Steps for Completing Your Master's Degree

While this page summarizes most of the policies and steps that a graduate student must follow to get his/her degree, it does not replace our university catalog which covers them in greater detail. For further information on any of our policies please visit our online catalog which has our SJSU Graduate Policies and Procedures.

Please visit the following link to review the steps you must take in order to complete your MST: http://www.sjsu.edu/gape/current_students/completing_masters/index.htm. You are encouraged to review and understand how these steps affect the attainment of your degree.

Be sure to print the New MST Student Handbook (pdf) as it will help you in registering for classes, maintaining good standing in the program and completing your degree.

We encourage you to review the MST Learning Objectives (pdf) for the MST Program to get a better sense of what you'll be accomplishing by working on your MST degree.
