Research and Innovation
Pursuing Local and Global Solutions
Recognizing the impact San José State students and faculty members have on the campus
community, the region and the world through their research, SJSU has made research
a top priority. San José State's research endeavors play a critical role in preparing
graduate and undergraduate students, who work side by side with faculty mentors. With
$60 million in annual research, SJSU is a top-200 school nationally in terms of research
spending. The university's students and faculty members apply their inherent creativity
and diversity of thought and experience to a range research—from wildfire weather,
Mexican philosophy and ultra compact dwarf galaxies to water delivery devices, high-performance
computing and Silicon Valley culture. Some of our major programs include the Mineta
Transportation Institute, Moss Landing Marine Labs and human factors research at NASA.
