Explore Programs by Major
Are you worried that not many programs align with your major? Here you can filter programs by areas of focus! Remember that competitive applicants are those who can demonstrate a strong alignment between their program of interest and their academics.
Consider Summer (not competitive!)
Although Study Abroad at Santa Clara University is competitive during the regular academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring), this is not true for summer. Students can study abroad in the summer multiple times and can utilize their experience to get ahead in their major/minor course or to obtain an international internship.
