College of Science
The College of Science (CoS) continues in its 85-year tradition of providing science and technology graduates who power Silicon Valley, enrolling over 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students this year.
Our College transforms its majors into qualified science professionals for a global and regional Silicon Valley workforce and prepares them for advanced (graduate) training and life-long learning. Core science education is provided for engineers, health care professionals, K-12 teachers, and other technical fields, as well as basic mathematics and science skills to students in non-science majors. Our students are instilled with a general awareness of science and technology, necessary to be an informed citizen in our highly technical, culturally diverse society.

Programs in the College of Social Sciences prepare students for work and life in Silicon Valley and a rapidly changing world. Our eleven departments provide training for careers in counseling, ergonomics, environmental impact assessment and restoration, computerized mapping, public administration, economic analysis, internet communication, and countless other positions in business, government, teaching, and human services.
Major courses of study emphasize the contributions of the many cultures that form our community. Internships are encouraged to help students relate academic work to the opportunities and needs of this diverse region. Completion of one of our undergraduate majors also provides an excellent foundation for advanced work in one of the disciplines or at a professional school such as law or business.
New technologies increasingly improve our instruction and link us to the innovative industry of our region and to the educational resources of the world, but personal interaction between students and faculty is still prized within the College of Social Sciences. Capable and interesting teachers, active student clubs, and small classes provide ideal environments for learning.

Named as one of the four most transformative universities in the country, San José State has been meeting the evolving needs of the community for more than 160 years. The Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering at San José State began modestly in 1946 with initial programs designed to support construction, manufacturing, and food processing. Today, this vibrant college community has grown to nearly 400 faculty and staff supporting more than 7,000 local and international students. Together they lead the charge towards addressing real-world, global challenges such as designing smart cities, reenvisioning transportation, securing cyberspace, facilitating space technology research, engineering intelligent medicines, and providing practical solutions to underserved populations. The Davidson College of Engineering prepares graduates from all walks of life to be career-ready collaborative team players with a strong sense of cultural awareness and social responsibility. The college launches more graduates into Silicon Valley careers than any other college or university. With its hands-on learning environments, applied research opportunities, and interdisciplinary projects with industry professionals, the Davidson College of Engineering continues to earn top rankings among national public engineering programs. Our students are, indeed, the right engineers in the right place, at the right time.
