Program Applications

Applying to graduate programs at San Diego State University is a multiple step process -- including the Cal State Apply university application, submission of official transcripts and test scores, and (in most cases) a separate program application which may require a statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and other materials.

Program-specific applications are collected by each graduate program -- not Graduate Admissions. Please review the individual academic program for specific instructions, requirements and deadlines.

Questions regarding program specific documents should be directed to the department. Contact information for each department and links to the department website can be found on the academic program page for your major.

Information about the university application (Cal State Apply), can be found on the Graduate Admissions website.

GRE/GMAT Information: Graduate Admissions Policy Changes

San Diego State University has suspended the GRE/GMAT requirement as a campus-wide application requirement for all graduate programs. However, some programs may require the exam for their supplemental application. Please visit the program's website to see if the GRE/GMAT is required.
