San José State University (commonly referred to as San Jose State or SJSU) is a comprehensive public university located in San Jose, California, United States. It is the founding school of the 23 campus California State University (CSU) system, and holds the distinction of being the oldest public institution of higher education on the West Coast of the United States.[11][12]

Located in downtown San Jose, the SJSU main campus is situated on 154 acres (62 ha), or roughly 19 square blocks. SJSU offers 134 bachelor's and master's degrees with 110 concentrations and five credential programs with 19 concentrations.[13][14] The university also offers three joint doctoral degree programs and one independent doctoral program as of 2014.[15] SJSU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).[16]

SJSU's total enrollment was 32,773 in fall 2015, including nearly 6,000 graduate students.[6] As of fall 2015, graduate student enrollment at SJSU was the highest of any campus in the CSU system.[6] SJSU's student population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the nation, with large Asian and Hispanic enrollments, as well as the highest foreign student enrollment of all master's institutions in the United States.[17]

As of fall 2014, the top five most popular undergraduate majors at SJSU were (in descending order of popularity): psychology, accounting, marketing, business management and biological sciences.[18] As of fall 2014, the top five most popular graduate programs were (in descending order of popularity): software engineering, electrical engineering, library and information sciences, social work and occupational therapy.[18]

More San José State University alumni are hired by Silicon Valley firms than graduates of any other college or university,[19][20] and philanthropic support of SJSU is among the highest in the CSU system.[21] SJSU sports teams are known as the Spartans, and compete in the Mountain West Conference (MWC) in NCAA Division I.

History

Establishment

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

What is now San José State University was originally established in 1857 as the Minns Evening Normal School in San Francisco, founded by George W. Minns.[11][22]

An 1880s lithograph of the original California State Normal School campus in San Jose.

In 1862, by act of the California legislature, Minns Evening Normal School became the California State Normal School and graduated 54 women from a three-year program.[11]

The school eventually moved to San Jose in 1871, and was given Washington Square Park at Fourth and San Carlos Streets, where the campus remains to this day.

In 1881, a large bell was forged to commemorate the school. The bell was inscribed with the words "California State Normal School, A.D. 1881," and would sound on special occasions until 1946 when the college obtained new chimes.[23] The original bell appears on the SJSU campus to this day, and is still associated with various student traditions and rituals.

The California State Normal School Bell, forged in 1881, still graces the San Jose campus.

In August 1882, a southern branch campus of the California State Normal School opened in Los Angeles, which later became the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[24][25] The southern branch campus would remain under administrative control of the San Jose campus until 1919, when by act of the California state legislature the campus became the second campus of the University of California and was renamed the Southern Branch of the University of California.[26]

In 1921, the California State Normal School changed its name to the State Teachers College at San Jose. In 1935, the State Teachers Colleges became the California State Colleges, and the school's name was changed again, this time to San Jose State College. In 1972, upon meeting criteria established by the Board of Trustees and the Coordinating Council for Higher Education, SJSC was granted university status, and the name was changed to California State University, San Jose.[27]

Finally, in 1974, the California legislature voted to change the school's name to San José State University.[27]

Historical milestones

  • In 1930, the Justice Studies Department was founded as a two-year police science degree program. It holds the distinction of offering the first policing degree in the United States. A stone monument and plaque are displayed close to the site of the original Police School near Tower Hall.[28]
  • In 1942, the old gym (now named Yoshihiro Uchida Hall, after SJSU judo coach Yosh Uchida) was used to register and collect Japanese Americans before sending them to internment camps. Coincidentally, Uchida's parents and siblings were among those processed in the building.[29]
  • In 1963, in an effort to save Tower Hall from demolition, SJSU students and alumni organized testimonials before the State College Board of Trustees, sent telegrams, and provided signed petitions. As a result of those efforts, the Tower, a prime campus landmark and SJSU icon, was refurbished and reopened in 1966. The Tower was again renovated and restored in 2007. Tower Hall is registered with the California Office of Historic Preservation.[30][31]
  • During the 1960s and early 1970s, San Jose State College witnessed a rise in political activism and civic awareness among its student body, including major student protests against the Vietnam War. One of the largest campus protests took place in 1967 when Dow Chemical Company - a major manufacturer of napalm used in the war - came to campus to conduct job recruiting. An estimated 3,000 students and bystanders surrounded the Seventh Street Administration building, and more than 200 students and teachers lay down on the ground in front of the recruiters.[32]
  • In 1972–1973, the economics department experienced political turmoil as the administration conducted a purge of left-leaning professors. For several years thereafter, the economics department was under censor by the American Association of University Professors.[33]
  • In 1982 the English department began sponsoring the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.[34]
  • In 1999, San Jose State and the City of San Jose agreed to combine their main libraries to form a joint city-university library located on campus, the first known collaboration of this type in the United States. The combined library faced opposition, with critics stating the two libraries have very different objectives and that the project would be too expensive. Despite opposition, the $177 million project proceeded, and the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Library opened on-time and on-budget in 2003. The new library has won several national awards since its initial opening.[35]
  • During its 2006-2007 fiscal year, SJSU received a record $50+ million in private gifts and $84 million in capital campaign contributions.[36]
  • In 2007, SJSU president Don Kassing launched SJSU's first-ever comprehensive capital fundraising campaign dubbed "Acceleration: the Campaign for San Jose State University." The original goal of the multi-year campaign was to raise $150 million, but was later increased to $200 million because of the rapid success of the campaign. The campaign would eventually exceed its goal one year earlier than anticipated, raising more than $208 million by August 2013.[37][38]
  • In 2008, SJSU received a CASE WealthEngine Award in recognition of raising over $100 million. SJSU was one of approximately 50 institutions nationwide honored by CASE in 2008 for overall performance in educational fundraising.[39]
  • In 2012, the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, awarded SJSU $73.3 million to participate in the development of systems for improving the safety and efficiency of air and space travel. NASA scientists, along with SJSU faculty members and graduate students, will collaborate on this effort, funded by the largest federal award in SJSU history.[40]

Campus

Aerial view of San Jose State campus.

The SJSU main campus comprises approximately 55 buildings situated on a rectangular,154-acre (62.3 ha) area in downtown San Jose. The campus is bordered by San Fernando Street to the north, San Salvador Street to the south, South 4th Street to the west, and South 10th Street to the east. The south campus, which is home to many of the school's athletics facilities, is located approximately 1.5 mi (2.4 km) south of the main campus on South 7th Street.

California State Normal School did not receive a permanent home until it moved from San Francisco to San Jose in 1871. The original California State Normal School campus in San Jose consisted of several rectangular, wooden buildings with a central grass quadrangle. The wooden buildings were destroyed by fire in 1880 and were replaced by interconnected stone and masonry structures of roughly the same configuration in 1881. These buildings were declared unsafe following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and were being torn down when an aftershock of the magnitude that was predicted to destroy the buildings occurred and no damage was observed. Accordingly, demolition was stopped, and the portions of the buildings still standing were made into four halls: Tower Hall, Morris Dailey Auditorium, Washington Square Hall, and Dwight Bentel Hall. These four structures remain standing to this day, and are the oldest buildings on campus.

Beginning in the fall of 1994, the on-campus segments of San Carlos Street, Seventh Street and Ninth Street were closed to automobile traffic and converted to pedestrian walkways and green belts within the campus. San Carlos Street was renamed Paseo San Carlos, Seventh Street became El Paseo de César Chávez, and Ninth Street is now called the Ninth Street Plaza. The project was completed in 1996.

Completed in 1999, the Business Classroom Project was a $16 million renovation of the James F. Boccardo Business Education Center.

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library.

Completed in 1999, the $1.5 million Heritage Gateway project was unveiled. The privately funded project featured construction of eight oversized gateways around the main campus perimeter.

In the fall of 2000, the SJSU Police Department, which is part of the larger California State University Police Department, opened a new on-campus, multi-level facility on 7th Street.

The $177 million Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, which opened its doors on August 1, 2003, won the Library Journal's 2004 Library of the Year award, the publication’s highest honor.[43] The King Library represents the first collaboration of its kind between a university and a major U.S. city. The library is eight stories high, has 475,000 square feet (44,100 m2) of floor space, and houses approximately 1.3 million volumes.[44] San Jose's first public library occupied the same site from 1901 to 1936, and SJSU's Wahlquist Library occupied the site from 1961 to 2000.

In 2006, a $2 million renovation of Tower Hall was completed. Tower Hall (California Historical Landmarks in Santa Clara County, California No. 417) is the oldest and most recognizable building on campus. It was dedicated in 1910 after previous campus structures were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. Tower Hall, along with Morris Dailey Auditorium, Washington Square Hall, and Dwight Bentel Hall are the four oldest buildings on campus.[45]

In September 2010 a $90 million expansion and renovation of the SJSU student union commenced. The project added approximately 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) including construction of new ballrooms, food court, theater, meeting rooms, and student program spaces. The expansion phase of the project was completed in June 2014. The renovation phase of the project is scheduled for completion in August 2015.[46]

Construction of a new, three-story, 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2) on-campus health center at 7th Street and Paseo de San Carlos was completed in March 2015. The building houses the Student Health Center, Student Affairs office, Counseling Services and Wellness Center. The project was completed at a cost of over $36 million.[46][47][48]

In August 2015, a $55 million renovation of the Spartan Complex was completed.[46] The Spartan Complex houses open recreation spaces, gymnasia, an indoor aquatics center, the kinesiology department, weight rooms, locker rooms, dance and judo studios, and other classroom space. The primary project objectives were to upgrade the structures to make them compliant with current building codes, correct ADA deficiencies, correct fire safety deficiencies, expand and modify existing structures, and hazmat abatement.

Residence Halls

The SJSU on-campus housing community comprises seven residence halls, which can accommodate a combined total of 3,500 students. The residence halls are identified as follows:

  • The Bricks, also referred to as "Classics," are a community of three red brick residence halls reserved for first-year freshmen students only. The Bricks offer smaller living-learning environments for up to 250 residents each. The Bricks are: Hoover Hall, Royce Hall, and Washburn Hall.[49]
  • Joe West, also referred to as a "Classic," is a 12-story residence hall reserved for first-year freshmen and sophomore students. This hall houses a total of 650 students.[50]
  • In 2002, three of SJSU's six red brick residence halls were demolished and replaced with the new Campus Village residence complex. The $200 million housing facility comprises three buildings ranging from seven to 15 stories tall. The project increased student capacity for on-campus housing to roughly 3,500, and provides housing options for first-year students, non-freshmen, upper-classmen, graduate students, faculty, staff and guests of the university. Campus Village officially opened in 2005. The facility also includes a two-story underground parking garage for on-campus residents.[51]
  • Construction of a new 850-bed student residence hall is currently underway as of June 2014. The building is part of the new Campus Village (Phase 2) construction project. The new on-campus structure will be located near the intersection of 9th Street and Paseo de San Carlos. It is expected to be a 10-story high rise building with a projected cost of $126 million. The project will increase total on-campus housing capacity to 4,350. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2016.[46][52]

Additional on-campus facilities

In 2007, the School of Information opened a virtual campus in Second Life, complete with faculty offices, classrooms, student lounge and library e-resources.[53]

SJSU is home to the 10,000-square-foot (930 m2), three-story Nuclear Science Facility. It is the only nuclear science facility of its kind in the California State University system.[54]

Located on the main campus, the SJSU aquatic center features an outdoor Olympic-size swimming pool. The pool is open year-round and is believed to be among the largest outdoor pools in California.[55]

Located on the main campus, The Event Center Arena seats approximately 5,000 people for athletic events and over 6,500 for concerts, and features an attached recreation center that includes a basketball court, racquetball courts, a weight room and cardio equipment. The recreation center also hosts over 40 hours of group fitness classes per week during the fall and spring academic semesters.[56]

The SJSU Student Union is a four-story, stand-alone facility that features a food court, the Spartan Bookstore, a multi-level study area, ballrooms, a bowling alley, music room, and a large game room. In June 2014, the first phase of a $90 million expansion and renovation project of the SJSU student union was completed. The second and final phase of the project is scheduled for completion in August 2015.[46]

A new student recreation and aquatic center is currently in the planning stages. At a projected cost of $130 million, the new facility will house a gymnasium, weight and fitness center, exercise rooms, rock climbing wall, sports club organizations, and competition and recreation pools with support spaces. The new facility will be located on the main campus at the corner of 7th Street and San Carlos close to the existing aquatic and student recreation centers. Construction of the new facility is tentatively scheduled to begin in August 2016 with an estimated completion date set for December 2018.[46]

South campus

Many of SJSU's athletics facilities, including Spartan Stadium and Blethen Field (baseball), along with the athletics department administrative offices and multiple training and practice facilities, are located on the 62-acre (25.1 ha) south campus approximately 1.5 mi (2.4 km) south of the main campus near 7th Street. The south campus also is home to student overflow parking. Shuttle buses run between the main campus and south campus every 10 to 15 minutes Monday through Friday.

A north end zone building addition is planned for Spartan Stadium and is projected to commence in 2015-2016 at an approximate cost of $38 million. The 61,000 square feet (5,700 m2) facility will house sports medicine and athletic training space, a football team locker room, football coaching staff offices, meeting rooms, a hall of fame, and an auditorium. The facility will serve the day-to-day operations of the athletic department, and provide hospitality space on game days. It will be located at the South Campus site, north of Spartan Stadium.[57]

In April 2014, a new $76 million master plan to renovate the entire South Campus was unveiled. The plan calls for construction of a 9-hole golf facility, new baseball and softball stadia, new track and field facilities, new soccer and tennis facilities, and three beach volleyball courts. The project is currently in the planning stages.[58]

Off-campus facilities

Admission to SJSU is based on a combination of the applicant's high school cumulative grade point average (GPA) and standardized test scores. These factors are used to determine the applicant's California State University (CSU) eligibility index. More specifically, the eligibility index is a weighted combination of high school grade point average during the final three years of high school and a score on either the SAT or ACT.

The CSU eligibility index is calculated by using either the SAT or ACT as follows:

(Sum of SAT scores in mathematics and critical reading) + (800 x high school GPA) or (10 x ACT composite score without the writing score) + (200 x high school GPA)

For Fall 2015, a total of 30,583 first-time, first-year (Freshmen) applications were submitted. A total of 16,890 applicants were accepted (55.2%), with 3,461 enrolling.[108]

Among first-time, first-year (freshmen) students who enrolled in fall 2015, SAT scores for the middle 50% ranged from 450-570 for critical reading, 470-610 for math, and 450-560 for writing. ACT composite scores for the middle 50% ranged from 20–26.[108] The average high school GPA for incoming freshmen was 3.40.[108]

In recent years, enrollment at SJSU has become impacted in all undergraduate majors, which means the university no longer has the enrollment capacity to accept all CSU-eligible applicants, including some from local high schools and community colleges. Although an applicant may meet the minimum CSU admission requirements, CSU-eligible applicants are no longer guaranteed admission.[113][114]

The university maintains a cross-enrollment agreement with National Hispanic University. Students enrolled at one institution are able to enroll in up to 6 credits per semester at the other institution. Additionally, students may transfer between institutions with up to 60 credits.

Graduation and retention rates

SJSU granted 5,206 undergraduate degrees during the 2011-2012 academic year. The average number of years to degree completion for these students was 4.27. SJSU granted 2,351 graduate degrees during the 2011-2012 academic year. The average number of years to degree completion for these students was 2.59.[18]

Among first-time freshmen students who enrolled at SJSU in fall 2009, 56.6% graduated within six years. Among new undergraduate transfer students who enrolled at SJSU in fall 2012, 58.6% graduated within three years. Among first-time graduate students who enrolled at SJSU in fall 2012, 66.4% graduated within three years.[18]

The percent of fall 2014 students returning in fall 2015 was 86.1% for full-time freshman students, 86.2% for new undergraduate transfer students, and 89.3% for first-time graduate students.[18]

Faculty and research

In the Fall of 2013, San José State University employed 1,731 faculty, 614 of whom (or about 35.5%) were tenured or on the tenure track.[115]

According to the National Science Foundation's latest published survey data (2013), San Jose State's research and development expenditures totaled $38.3 million, placing it second in total R&D expenditures out of all 23 California State University (CSU) campuses, and 212th out of 643 colleges and universities nationwide. The NSF survey is an annual census of institutions that expended at least $150,000 in separately budgeted R&D in the fiscal year.[116][117]

According to the National Science Foundation's latest published survey data (2012), San Jose State's federally-funded R&D expenditures totaled $18.3 million, placing it 187th out of 1,067 colleges and universities nationwide for total federal obligations.[118]

Research collections located at SJSU include the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies and the Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies. SJSU research partnerships include the SJSU Metropolitan Technology Center at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, the Cisco Networking Laboratory, and the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. SJSU is also home to the Mineta Transportation Institute.

Since 2001, the university has operated the Survey and Policy Research Institute (SPRI), which conducts the quarterly, high-profile California Consumer Confidence Survey and many other research projects.

In spring 2007, an SJSU engineering professor and his students made headlines with their development of the ZEM (Zero EMissions) Car, a Human Hybrid Powered Vehicle (HHPV). The vehicle won the National I2P (Idea-to-Product) Competition for EPICS and Social Entrepreneurship at Princeton University.[119] The ZEM car is the first of its kind to be powered by human, solar, and electric energy.

Since 2009, the Department of Kinesiology has operated the Timpany Center (located at 730 Empey Way), a non-profit therapeutic facility open to all and owned by the County of Santa Clara, dedicated to the health and fitness of those with a disability or age-related concerns.

In 2012, the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, awarded SJSU $73.3 million to participate in the development of systems for improving the safety and efficiency of air and space travel. NASA scientists, along with SJSU faculty members and graduate students, will collaborate on this effort, funded by the largest federal award in SJSU history.[40]

On 21 July 2012, SJSU launched its first miniaturized satellite used for space research, TechEdSat, in a partnership with the NASA Ames Research Center.[120]

SJSU is a member institution of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program.[121]

Approximately 3,500 students live in campus housing, and community impact studies show an estimated 5,000 more students live within easy walking or biking distance of the campus.[122] Additionally, approximately 45% of all first-year (freshman) students live in campus residence facilities.[124]

As of 2014, there are approximately 400 active student organizations at SJSU. These include academic and honorary organizations, cultural and religious organizations, special interest organizations, fraternities and sororities, and a wide variety of club sports organizations.

Fraternities and sororities

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Fraternities and sororities have existed at SJSU since 1896.[125] SJSU is home to 43 social fraternity and sorority chapters managed by Student Involvement. Eighteen of them maintain chapter homes in the residential community east of campus along South 10th and 11th streets, north of campus along San Fernando Street, or south of campus along San Salvador Street, South 8th Street, and East Reed Street, in downtown San Jose.[126] An additional twenty-six fraternities are co-ed and are either major-related, honors-related, or community service related. Approximately 6% of male students join social fraternities, and 6% of female students join social sororities.

Spartan Marching Band

The Spartan Marching Band comprises students from every field of study on campus, from first year undergraduates through graduate students, as well as several "open university" members. At each home football game, the Spartan Marching Band performs a completely new halftime show, plus a pre-game show and a post-game concert. The band reflects all the color and fanfare of major university sports pageantry. The band is unofficially known as "The Pride of the Spartans," and generally performs with a color guard and dance team.[127]

Spartan Squad

Spartan Squad official logo*

Founded in 2005, the Spartan Squad is the official student booster program at San Jose State. The Spartan Squad is run by the Associated Students and is open to all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at San Jose State. Its stated mission is to increase student attendance at sporting events and cultivate school pride throughout the campus community. The Spartan Squad members are easily recognized wearing the group's signature gold T-shirts designed by San Jose State graphic design student Dang Nguyen. Class of 2006 graduates Matthew Olivieri and Brad Villeggiante are credited with founding the group.

Student press

The school newspaper, The Spartan Daily, was founded in 1934 and is published four days a week when classes are in session. The publication follows a broadsheet format and has a daily print circulation of over 6,000, as well as a daily on-line edition. The newspaper is produced by journalism and advertising students enrolled in SJSU's School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

Update News is a weekly, student-produced television newscast that airs every weekend on KICU, Channel 36 in San Jose. The newscast is produced by San Jose State broadcast journalism students, and has aired in the Bay Area since 1982.[128] Update News also features a daily live webcast.

Equal Time is a news magazine show produced by the San Jose State School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Each half-hour episode examines a different issue in depth, and ends with a roundtable discussion featuring professors and other experts in search of solutions. Equal Time airs Saturday afternoons on KQED+ (Channel 54 or Comcast Channel 10) in the Bay Area.[129]

Established in 1963, KSJS, 90.5 FM, is the university's student-run radio station. KSJS features live broadcasts of San Jose State athletic events, various types of music including electronic, urban, jazz, subversive rock, and rock en espanol, as well as specialty talk shows.[130]

Athletics

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

California State Normal School football 1910

San José State University has participated in athletics since it first fielded a baseball team in 1890. SJSU sports teams are known as the Spartans, and compete in the Mountain West Conference (MWC) in NCAA Division I.

San José State University sports teams have won NCAA national titles in track and field, golf, boxing, fencing and tennis.[131] As of January 2014, SJSU has won 10 NCAA national Division 1 team championships[132] and produced 50 NCAA national Division 1 individual champions.[131] SJSU also has achieved an international reputation for its judo program, winning 47 National Collegiate Judo Association (NCJA) championships in 53 years (as of 2014).[133][134]

SJSU alumni have won 19 Olympic medals (including seven gold medals) dating back to the first gold medal won by Willie Steele in track and field in the 1948 Summer Olympics. Alumni also have won medals in swimming, judo and boxing.

San Jose State vs. Utah at Spartan Stadium - 2009

The track team coached by "Bud" Winter earned San Jose the nickname "Speed City," and produced Olympic medalists and social activists Lee Evans, John Carlos and Tommie Smith. Smith and Carlos are perhaps best remembered for giving the raised fist salute from the medalist's podium during the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.

After an 11-2 finish in 2012, SJSU's football team achieved its first-ever BCS ranking and first national ranking since 1990.[135] SJSU was ranked #21 in both the 2012 post-season Associated Press Poll and the USA Today Coaches' Poll.

Traditions

A heated debate was held in 1925 over the effort of some students to change the school colors from gold and white to purple and white. Tradition won out, and it was decided to keep the original colors—gold and white. This same issue came before the students again in 1946, when after many weeks of discussion the question was put to another vote. Once again, tradition won.[136]

Each year during the fall semester SJSU hosts a series of events where students can watch films at the Campus MovieFest Finale and show school pride at the Fire on the Fountain leading up to the homecoming football game at Spartan Stadium.[137]

Club sports

In addition to its various NCAA Division I sports programs, San José State University also has a very active and thriving club sports community consisting of 25 sports and 30 teams.[138] Many of the club sports teams are run and organized by students, although some of the more established teams enjoy strong alumni support. The list of club sports active at SJSU includes:

Archery, badminton, bowling, boxing, cycling, dance, ACHA Division II and Division lll ice hockey, judo, MCLA Division III men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, mountain biking, power lifting, quidditch, roller hockey, men's rugby, salsa, men's & women's soccer, softball, swimming, table tennis, track & field, triathlon, ultimate frisbee, men's & women's volleyball, men's water polo, and wrestling.[139]
