San Jose State University (SJSU) operates on a semester system with intakes in Fall and Spring. The Fall semester typically begins in August, with application deadlines ranging from October 1 to November 30 of the prior year, depending on the program. The Spring semester starts in January, with deadlines usually between August 1 and October 1 of the preceding year.
Some programs may have earlier or rolling deadlines, so verifying specific departmental requirements is essential. International students should account for additional time for visa processing. SJSU’s website or the Cal State Apply portal provides the most current deadline information.
