Inside SCU
Want to learn more about Santa Clara University? For starters, this is the oldest operating institution of higher education in California, and the oldest Catholic university on the West Coast. The school was founded in 1851 by the Society of Jesus, but before that, this whole campus was part of Mission Santa Clara de Asis. Today, we're known for providing a great academic environment and supporting the innovative climate of Silicon Valley.
