University Core

Undergraduate Core Requirements

As part of a Santa Clara University engineering education, all undergraduates must complete the University Core Curriculum - a collection of courses designed to prepare students to become thoughtful, ethical leaders in our fast-paced technological world.

The critical thinking, articulate expression, and concern for social justice that are key elements of a Jesuit education are instilled through a core curriculum addressing ethics, religion and spirituality, composition and literature, and mathematics and science. When partnered with our rigorous engineering course study, the result is a comprehensive education that prepares our students to justly meet the engineering needs of a diverse global community.

Students choose from a wide array of classes that fulfill the core requirements, exploring, investigating, and learning how to think critically and independently.

Graduate Core Requirements

A graduate engineering core is currently being developed and is expected to be initiated in the Fall 2008 term. Check back for updates.
