Currently attending SJSU for my Master of Arts in Teaching and Teaching Credential in English. It's…read morea rigorous program that pushes for social equity and preparedness as a professional public school teacher. The classes are not too bad; most of my classmates and professors are awesome. I can't wait to graduate (again) in December 2026! Fun fact: SJSU's Teacher Education department is the oldest public teacher preparatory program in California! To go back even farther, I got my Bachelor of Arts in journalism here. My academic journey was atypical: I first enrolled in August 2011 and officially graduated in August 2022. I'll spare y'all the details, but I'm proud of myself for coming back and finishing my degree. It just proves that anybody can get a college degree if you really put your mind to it. SJSU is a world-class university smack dab in the middle of the Bay Area. It's gotten better since I first enrolled and its location will only continue to make it an enticing option for college students. $4,700 a semester for full-time enrollment is honestly a steal. If you can focus on your goal of getting your degree and block out distractions, SJSU is awesome for what it is. There is free parking on the streets off campus if you know where to look. I don't recommend using the gym, library, or student union tbh. They're overcrowded and noisy. Just get food off-campus and study at home or a Santa Clara County or San Jose public library instead; they're quieter, and you have less of a chance of someone stealing your stuff. There are some occasional incidents with unhoused individuals having public mental health breakdowns, but it's nearly nonexistent compared to the 2010s.

I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be attending SJSU. I dropped out of…read morehigh school at the age of 16 after the house-fire. I am now 43. I enrolled myself back to school (SJCC) during the height of the pandemic. Anyway, though school is a drag because it requires attendance, hard work, attention, memorialization, organization, understanding, and follow-through but I still feel butterflies in my stomach each time I am on campus. The orientation was long and I didn't think it should be mandatory, but if you don't attend then you will not be able to register for any classes. Parking is rough but I have been lucky to find parking across the street from Banh Mi Oven Tuesday evenings. I had 9 units - 2 online classes and 1 in-person class. You need a badge to get into buildings, so try not to lose it. During orientation towards the tail end of it, advisors/counselors were very helpful. I scheduled a Zoom with a counselor during the semester to confirm what I need and don't need to take. Both experiences have been wonderful. I am majoring in Sociology. The student union building (eateries, bookstores, bowling alley, etc.) is spacious and clean. It's busy during the school year. They only have Pepsi products on campus and no vending machines! There is a cafeteria-style food area as well. It is near their awesome gym equipped with a rock climbing wall, too. I have not had a chance to work out there yet. I also love the fact that MLK library is pretty much on campus as well. I just finished summer semester and still I'm in awe that I am a Spartan. Maybe I'll get sick of it but so far the only thing I'm sick of is their tuition. I don't qualify for financial aid, so I need to take a loan (financial aid and photos for IDs) are not on campus so plan ahead if you need to come there or to the bursar's office. My summer class alone not including textbook rental costed me $1580. For once class. Thankfully there are loans. Lots of flyers and posts on their Sammy app. I was fortunate to help make individual tiramisu for the honors history club. I don't have time to socialize. Let's be real. I'm old to be these students' mom, so I'm not trying to be but I enjoy reading posts and seeing the flyers and help wherever I can. I'm registered for 12 units this fall. Wish me luck!

I have taken classes online for Educational Therapy and I have enjoyed what I have learned through…read morethe professors. All the instructors I have worked with have graduate degrees and several years of work experience. You can tell the instructors love their jobs, are passionate about their areas of interest, and are motivated to help you become a well-trained student and excellent professional. They want you to do well and be ready to move into the field in due time. In my opinion, I think that these courses will be a positive experience for you if you have at the minimum 2+ years of full time work experience in public education, special education, healthcare, occupational therapy, and or psychology. The classes were well-paced, organized, made sense, and directed students to many resources to use as students and professionally in the field. We were encouraged to join certain professional associations to keep up with professional education and to specialize. The trainings we were referred to in order to develop or enhance our skills have been well-rated, well-regarded, meet the gold standard, and are well-known for actually being helpful for the learners they are targeting. They offer several online classes to work at your own pace. More now, in fact than before. They have several classes each quarter which is convenient because you can finish many classes each quarter if your finances and schedule permits. They have short courses which make sense for the topics they are covering. When you do have to attend online meetings, they have commonly been on Zoom once or twice a week. They do have hybrid classes with alternating online meetings via Zoom for a couple of hours and independent work on your own time. Sometimes they have weekend seminars that last for a good chunk of time over a couple of weeks. I have yet to find them dull. Because this is a post-Graduate certificate, the work is rigorous. You do need to have childcare, family supportive care, and manage your calendar and daily schedule very well. You need a quiet corner with great internet to sit in lecture, put in the time to read, and plan out your writing assignments and projects. If your life and family are not currently peaceful, calm, and orderly, wait to start the classes until they are. The instructors are so helpful and supportive, but they can only do so much. The amount of reading assigned is generous, but never painful. The material is useful, relevant, interesting, and thought-provoking. I'm looking forwards to learning more.

Games & Playable Media Alumni here!…read more The building went through a recent renovation about a year or so ago during remote classes. So the interior is super modern, team offices are spacious (TV's in each room with ip screen sharing), great lecture room technology, and overall clean. There's usually always security at the front. And kind staff if you ever need anything. Great space for learning :D
