To apply for undergraduate admission to SDSU, you need to apply online at http://www.csumentor.edu/(external link). If you cannot apply online, you should contact the Office of Admissions to make special arrangements to apply electronically with campus assistance. At the time of application, prospective students can select their "Pre-Major" as Art. If students enter SDSU as undeclared majors, they will need to follow the catalogue's graduation requirements based on the year they declare either their Major or Pre-Major.

For deadlines for the upcoming term(s), please refer to the university's Office of Admissions How and When to Apply(external link) page.
