The Santa Clara University Online Faculty
Our distinguished and dedicated faculty excel as teachers, researchers, scholars, and business leaders. The small class sizes within our Online MBA enable students to get a unique degree of access to, and support from, our tenured and executive professors who are more than willing to share the expertise gained from their ongoing professional experience in the Silicon Valley. They also leave their mark as mentors to each cohort of Leavey students and alumni, encouraging close and continued contact, exchanging cell phone numbers, and urging students to reach out whenever needed.
They are board members of the American Institute of Architects and the Global Women's Leadership Network, members of the Academy of Management, patent holders, and award-winning researchers and published scholars.

The reason why this program being in the Silicon Valley is important to me is because the Silicon Valley is the tech center and the innovation center of the world. You actually have professionals that have been in that world, teaching what they know, and also what they're currently researching as well. So we get to learn about the latest news and the latest trends here in the Silicon Valley.
Jennifer Nguyen:
What's really interesting about Santa Clara that really drew me to the program is that they always say Silicon Valley walks through its doors at the end of the day. Our guest lecturers, our professors all have experience, they came from here, so it's not like they are now just scholars publishing, et cetera. And they bring a lot of real world experience, which I'm excited to tap into.
Harold Tran:
I'm hoping to get that experience from the teachers here or the professors who have that experience in working in Silicon Valley. And I'm hoping that I can learn about what successes they've had, what problems they faced, how they manage to overcome them. If Silicon Valley is such a startup culture, then of course, it's important that we learn about how people have done in the past, so that way we can figure out how to strategize for the future.
