About Graduate Business Programs at Santa Clara University  

Located in the midst of the world's greatest concentration of technological and scientific talent, within one of the most dynamic economic climates and competitive marketplaces, Santa Clara University's (SCU) Leavey School of Business is the heart of Silicon Valley in more ways than one.

The energy that fuels Silicon Valley illuminates our classrooms and inspires our students, resonates within our faculty, permeates our curriculum, shapes our graduates, and underscores our commitment to quality instruction, rigorous inquiry, and high performance expectations. We are proud to be a Jesuit Business School, taking seriously the education of the whole person. Although our students and alumni lead organizations diverse in size, structure, and strategy, they share the common goal of creating value for their communities.
