The University
|
Santa Clara University is a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic university with 8,758 students located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The University offers a rigorous undergraduate curriculum in arts and sciences, business, and engineering, plus nationally recognized graduate and professional programs in business, education, engineering, counseling psychology, law, and pastoral ministries. In 2008, for the 19th consecutive year, U.S. News and World Report ranked Santa Clara University second for overall academic quality among all regional universities in the West. The University sustains its high national reputation by offering a strong core curriculum, integrated learning environment, and research opportunities for all undergraduate students. SCU has the highest freshman retention rate of master’s universities in the West, and the second highest graduate rate among all U.S. master's universities. U.S. News in 2009 ranked the University’s MBA program in the top 15 among the nation’s part-time programs. In 2009, Business Week ranked the undergraduate business program among the top 32 in the nation. For nearly a decade, the School of Law’s intellectual property program has been recognized among the top 10 in the country. In 2005, the School of Law was named one of the country’s best law schools by Princeton Review. The University was named to the 2008 U.S. President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for community service programs and student involvement. Santa Clara University’s diverse community of scholars, characterized by small classes and a values-oriented curriculum, is dedicated to educating students for competence, conscience, and compassion. California’s oldest operating higher education institution demonstrates faith-inspired values of ethics and social justice. The traditions of Jesuit education—educating the whole person for a life of service—run deep in all of its curricular and co-curricular programs. SCU celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2001 and in 2007 completed a $400 million fundraising campaign. In March 2008 the University opened the $81 million Learning Commons, Technology Center and Library, a new resource center that anchors the palm-studded 106-acre campus. |
