Founded in 1851, Santa Clara University is the oldest operating higher learning institution in California, and occupies a site first settled by Spanish missionaries in the 1700s. The historic university has earned a reputation as one of the top institutions on the West Coast, and one of the key members of the Bay Area’s prestigious academic community. In addition to rigorous academics, SCU upholds the values of its Jesuit affiliation by promoting campus ministry and community outreach among the student body. Santa Clara University enjoys a terrific location in Silicon Valley, with the region’s wealth of resources and attractions easily within reach.
