Since your son is a Freshman applicant, this list does not apply as stated by @ucbalumnus. CS is impacted at many of the campuses and since all CSU’s with exception of SLO use Eligibility index (EI) for admissions by major, he wants to have a high GPA and test scores to have the best chance at any competitive major (Engineering/CS…). If you are looking particularly at SJSU, then use the link below to see how his EI compares with last years thresholds for each major.

Here is a CSU impacted major matrix and you can see which CSU’s offer CS as a non-impacted major:

Also look at Software Engineering which usually is a slightly easier admit.
