Innovating With a Mission
At Santa Clara University, we’ll challenge you to think critically, take risks, and take charge. There’s something special about living and learning in one of the most innovative places on Earth, where more than 80% of our students complete at least one internship before graduation. Whether you’re brainstorming with local tech titans, conducting research with faculty experts, or traveling the globe to make your mark, almost anything’s possible when your headquarters is nestled in California's Silicon Valley.
We offer an experience so great that 94% of first-year students return for their sophomore year. People of all backgrounds flourish here. One thing they have in common? They want to make a difference. Santa Clara students are driven to build a better, kinder, more humane, and more sustainable planet.
With the mindset to engineer with a mission, we’re dedicated to excellence in Engineering education, to student learning, and to providing impactful experiences in and out of the classroom. Students with an interest in engineering can pursue majors including Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and more. A new state-of-the-art STEM complex with top-notch labs and design spaces, opening at Santa Clara in fall 2021, will be an inviting home where our students will discover, experiment, and innovate like never before.
Our faculty and students work together, challenge each other, and grow through teamwork. Graduates thrive in every career path imaginable. On top of all that are small class sizes (nearly 80% of our classes have fewer than 30 students), a vibrant on-campus residence life community, and more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
