LIVE EVENT
A Jesuit university located in the middle of Silicon Valley, with strong engineering and business programmes.
Santa Clara University sits geographically at the centre of Silicon Valley, surrounded by the technology companies that define the region.
Its engineering and business schools serve both traditional students and working professionals from the surrounding industry, which keeps the curriculum unusually close to current practice.
The university's advantage is location: its students and faculty are embedded in the densest technology ecosystem in the world without having to relocate for it.
Its part-time and evening programmes also mean a meaningful share of students are already working engineers and managers at nearby companies.
Alumni are widely distributed across Silicon Valley companies, with founders concentrated in enterprise software, hardware, and social ventures.
The Miller Center's work with social enterprises in emerging markets is a distinctive strand not commonly found at technically focused institutions.
Silicon Valley's entire venture ecosystem is within a short drive, and alumni working at nearby firms are an active source of angel investment.
Social ventures also access impact-focused and philanthropic capital through the university's programmes.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
