Graduate Programs

In Silicon Valley, San José State is known as the dream maker, and the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering is dedicated to helping its graduate students achieve their academic and professional dreams. As a graduate student, you want to gain in-depth knowledge, conduct research, work closely with faculty, get ahead in your career. We can help you do this.

Nationally ranked among the top 20 master’s degree institutions by U.S. News and World Report, the college’s seven departments and the office of Graduate and Extended Studies offer a plethora of master’s engineering programs. Listed below are the Davidson College of Engineering's departments and their master's degree program(s). In addition, the off-campus graduate programs as well as the interdisciplinary MSE degree are offered through the Davidson College of Engineering’s Graduate and Extended Studies office, which is also listed below.

There’s no better way to immerse yourself in engineering than at SJSU. Located in the midst of Silicon Valley, the only public university at the epicenter of the high-tech industry, the Davidson College of Engineering provides real-world engineering education. Its full-time faculty have formed valuable industry relationships, and its part-time faculty are dedicated teachers, many of whom work in Silicon Valley.

We understand that many of our students work part or full-time and want the latest, cutting-edge programs. Keeping up with current developments in the engineering and science curriculum, we are pleased to offer a new concentration in Biomedical Devices and a specialization in Bioinformatics/Bioengineering for graduate students.

The college also realizes that its students have families and jobs in the local area. In an effort to help its graduate students remain in Silicon Valley and pursue research, the college recently signed an agreement with Mississippi State University (MSU) outlining the MSU/SJSU Engineering Ph.D. Gateway Program.

No matter what stage you are in your career, SJSU is the place to make your dreams a reality...
