How to Apply to a Graduate Program

We are happy that you're considering applying to a graduate program in the College of Education. Please review SDSU Graduate Admission Criteria before you proceed.

Most Graduate programs require 2 applications-- one to the University (Cal State Apply--step 1 below) and one to the program (Program application--step 4 below)--Applications for Fall 2022 open October 1, 2021

Use these steps to make sure you complete the application process for our programs:.

Complete Required Steps to Admission

All applicants are required to submit the Cal State Apply application to be considered for Graduate Admission at SDSU.

All application links needed to apply to our program are located on the Program Admission pages below.  Please navigate to the page for the program you wish to apply to, to find all the links and information needed to apply.
