Santa Clara University is a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic university located in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. The university is the oldest-operating institution of higher learning among California colleges and is dedicated to a rigorous curriculum in all its degree offerings.
Jesuit ideals enrich the life of the campus community without overtaking the ultimate goal of educating students for the world in which they must live. Santa Clara University demonstrates faith-inspired ethics and values while working to educate students for a life of service and leadership. Small classes, a diverse community, and a values-oriented curriculum help to create competent and compassionate scholars.
Santa Clara University's supportive, open-minded community encourages students to explore who they want to be and how they want to live their lives. More than half of the undergraduates at the university are Catholic, but all qualified and motivated students of other faiths or no faith traditions are welcome.
