100,000+ SCU Alumni
Santa Clara University has over 100,000 living alumni around the world, in all 50 states and over 120 countries. While our numbers continue growing to impressive heights, one truth holds steady: we’ll always be one family. For over 140 years, we have shared endless memories, Bronco connections, school pride, unique stories, a love for lifelong learning, and a strong commitment to our homes, schools, and communities.
As of April 2021, SCU living alumni totaled over 106,322 alums. To put that in perspective, this number is 2.5 times the capacity of Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.
