China students generally pay more attention to school rankings, while San Jose State University's international comprehensive rankings are not as good as many UC schools, so they will have concerns when applying. In fact, the ranking of comprehensive schools is mostly based on the scientific research ability of schools. At the beginning of its establishment, UC system school in California was mainly based on scientific research, while CSU system school headed by San Jose State University was mainly based on teaching. The main difference is the establishment of master's degree and doctoral degree. Therefore, the comprehensive ranking of scientific research of San Jose State University is low, but if we look at the rankings of other public universities, the ranking of San Jose State University is very good.
