Study Abroad and Global Programs
Santa Clara University’s Impact 2030 Strategic Plan’s Priority One: Reach on a Global Scale envisions that "every Bronco will graduate with intercultural competence, and the knowledge, skills, and creativity needed to thrive in their careers and as citizens in a globally connected world." Global Engagement’s Global Learning programs provide a wide range of opportunities for students in all majors with broad interests and goals to connect their work at SCU with study internships and fellowships abroad. Global Engagement believes that the opportunity to study or intern abroad benefits a student's academic program, career preparation, global learning and personal development, and it also enriches the life of the campus community. Through global programs, SCU prepares students with tangible knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable them to pursue their goals and career and to lead in a complex global world.
