-
For new SDSU students: To apply on-line, follow the instructions at the CSU Mentor site, http://www.csumentor.edu/
OR:
-
For International Students: Apply online through an application for graduate admission from: http://www.isc.sdsu.edu/prospective/iwant_graduate2.html. You may pay by credit card at that time or by mailing a U.S. check or international money order to the Cashier's Office.
