Santa Clara Online Learning Community: Current Student and Alumni Perspectives
SEMILLA Teacher Fellow
The MATTC program gave me the support from the ECP staff and faculty, my mentors, my field supervisor, and my classmates to reach my goals. I am grateful that the SEMILLA Teacher Fellowship provided me with a space for connecting with like-minded educators who are committed to social justice in education for marginalized communities.
Attending Santa Clara Law part-time while working was instrumental in advancing my compliance career. The program’s practical focus and emphasis on real-world experience equipped me with the skills and knowledge I needed in my industry … Santa Clara Law’s small class sizes and collaborative learning environment fostered a strong sense of community and lasting connections with fellow legal professionals.
The part-time law program at Santa Clara is accessible for working professionals while also retaining a high caliber of academics. I appreciate that the part-time students still got a voice within the law school. It was incredible to feel so welcomed within the law school community, regardless of my path to law school being less traditional than most.
The option to take classes in the evening, weekends, and online provided the flexibility I needed to create a school/life balance that worked for my specific needs … The part-time program’s outstanding student-to-faculty ratio, in addition to the diverse student body, created a special and unique environment to learn about law.
During my online program, Santa Clara provided a wide variety of opportunities for students to connect virtually. I got a chance to attend career coaching events, networking events with current students and alumni as well as interviews with panelists. This made me feel connected with the university on a whole.
I chose Santa Clara Online because of the incomparable access to professors and resources, both virtually and in person. The ability to use the online and in-person resources of Santa Clara University, with the added flexibility to continue working for my global company (and travel) was extremely beneficial.
I have two young children and I live out of state. The ability to receive at least part of my education online was essential; relocating for two years wasn’t an option for me … I chose Santa Clara Online because I have been connected to Jesuit education since high school and I attended Santa Clara for my undergraduate degree. I liked the flexibility of being able to complete some of my coursework in person.
Santa Clara University’s MATTC program fit into my busy schedule because I could choose between the one-year or two-year program. I completed most of my program online and I still felt very connected to my professors and cohort. I am truly grateful for my time at Santa Clara University.
I began my journey in higher education at Santa Clara University by exploring which programs would allow me to keep my growing family and my full-time leadership position at a homeless services non-profit in Los Angeles. A remote, cohort-based opportunity to study theology and ministry practices through a social justice lens was exactly what I was seeking, and this community gave me that opportunity and more.
Santa Clara University is in the heart of Silicon Valley which means they embrace technology and focus their curriculum on the current marketing trends and technologies. I knew that Santa Clara’s Online program would provide me with a solid foundation to succeed in the current marketing environment while providing increased flexibility.
