The Dean’s Challenge

Government, business, and academia are struggling to explain and to cope with today’s unprecedented economic disruption. No one is sure when it will end, and no one is sure how bad it will get. Only one thing is certain: It will end.

As in every economic upheaval in modern history, hope, human ingenuity, and a spirit of innovation will lead us out of this crisis and into a new era of economic and social prosperity. Even now entrepreneurs are sowing the seeds of the recovery. New business licenses are approaching record highs even as unemployment rates do the same.

Will you be ready for the recovery? Are you ready for tomorrow?

Santa Clara University’s MBA program provides the perspective, the skills, and the experience you need for tomorrow’s business world. Our unique outlook will prepare you for a leading role in the recovered world economy. What makes SCU’s business education unlike any other?

A Jesuit Tradition. For nearly 500 years, the Society of Jesus has committed itself to educating leaders in competence, conscience, and compassion. At the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University, new business leaders learn to balance the economic, social, and ethical consequences of their decisions.

Knowledge + Values. Tomorrow’s business leaders need to understand the values that guide our society, and employ those values when making decisions. Values are at the core of the Leavey School of Business and Santa Clara University and are a part of every student’s business education.

Ingenuity + Innovation. Santa Clara University is at the center of the most innovative commercial region in the world. In the Leavey School of Business, we use our geography as a laboratory to explore the keys to business success, so our students can harvest their own ingenuity.

Teachers + Scholars. The faculty at the Leavey School of Business is comprised of both renowned scholars and celebrated teachers. Our faculty creates the knowledge and writes the cases and books that are the foundations of modern business education. jOur scholars teach your class at Santa Clara University.
