For nearly a century, Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering has been a leader in providing up-to-the-minute and in-demand education in keeping with industry development and evolution in technology.

With more than 70% of our graduate engineering students working in the Silicon Valley Area, it is imperative that our curriculum is up-to-the-moment, covering the most recent developments in technology that our students can immediately put to use on their jobs. Our adjunct faculty of nearly 100 working professionals from innovative and exciting technology firms in Silicon Valley ensures our students stay current with the latest trends.

Santa Clara University provides full-time students and busy working professionals in Silicon Valley with various education options to match their personal needs and working schedules. In addition to the Master’s and Ph.D. programs, we offer:

  • Full-time and part-time degree programs
  • Full-time and part-time certificate programs
  • Open University – take only the courses you are interested in
  • One-Day Emerging Topic programs focusing on a single technology topic; attendees earn a Certificate of Attendance upon completion

To accommodate our students' busy working and internship schedules, all our graduate engineering classes are held outside of normal business hours, with early morning classes at 7:10 AM-9:00 AM, evening classes starting at 5:10 PM and 7:00 PM, as well as weekend classes. Our students can complete the program at their own pace.
