San Jose State University or San Diego State -- which is better for a Business Degree?


San Jose State University or San Diego State -- which is better for a Business Degree?
My daughter has been accepted to various California universities and has narrowed it down to San Jose State and San Diego State for International Business or Marketing (Business). Does anyone have any information about which school would be better for business-related jobs (including global marketing)? She is already bilingual in Spanish, having been a foreign exchange student in South America. Anyone with personal or professional experience with either school? She is going to attend a California State University because the degrees are better-designed toward a career right after college, rather than having to go to graduate school right after college -- she is an excellent student and wants to use her bilingual/bicultural skills and gain business/marketing skills. Feedback is appreciated -- thank you!

San Jose State has a pretty decent international business program from what i have heard. Our school has some study abroad programs that your daughter might be interested in. SJ is more known for its technical majors tho such as engineer, and MIS but there overall business program is pretty good. I dont know much about San Diego State but I know pretty much all UC and State college in CA all have credited business programs so they are all good.

I am currently a student a SJSU and I do not know much about San Diego State other than the fact that it has a really good Marine Biology Program. As far as business school goes, SJSU COB(college of business) offers great degrees in accounting, finance and management information system. We are very well networked with the tech companies in silicon valley as well as the financial institutions here in downtown san jose. I am not familiar with our international business program but we do have a very diverse student body. Regardless of which school she plans to attend, it would be very beneficial to join some sort of business orgainization on campus. Here is a list of business student orgs here on our campus: http://www.cob.sjsu.edu/cob/5_STUDENT%20SERVICES/s_organizations.html I hope this helps. best regards, tim
