Your Educational Partner in Silicon Valley

Are you interested in the most dynamic, innovative and entrepreneurial business environment in the world – Silicon Valley? Does your Executive MBA program have a travel component? Do you want to design an educational program that capitalizes on the unique aspects of Silicon Valley business culture and its phenomenal successes.

A few reasons why Santa Clara University’s Executive Development Center should be your choice:

Location – SCU is in the heart of Silicon Valley. Hundreds of companies are within a short distance from campus, including corporate headquarters for Cisco Systems, Google, Intel, Yahoo!, Apple Computers, Hewlett Packard, eBay.

Educational Excellence – SCU’s Leavey School of Business is consistently ranked in the top 15 of part-time MBA programs nationwide by U.S. News and World Report; its Executive MBA program is ranked #21 nationally.

Business Connections – Santa Clara University has vast network of executives, entrepreneurs and investors. SCU graduates – and Business School graduates in particular – are leaders throughout Silicon Valley, from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. The executives and entrepreneurs comprising the SCU Business School Advisory Board and accomplished SCU alumni are among the many powerful resources available for programs designed by the Executive Development Center.

The Executive Development Center can design an academic component of your Executive MBA program that leverages the pivotal role SCU plays in making the Silicon Valley a global leader in business. For example, the EDC hosts an intense, month-long summer program as part of the international business curriculum for the Executive MBA program at St. Gallen University in Switzerland. Review a sample curriculum here.
