 English
Competency Requirement
All graduate students
must successfully demonstrate their competency in written English before
they can be admitted into candidacy. Advancement to candidacy forms can
not be approved until this competency is met.
A graduate student can fulfill this competency by completing one of the
following:
 Hold
a CSU bachelor’s degree
A student who holds a valid CSU bachelor’s degree after 1982 will
automatically fulfill the competency in written English.
Complete
an Approved SJSU Course
Complete a pre-approved SJSU course that is at least 3 units and in
which a
major report is required. The report must be least 30% of the course
grade. A
list of pre-approved courses is listed in the next section.
Complete
an Equivalent Outside Course
A student may fulfill competency by completing an upper division course
at another university that is deemed by the Graduate Studies Office
as equivalent in content and writing requirements to the SJSU 100W.
The student’s graduate advisor must petition for this on behalf
of the student and submit all supporting documents directly the Graduate
Studies Office.
WST
& 100W Course
Receiving a high enough score on the WST to waive 100W OR passing the
WST and completing a 100W course will fulfill competency in written
English.
Professional
Publication
The Graduate Studies Office may approve a professional publication for
which the graduate student was the sole author in order to fulfill a
student’s competency in written English. The student’s graduate
advisor must petition for this on behalf of the student and submit all
supporting documents directly to the Graduate Studies Office.
More information can be obtained at the Graduate
Studies Office or by viewing the Graduate
Student Handbook's English Competency Section (pdf).
