Applying to The Lucas Graduate School of Business
While the Lucas Graduate School of Business office makes the final admissions decision, the overall admissions process for all SJSU graduate programs is managed by the SJSU Graduate Studies and Research Office.
The SJSU Graduate Programs Application Procedure:
Your application can ONLY be submitted online via the CSUMentor website. You must submit a payment of USD$55.00. Payment Options: Personal check (drawn on a U.S. bank or an international bank with a U.S. branch), cashier's check, or credit/debit card via the CSUMentor website.
Note: While the recommended payment method is a credit/debit card, if you are sending a personal check or a cashier's check, please make it payable to SJSU and send it directly to the following address:
San José State University
Graduate Studies and Research
One Washington Square
San José CA 95192-0025
Application Status:
You may check your status online using the user ID and password provided by Graduate Studies and Research at MYSJSU. Your user ID and password will be created one week after you submit your application.
Degree Evaluation:
Your file is complete when all necessary documents are received by the Graduate Studies and Research Office. The University evaluator will verify that your undergraduate degree is equivalent to a U.S four-year bachelor’s degree and that the grades for the last 60 semester units or 90 quarter units (approximately the last two academic years) are equivalent to approximately a 3.0 GPA. Graduate studies and Research cannot pre-evaluate degree prior to admission. An applicant must go through the formal application process to find out if the degree earned is equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree
Your completed application is then referred to the Lucas Graduate School of Business for final review and an admissions decision. The Lucas Graduate School of Business Office reviews your transcript(s), grade point average, GMAT score, and statement of purpose. Applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Applicants who are denied admission are encouraged to reapply after raising their GPA or GMAT scores.
