San José State University

San José State is a public university within the California State University system, in the heart of Silicon Valley, a location directly relevant to a Kazakh applicant in computing or engineering given the internship and employment density around it. It admits through Cal State Apply and charges the CSU system rate: base tuition and campus fees plus USD 471 per semester unit in non-resident tuition, roughly USD 21,000 a year at a 15-unit load. A secondary source notes that 'SJSU is not listed as a Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) participant. Nonresidents pay standard CSU nonresident tuition unless granted a specific waiver', so unlike Cal Poly Pomona there is no exchange route at all here, though that route was closed to a Kazakh applicant in any case.
