Undergraduate

Orientation and Advising

All incoming undergraduate students should attend Orientation before their first semester at San José State. You will learn the ins and outs of how the electrical engineering department works and start to plan your path through our programs. Our major advisors will help you enroll in your first classes at our department so we can get started right.

Ensure to attend Orientation as this event is critical to your success in this program. Students who fail to do so often have a more challenging time finishing the curriculum on time. Keep an eye on your email for further details on Orientation this upcoming semester.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

Advanced Placement scores can be used to waive some of the courses and prerequisites students would typically enroll in during their freshman year in the EE program. Speak with an advisor for more information on how your AP classes can help you get ahead in your studies.

Transferring Credits from Other Schools

Using credits from other colleges and universities can help you get a head start on completing the EE curriculum. However, the classes that you can transfer for credit vary depending on the course material and university. To evaluate your specific situation, please get in touch with an advisor and discuss your options.
