Hey There
We’re students, teachers, and mentors headquartered in the most innovative place on earth: Silicon Valley. Different people flourish here. Santa Clara University people—with their gifts and goals—driven to build a better, kinder, more humane, and sustainable planet. We come from all walks of life. We travel seas, coasts, highways, and city blocks to call SCU home. And when we're together, home is exactly what this place feels like.
“It was clear SCU had everything I was looking for. The foundation of our education is rooted in Jesuit values—we’re continuously pushed to use our education for the betterment of society—which goes hand in hand with my environmental studies major. It’s the perfect fit.”
This could be your view.
