimately to the Student Fairness Committee. Specifically, grades resulting from cheating are not a matter of student fairness. Therefore the Office of the Ombudsperson and the Student Fairness Committee should be removed from the student conduct processes regarding academic misconduct (S07-2).

5.2 When an administrative sanction is being considered, Executive Order 970, Student Disciplinary Procedures for the California State University, stipulates that a student is entitled to a hearing to determine whether violations of conduct and/or conduct-related regulations have occurred. 6.0 Threats Any threats against any member of the faculty as a consequence of implementing this policy on academic integrity will be cause for disciplinary action under Section 41301, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, in addition to civil and criminal liabilities. 7.0 Dissemination Of Information 7.1 This policy shall be published in the Schedule of Classes each semester and in the University Catalog. There shall also be copies of this policy in every department office and copies will be available to all interested parties in the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development. 7.2 Dissemination of this information shall be the responsibility of the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development. Information is available at http://sa.sjsu.edu/student_conduct/ 7.3 The Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development shall submit a statistical report on the number and type of infractions and their eventual disposition to the Academic Senate annually. 7.4 Colleges and departments are encouraged to periodically include at faculty meetings, discussion of this policy and strategies for ensuring academic integrity among students. 7.5 Department chairs and school directors should ensure that new faculty members receive a copy of this policy and a verbal explanation at the time they are given their first class assignment.

Attendance Policy
Students should attend all meetings of their classes, not only because they are responsible for material discussed therein but also because active participation is frequently essential to insure maximum benefit for all members of the classes. Attendance per se, however, shall not be used as a criterion for grading. The “Policy on Class Attendance” at San José State University requires that students attend all class sessions to ensure continued enrollment in their courses. Failure to attend classes does not guarantee that a student will be dropped from the class roster. However, the instructor is permitted to drop students who fail to attend the first class meeting and who fail to inform the instructor prior to the second class meeting of the reason for any absence and the intention to continue in the class. Instructors have the right to drop students up through the Census date. Students who wish to DROP a course must drop the course through MySJSU on or prior to the deadline to drop a course without a “W” grade. If a student is dropped by the instructor for nonattendance through the Instructor Drop Method, it will be necessary for that student to “Add” the class if he/she still desires that course. To avoid the risk of being dropped from the class roster (through the Instructor Drop Method), students who find it necessary to miss one or more classes during the first five days of the semester should inform their instructors prior to the start of classes. If students have been out of school for one or more days, they should report to their instructors upon their return to inquire about making up the work. Students who know in advance that they will miss one or more classes should inform their instructors.

(d) Procedures for Enforcing this Code The Chancellor shall adopt procedures to ensure students are afforded appropriate notice and an opportunity to be heard before the university imposes any sanction for a violation of the Student Conduct Code.

Standards for Student Conduct
CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE 41301 (a) Campus Community Values The University is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy living and learning environment for students, faculty, and staff. Each member of the campus community should choose behaviors that contribute toward this end. Students are expected to be good citizens and to engage in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon their university, to be civil to one another and to others in the campus community, and contribute positively to student and university life. (b) Grounds for Student Discipline Student behavior that is not consistent with the Student Conduct Code is addressed through an educational process that is designed to promote safety and good citizenship and, when necessary, impose appropriate consequences. The following behavior is subject to disciplinary sanctions and are the grounds upon which student discipline can be based: (1) Dishonesty, including: • • • • (A) Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty that are intended to gain unfair academic advantage. (B) Furnishing false information to a university official, faculty member, or campus office. (C) Forgery, alteration, or misuse of a university document, key, or identification instrument. (D) Misrepresenting oneself to be an authorized agent of the university or one of its auxiliaries.

(2) Unauthorized entry into, presence in, use of, or misuse of university property. (3) Willful, material and substantial disruption or obstruction of a university-related activity, or any on-campus activity. (4) Participating in an activity that substantially and materially disrupts the normal operations of the university, or infringes on the rights of members of the university community. (5) Willful, material and substantial obstruction of the free flow of pedestrian or other traffic, on or leading to campus property or an offcampus university-related activity. (6) Disorderly, lewd, indecent, or obscene behavior at a university-related activity, or directed toward a member of the university community. (7) Conduct that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person within or related to the university community, including physical abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, or sexual misconduct. (8) Hazing, or conspiracy to haze. Hazing is defined as any method of initiation or pre-initiation into a student organization or student body, whether or not the organization or body is officially recognized by an educational institution, which is likely to cause serious bodily injury to any former, current, or prospective student of any school, community college, college, university or other educational institution in this state (Penal Code 245.6), and in addition, any act likely to cause physical harm, personal degradation or disgrace resulting in physical or mental harm, to any former, current, or prospective student of any school, community college, college, university or other educational institution. The term “hazing” does not include customary athletic events or school sanctioned events. Neither the express or implied consent of a victim of hazing, nor the lack of active participation in a particular hazing incident is a defense. Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of hazing is not a neutral act, and is also a violation of this section. (9) Use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of illegal drugs or drug-related paraphernalia, (except as expressly permitted by law and university regulations) or the misuse of legal pharmaceutical drugs.

Student Conduct Procedures
SJSU is committed to ensuring a safe learning and living environment for students, faculty, and staff. The privilege of attending San José State University is accompanied by certain responsibilities to ensure this environment. The California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 41301 establishes behavioral expectations of our students to promote safety and good citizenship. The California State University issued Executive Order No. 1043, named Student Conduct Procedures, on August 3, 2009 to outline procedures for administering the Student Conduct Code as well as ensuring students’ rights to due process. Executive Order No. 1043 supersedes Executive Order No. 740. The process is intended to be educational in nature, and appropriate sanctions may be administered. Policy and Implementation At San José State University the responsibility for administering the Student Conduct Code resides with the Director of Student Conduct and Ethical Development in the Division of Student Affairs. This position is responsible for carrying out the duties in Executive Order No. 1043 assigned to the Student Conduct Administrator, including the determination of whether to initiate disciplinary action. Use of attorneys is not permitted in student conduct proceedings at San José State University. This includes the informal conferences as well as formal disciplinary hearings. (See EO 1043, Article III, Section 3 for additional details about attorneys.) The duties of the president in Executive Order No. 1043 are delegated to the Vice President for Student Affairs, including the appointment of hearing officers (Article III), review of final reports of hearing officers and issuing notice of the final decision (Article IV, Sections 5 and 6), and the imposition of interim suspension (Article VI).

41303. Conduct by Applicants for Admission
Notwithstanding any provision in this Chapter 1 to the contrary, admission or readmission may be qualified or denied to any person who, while not enrolled as a student, commits acts which, were he enrolled as a student, would be the basis for disciplinary proceedings pursuant to Sections 41301 or 41302. Admission or readmission may be qualified or denied to any person who, while a student, commits acts which are subject to disciplinary action pursuant to Section 41301 or Section 41302. Qualified admission or denial of admission in such cases shall be determined under procedures adopted pursuant to Section 41304.

41304. Student Disciplinary Procedures for the California State University
The chancellor shall prescribe, and may from time to time revise, a code of student disciplinary procedures for the California State University. Subject to other applicable law, this code shall provide for determinations of fact and sanctions to be applied for conduct which is a ground of discipline under Sections 41301 or 41302, and for qualified admission or denial of admission under Section 41303; the authority of the campus president in such matters; conduct-related determinations on financial aid eligibility and termination; alternative kinds of proceedings, including proceedings conducted by a hearing officer; time limitations; notice; conduct of hearings, including provisions governing evidence, a record and review; and such other related matters as may be appropriate.

Selective Service-Eligibility for Aid
The federal Military Selective Service Act (the “Act”) requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959 may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or a public postsecondary institution. Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office, and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service. Information on the Selective Service System is available and the registration process may be initiated online at http://www.sss.gov.

41302. Disposition of Fees: Campus Emergency; Interim Suspension
The president of the campus may place on probation, suspend, or expel a student for one or more of the causes enumerated in Section 41301. No fees or tuition paid by or for such student for the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended or expelled shall be refunded. If the student is readmitted before the close of the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended, no additional tuition or fees shall be required of the student on account of the suspension. During periods of campus emergency, as determined by the president of the individual campus, the President may, after consultation with the chancellor, place into immediate effect any emergency regulations, procedures, and other measures deemed necessary or appropriate to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and maintain educational activities. The president may immediately impose an interim suspension in all cases in which there is reasonable cause to believe that such an immediate suspension is required in order to protect lives or property and to insure the maintenance of order. A student so placed on interim suspension shall be given prompt notice of charges and the opportunity for a hearing within 10 days of the imposition of interim suspension. During the period of interim suspension, the student shall not, without prior written permission of the President or designated representative, enter any campus of the California State University other than to attend the hearing. Violation of any condition of interim suspension shall be grounds for expulsion.

Health Policies
Health Risks
Federal Law requires the university to provide a description of health risks associated with alcohol and drug abuse.

lt is the responsibility of every student, faculty member and employee to report incidents involving infractions of federal, state and local drug and alcohol laws on campus or at officially sponsored Off-Campus Activities to the Executive Vice President for Faculty Affairs, the Human Resources Officer or the Vice President for Student Affairs. As is the case in courts, lack of awareness and/or failure to comprehend the regulations are not acceptable defense of one’s actions. Available Drug or Alcohol Counseling and Treatment Programs SJSU students are encouraged to seek assistance for drug and alcohol problems at the Counseling Services or at the Student Health Center (via the Prevention Education Program). The State also maintains an Employee Assistance Program to help employees and their dependents with problems of alcohol and drugs. State Employee Assistance Program Concern 1-800-344-4222 www.concern-eap.com Counseling Services ADM 201 408-924-5910 www.sa.sjsu.edu/counseling Student Health Center HB 209 408-924-6119 www.sjsu.edu/studenthealth/

Alcohol
Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts. Moderate to high doses of alcohol caused marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence and addiction. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and convulsions. Addictions often require medical support. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics. California Alcohol and Drug Abuse Law The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act was enacted in 1953. This Act is intended to protect the safety, welfare, health, peace and morals of Californians, eliminate the unlicensed and unlawful manufacture, sale and disposal of alcoholic beverages and promote temperance in the consumption and use of alcoholic beverages. (Bus and Prof. Code 23001) A person convicted of a violation of the Alcohol and Beverage Control Act is guilty of a misdemeanor or felony depending on the violation. The Uniform Controlled Substances Act may be found in the Health and Safety Code, Section 11000-11651. This Act is the result of a growing concern over substances. Controlled Substances are divided into five Schedules and the substances under each Schedule may be found in Sections 11053-11058. Local Laws Local laws generally are consistent with Federal and State laws. University Regulations University regulations controlling student behavior may be found in the California Code of Regulations, Title V, Education, Section 41301. The Campus Alcohol Policy includes procedures for serving alcoholic beverages on campus. The University is required to post in designated areas information concerning the use of anabolic steroids. Conduct Regarding Drugs and Alcohol SJSU students, faculty and staff are expected to comply with Federal, State and Local laws governing the use of alcohol and illicit drugs on the University campus and as part of university activities both on and off the campus. These laws control the possession, use and distribution of alcohol and unlawful drugs. The sale, possession, distribution or use of illicit drugs will not be tolerated. Students, faculty and staff are expected to comply with laws governing the possession, distribution and consumption of alcohol as promulgated by the State of California and the university.

Federal Trafficking Penalties
Federal penalties for trafficking are dependent upon several conditions including the substance, amounts involved and whether the matter is a first or second offense. Penalties involve monetary sanctions and/or prison terms up to and including life in prison. Federal Penalties and Sanctions For Illegal Possession Of A Controlled Substance 21 U.S.C. 844(a) – 1st conviction: Up to 1 year imprisonment and fined at least $1,000 but not more than $100,000 or both. After 1 prior drug conviction: At least 15 days in prison, not to exceed 2 years and fined at least $2,500 but not more than $250,000 or both. After 2 or more prior drug convictions: At least 90 days in prison, not to exceed 3 years and fined at least $5,000 but not more than $250,000 or both. Special sentencing provisions for possession of crack cocaine: Mandatory at least 5 years in prison, not to exceed 20 years and fined up to $250,000 or both if: • 1st crack conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 5 grams. • 2nd crack conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 3 grams. • 3rd or subsequent crack conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 1 gram. 21 U.S.C. 853(a)(2) and 881(a)(7) – Forfeiture of personal and real property used to possess or to facilitate possession of a controlled substance if that offense is punishable by more than 1 year imprisonment. 21 U.S.C. 881 (a)(4) – Forfeiture of vehicles, boats, aircraft or any other conveyance used to transport or conceal a controlled substance. 21 U.S.C. 844a – Civil fine of up to $10,000 (pending adoption of final regulations). 21 U.S.C. 853a – Denial of Federal benefits, such as student loans, grants, contracts and professional and commercial licenses, up to 1 year for first offense, up to 5 years for second and subsequent offenses. 18 U.S.C. 922(g) – Ineligible to receive or purchase a firearm.

Tobacco
The dangers of smoking are well documented: • Tobacco, both smoked and smokeless, is the leading cause of cancers of the cheeks, gums, palate, tongue and lips. • A one-pack-a-day smoker increases his/her chances of cancer of the esophagus by as much as 500%. • Cigarette smokers are ten times more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers. • Cancer is not the only disease associated with smoking. • Cigarette smokers are twice as likely to get peptic ulcers as are non-smokers. • Nicotine is a powerful constrictor of blood vessels and small arteries and results in the restriction of oxygen flow to the heart and elsewhere. • Heart attacks and strokes are results of oxygen restriction. • Smoking more than 1/2 pack daily is also associated with higher incidence of infertility in women. • Babies born to women who smoke are lighter and smaller than those born to non-smokers. This is important because birth weight is a predictor of infant health. For tobacco cessation services, contact: Student Health Center 408-924-6120

Drug-Free Schools Statement
In accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (P.L. 102-226) and the Presidential Directive (90-92), SJSU recognizes that the abuse of alcohol and other drugs is a threat to the health and welfare of the campus community and is not compatible with an environment where education takes place. Therefore, the following principles will serve as standards of conduct. The unlawful manufacture, possession, distribution or use of a controlled substance is prohibited on campus. Violation of this standard may result in dismissal under the applicable regulations of the Title V and will be subject to civil and criminal penalties. No individual below the age of 21 and no intoxicated individual may use, purchase or possess alcoholic beverages or they may be subject to the penalties imposed by local, state and federal laws. SJSU recognizes that its policy on illicit drugs and alcohol meets the legal requirements of public laws 101-226, 100-440, 100-690 and the California Penal Code. For more explicit information on the policy and sanctions, contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs or the Student Health Center. SJSU’s Commitment to Student Health and Safety SJSU is sincerely concerned for the welfare of all members of its community. The university recognizes that college and university campuses may be particularly vulnerable to the abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Concern for the potential impairment of education and learning and the safety and good health of all members of the campus community, as well as the effective conduct of campus affairs, has led SJSU to issue this information. This information was prepared to inform members of the campus community of the problems associated with alcohol and illicit drug abuse; to indicate sources of assistance for such problems; to emphasize standards of conduct desired of students, faculty and employees; and to note sanctions associated with infractions of these standards and other illegal acts related to abuse. All colleges and universities that receive federal funds in any form are required to comply with Public Law 101-226. Partial compliance with this new law requires annual distribution of information to students and employees. This law, in addition to the Drug Free Workplace Act (Public Law 100-690) which requires applicants for federally funded grants and contracts (including certain forms of student financial aid) to certify that they will take affirmative steps to prohibit the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession and use of controlled substances in the workplace, establishes the legal requirements for SJSU.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
HIV/AIDS is a viral disease which destroys the body’s ability to fight specific illnesses. The risks of HIV/AIDS can be reduced by: • Avoiding the exchange of body fluids. HIV can be passed through the exchange of blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. • Using condoms correctly and consistently to greatly reduce the exchange of body fluids. • Reducing the number of sexual partners. • Avoiding the use of intravenous drugs or sharing needles. • Abstinence. • Communicating with sexual partners before having sex about being tested for sexually transmitted infections and protection.

Final Examination Policy
It is the general policy in most courses to have several examinations during the semester and a final examination. Supervision of examinations is the responsibility of each college dean. Exceptions to the requirement for giving a final examination must be approved by the college dean. Verifiable emergency circumstances should be recognized by the instructor as a valid reason for a student to reschedule an exam. A student having exams in courses that total nine or more units in one day may request an alternative exam date from one of his/her instructors at least three weeks prior to the last class meeting. If the student and the instructor are unable to agree on rescheduling, the department chairperson shall negotiate an appropriate solution. Rescheduled exams should be taken during the make-up period. For additional information on rules governing final examinations, consult the SJSU Schedule of Classes. Graduate students should refer to section on Final Master’s Examinations.

Nondiscrimination Policies
Campus Climate: Tolerance, Respect and Understanding
As members of a university community it is our responsibility to advocate tolerance, respect and understanding at a level above that which is minimally required of us by law. While SJSU has largely succeeded in creating a diverse campus community, it must also actively promote a civil campus climate. This may require changes in attitudes and behaviors as we develop our common bonds. Several of the convictions that might help us as members of an educational institution create these bonds are: Respect for the individual: In recognition of individual uniqueness and value, whether as students, faculty, staff or administrators, it is our commitment to discourage appropriately any actions, behaviors, communication or programs that erode this fundamental concern for the individual. Commitment to issue and problem resolution: It is the intent of the university to recognize the process of problem and issue resolution as integral to the successful achievement of its mission. SJSU is committed to addressing problems and issues in a responsive, equitable and timely manner. Open communication and feedback: The university endorses and supports an environment of open communication and feedback. In support of this principle, the university will develop internal programs to educate, evaluate and provide feedback to support the growth process, including the growth of community and civility.

Disability
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Federal laws, including sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and various state laws prohibit such discrimination. The Office for Equal Opportunity has been designated to coordinate the efforts of SJSU to comply with all relevant disability laws. Inquiries concerning compliance may be addressed to this person at 408-924-1115.

Federal Statute and Guidelines on Handling Racial Incidents at Educational Institutions
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights issued guidelines for educational institutions receiving federal assistance to follow in handling “Racial Incidents and Harassment Against Students at Educational Institutions.” These guidelines clarify conduct that violates Title VI: “Under Title VI of Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) and its implementing regulations, no individual may be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination on the ground of race, color or national origin under any program or activity that receives federal funds. Racially based conduct that has such an effect and that consists of different treatment of students on the basis of race by agents or employees, acting within the scope of their official duties, violates Title VI. In addition, the existence of a racially hostile environment that is created, encouraged, accepted, tolerated or left uncorrected ... also constitutes different treatment on the basis of race in violation of Title VI.” These same Title VI guidelines further define a “racially hostile environment” as harassing conduct (e.g. physical, verbal, graphic or written) that is sufficiently severe, pervasive or persistent so as to interfere with or limit the ability of an individual to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or privileges provided.

Sexual Orientation
By CSU Board of Trustee policy, the California State University does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.

Sexual Harassment Policy and Complaints
SJSU is committed to maintaining a working and learning environment free from sexual harassment for its students, employees and those who apply for employee or student status. Sexual harassment is conduct subject to disciplinary action. CSU policy defines sexual harassment to include “such behavior as sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature directed towards an employee, student or applicant when one or more of the following circumstances are present: • Submission to or toleration of the conduct is an explicit or implicit term or condition of appointment, employment, admission or academic evaluation • Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for a personnel decision or an academic evaluation affecting an individual • The conduct has the purpose of interfering with an employee’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, offensive or otherwise adverse working environment • The conduct had the purpose or effect of interfering with a student’s academic performance, creating an intimidating, hostile, offensive or otherwise adverse learning environment, or adversely affecting any student. All complaints dealing with sexual harassment should be directed to the Director, Office for Equal Opportunity, who has been designated to investigate such allegations.

Race, Color, Ethnicity, National Origin, Age and Religion
The California State University complies with the requirements of Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as other applicable federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination. No person shall, on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, or religion be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in any program of the California State University.

SJSU Policies
San José State University does not discriminate on the basis of accent, age, ancestry, citizenship status, color, creed, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, medical condition, national origin, race, religion or lack thereof, sex, sexual orientation, transgender and veteran’s status. This policy applies to all SJSU student, faculty and staff programs and activities.

Retaliation Protection
SJSU policies prohibit retaliation against persons who file a complaint of discrimination, or assist with or participate in an SJSU or government agency investigation, proceeding or hearing concerning discrimination complaint. Retaliation complaints can be separately filed in the Office for Equal Opportunity, 408-924-1115. For more info: www.sjsu.edu/hr.

ROTC Recruiting
This notice is to inform you that San José State University hosts the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps program on campus solely in compliance with the federal requirements contained in The Solomon Amendment. This law, passed as an attachment to the FY97 Federal Appropriations Bill, allows the government to deny federal funding, including federal student aid, to any school that does not provide access to ROTC programs and military recruiters on its campus. San José State University views the military’s policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” with regard to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals as a violation of the university’s anti-discrimination policy. San José State University is guided by the principle of equal opportunity, including the conviction that there will be no differential treatment or harassment of persons because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, pregnancy, disability, veteran’s status, or sexual orientation. The university has a firm and unambiguous commitment to the active elimination of discrimination, and the affirmative recruitment of a diverse, multi-racial community of students, faculty and staff.

Ombudsperson
While an employee of the university, the Ombudsperson is an independent agent available to any student connected with the campus who has a complaint about university policy and procedures. Violations of student rights and policies that are perceived as being unfair or outdated are two of the problem areas with which the Ombudsperson deals. The Ombudsperson also screens cases for the Student Fairness Committee.

Student Fairness Committee
The Student Fairness Committee hears complaints of violations of student rights in instructional and curricular matters, including grade appeals and, when appropriate, makes recommendations for redress. The committee also hears and pursues appropriate resolution of noninstructional student grievances concerning individual members of the faculty, administration or staff. The Ombudsperson, Administration 218, 408-924-5995, is the person to contact about the work of this committee.

C. In the absence of compelling reasons, such as instructor or clerical error, prejudice or capriciousness, the grade assigned by the instructor of record is to be considered final. D. 1. Students who believe that an appropriate grade has not been assigned should first seek to resolve the matter informally with the instructor of record (per Change of Grade section). 2. If the matter cannot be resolved informally, the student may pursue a grade appeal and present his or her case to the Student Fairness Committee (according to University Policy S07-6, Student Fairness Dispute Resolution), have it reviewed and, where justified, receive a grade correction. E. If the instructor of record does not assign a grade, or if he or she does not change an assigned grade when the necessity to do so has been established by appropriate campus procedures, it is the responsibility of other qualified faculty as determined by the appropriate campus entity. “Qualified faculty” means one or more persons with academic training comparable to the instructor of record who are presently on the faculty at that campus. F. SJSU shall maintain and implement existing policy and procedures covering the assignment of grades and grade appeals that include the following provisions: 1. The time and manner of reporting course grades including provisions for assuring that such grades have been assigned by the instructor of record. 2. Circumstances under which the instructor of record may change a grade once assigned, and procedures for making such changes. 3. A means for preliminary review of potential appeals that may resolve differences before initiation of formal proceedings. 4. Grounds for which a grade appeal is permitted. 5. One or more committees for hearing grade appeals that shall provide safeguards to assure due process for both student and instructor. Such committees shall include student membership. Student members shall not participate in assignment of grades. 6. Procedures whereby grades are assigned by other qualified faculty in circumstances where the instructor of record does not do so, including those instances where a grade change is recommended by a grade appeals committee and the instructor of record does not carry out that recommendation. 7. Specification of time limits for completion of various steps in the appeal process and of the time period during which an appeal may be brought. 8. Description of the extent of the authority of appeal committee(s), including provisions that clearly limit grade changes to instances where there is a finding that the grade was improperly assigned. 9. Limitation of committee authority to actions that are consistent with other campus and system policy. 10. A statement that there is a presumption that grades assigned are correct. Thus, the burden of proof rests with the individual who is appealing. 11. Procedures for dealing with allegations of improper procedure. 12. Assignment of authority to revise policies and procedures for grade appeals to the campus faculty senate. The campus president is responsible for ensuring that such revisions conform to the principles and provisions of this executive order. 13. Provision for annual reporting to the President and Academic Senate on the number and disposition of cases heard. Change of Grade (Not Resulting from a Grade Appeal) A. The basic principle underlying changes of grade is that all students be treated fairly and be given equal opportunities to demonstrate their academic learning and earn course grades representing that learning. Application of this criterion precludes the assignment of extra credit unless such assignments were made known and available to all students in the class. It further precludes rejudgment, afterthought, or reconsideration of an individual’s graded work unless such opportunity for change of grade is made equally available to all students in the class. B. Unless a rejudgment, afterthought, or reconsideration is applied fairly and equally for all students in a class, a change of grade request may be submitted only when there is an error in grading an assignment or course component, or in the case of a clerical, computational, transcriptional, or other administrative error. The specific nature of the error shall be recorded on the form requesting the change of grade. Once approved, the original grade will be removed from the transcript and the new (changed) grade will replace it.

Assignment of Grades and Grade Appeals
Academic Senate Policy S09-7 Assignment of Grades and Provisions for Appeals The following principles support the minimum standards governing the assignment of grades and provisions for appeals (per CSU Executive Order 1037): A. Faculty have the sole right and responsibility to provide careful evaluation and timely assignment of appropriate grades. B. There is a presumption that grades assigned are correct. It is the responsibility of anyone appealing an assigned grade to demonstrate otherwise.

stu den t righ ts

C. A change of grade request must be submitted by the department office directly to the Office of the Registrar in a timely fashion. Normally, such requests must be received by the drop deadline of the following Spring or Fall semester and will require the signatures of the instructor and the department chair. Further extension of this deadline will be considered only when there is documentation of the student’s attempt(s) to contact both the instructor and the department chair, and the late submission of the change of grade form is clearly beyond the student’s control. D. A change of grade request received after the drop deadline of the following Spring or Fall semester and within one calendar year after the posting of the grade requires the signature of the appropriate college Associate Dean in addition to those of the instructor and the department chair. E. A change of grade request received more than one year after the posting of the grade will require, additionally, the approval of the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies or Graduate Studies and Research, as appropriate. F. If a request for a change of grade is approved by the instructor but denied at a subsequent level of review, a written explanation for the denial shall be provided to the student, the faculty member, and the department chair. Integrity of the Academic Record A. All grades reported at the end of each semester are final, unless changes have been made according to the provisions given above, or those of University Policy F08-2. Students are responsible for reviewing their grades for accuracy before the beginning of the subsequent term. They are also responsible for verifying their transcripts for changes, e.g., from grade forgiveness, withdrawals, clearance of Incomplete grades, or clearance of Report Delayed (RD) grades. B. A student who believes he or she has received a grade in error should contact the instructor to verify and, if appropriate, correct the grade. If an instructor is unavailable or absent during the subsequent semester, the student should promptly consult with the department chair about the grade in question. If the department chair is unable to contact the instructor, he or she shall notify the Associate Dean of the College in writing, requesting that an extension of the grade correction deadline be granted. The Associate Dean will then contact the Office of the Registrar if the request for an extension is deemed valid. C. After a degree has been posted, no further adjustments can be made on the record except under extraordinary circumstances as determined by Graduate or Undergraduate Studies.

The campus is authorized under the Act to release “directory information” concerning students. “Directory information” may include the student’s name, address, telephone listing, electronic mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status, degrees, honors, and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student. The abovedesignated information is subject to release by the campus at any time unless the campus has received prior written objection from the student specifying what information the student requests not be released. Written objections should be sent to the Registrar’s Office. It should be noted, however, that university policy S66-20 is more restrictive than the law. SJSU policy guidelines indicate that the only directory information routinely released to outside parties without student consent is enrollment status and degree completion (if applicable). Requests for addresses and telephone numbers are not honoured, especially if requested for commercial purposes. The campus is authorized to provide access to student records to campus officials and employees who have legitimate educational interests in such access. These persons have responsibilities in the campus’s academic, administrative or service functions and have reason for accessing student records associated with their campus or other related academic responsibilities. Student records may also be disclosed to other persons or organizations under certain conditions (e.g., as part of the accreditation or program evaluation; in response to a court order or subpoena; in connection with financial aid; or to other institutions to which the student is transferring).

Career Placement Information
The Career Center may furnish, upon request, information about the employment of students who graduate from programs or courses of study preparing students for a particular career field. Any such data provided must be in a form that does not allow for the identification of any individual student. This information includes data concerning the average starting salary and the percentage of previously enrolled students who obtained employment. The information may include data collected from either graduates of the campus or graduates of all campuses in the California State University system.

University Development Programs
Directory information (see definition earlier) may be used by the university for the development of campus affiliated programs.

Privacy Rights Of Students In Education Records
The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. 1232g) and regulations adopted thereunder (34 C.F.R. 99) set out requirements designed to protect students’ privacy in their records maintained by the campus. The statute and regulations govern access to certain student records maintained by the campus and the release of such records. The law provides that the campus must give students access to most records directly related to the student, and must also provide opportunity for a hearing to challenge the records if the student claims they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. The right to a hearing under this law does not include any right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade determined by the instructor. The law generally requires the institution to receive a student’s written consent before releasing personally identifiable data about the student. The institution has adopted a set of policies and procedures governing implementation of the statute and the regulations. Copies of these policies and procedures may be obtained at (designate location on campus). Among the types of information included in the campus statement of policies and procedures are: (1) the types of student records maintained and the information they contain; (2) the official responsible for maintaining each type of record; (3) the location of access lists indicating persons requesting or receiving information from the record; (4) policies for reviewing and expunging records; (5) student access rights to their records; (6) the procedures for challenging the content of student records; (7) the cost to be charged for reproducing copies of records; and (8) the right of the student to file a complaint with the Department of Education. The Department of Education has established an office and review board to investigate complaints and adjudicate violations. The designated office is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5920.

Student Identification Information
SJSU ID Number San José State University is concerned about keeping your personal data private. We are required to use Social Security numbers to process payroll; award financial aid and document fees paid for tax relief purposes. However, for all other purposes, we will use your SJSU ID number for identification, rather than your Social Security Number. Use of Social Security Number Applicants are required to include their correct social security numbers in designated places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6109). The university uses the social security number to identify students and their records including identification for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the university to file information returns that include the student’s social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes.

The California State University

T

 he individual California State Colleges were brought together as a system by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960. In 1972 the system became the California State University and Colleges, and in 1982 the system became the California State University. Today the campuses of the CSU include comprehensive and polytechnic universities and, since July 1995, the California Maritime Academy, a specialized campus. The oldest campus-San José State University-was founded in 1857 and became the first institution of public higher education in California. The newest—CSU Channel Islands— opened in fall 2002, with freshmen arriving in fall 2003. Responsibility for the California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Trustees appoint the Chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system, and the Presidents, who are the chief executive officers of the respective campuses. The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the Presidents develop systemwide policy, with implementation at the campus level taking place through broadly based consultative procedures. The Academic Senate of the California State University, made up of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy to the Board of Trustees through the Chancellor. Academic excellence has been achieved by the California State University through a distinguished faculty whose primary responsibility is superior teaching. While each campus in the system has its own unique geographic and curricular character, all campuses, as multipurpose institutions, offer undergraduate and graduate instruction for professional and occupational goals as well as broad liberal education. All campuses require for graduation a basic program of “General Education Requirements” regardless of the type of bachelor’s degree or major field selected by the student. The CSU offers more than 1,800 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in some 357 subject areas. Many of these programs are offered so that students can complete all upper division and graduate requirements by part-time, late afternoon, and evening study. In addition, a variety of teaching and school service credential programs are available. A limited number of doctoral degrees are offered jointly with the University of California and with private institutions in California. In 2005, the CSU was authorized to independently offer educational doctorate (Ed.D.) programs, and a total of 10 CSU campuses currently have Ed.D. programs. Enrollments in fall 2008 totaled almost 450,000 students, who were taught by some 24,000 faculty. The system awards about half of the bachelor’s degrees and a third of the master’s degrees granted in California. Nearly 2.5 million students have been graduated from CSU campuses since 1961.

Average Support Cost Per Full-Time Equivalent Student and Sources of Funds
The total support cost per full-time equivalent student (FTES) includes the expenditures for current operations, including payments made to students in the form of financial aid, and all fully reimbursed programs contained in state appropriations. The average support cost is determined by dividing the total cost by the number of full-time equivalent students. The total CSU 2009-10 final budget amounts were $2,337,952,000 from state General Fund appropriations (not including capital outlay funding), $1,593,422,000 from State University Fee (SUF) revenue, $300,342,000 from other fee revenues and reimbursements for a total of $4,231,716,000. The number of projected 2009-10 full-time equivalent students (FTES) is 357,403. The number of full-time equivalent students is determined by dividing the total academic student load by 15 units per term (the figure used here to define a full-time student’s academic load). The 2009-10 average support cost per full-time equivalent student based on General Fund appropriation and State University Fee revenue only is $11,000 and when including all sources as indicated below is $11,840. Of this amount, the average student fee support per FTES is $5,298, which includes all fee revenue in the CSU Operating Fund (e.g. State University Fee, nonresident tuition, application fees, and other miscellaneous fees).
