School mission: From its beginnings as a normal school in 1857 that trained teachers for the developing frontier, San Jose State University has matured into a metropolitan university offering more than 134 bachelor's and master's degrees with 110 concentrations. SJSU powers the Silicon Valley, providing more engineering, science and business graduates to this high tech region than another college or university in the nation. Other popular programs include the visual and performing arts, teacher preparation, nursing, journalism, social sciences and social work. San Jose State is conveniently located on 154 acres in downtown San Jose, midway between San Francisco and the Monterey/Carmel area at the sunny southern end of San Francisco Bay, and is easily accessible from area freeways. The campus is a cultural crossroads, with a highly diverse student body. http://www.sjsu.edu.
