So we went to executives here in Silicon Valley and said, "Take a look at what we're doing. What do you think are the skills and values that every student graduating from here needs to have?" And principle leadership is one of them.
Anmol Thiara: Santa Clara educates the hearts and minds of every individual that steps on campus. It is, not only made for you to get a good education, but they're in a way educating the hearts and minds of every individual student within this university to go on and make a world a better place. For companies, especially startups, to be successful, cultures and values are a huge and immense component of their success.
Nydia MacGregor: And so, repeatedly, throughout the program, we ensure that we touch on best practices in general, but in specific, best practices related to principal leadership.
Anmol Thiara: Whatever path I choose to take in life, I know that the values and the upbringing that I've learned at Santa Clara University, I can take along with me, and help make the world a better place to the extent that I can.

In my current role, I often find myself thumbing back to class notes to help provide evidence and reasoning for product improvements.

Jennifer Nguyen: For me, I think the online classroom it's been structured in a way that really is trying to help us engage with each other more. Every assignment has a very discussion-based component to it where we actually have to stand our ground or defend our point of view or answer questions.
Gabe Limon: Having conversations about the coursework has really triggered a lot of thoughts in my mind about just taking positive risks in the future and applying these skills to my current job and future opportunities as well.
Jennifer Nguyen:
Not only are we getting to know each other, but we're also getting very different perspectives on the readings. I have someone who's a product manager over at Cisco, as well as someone who's doing biz ops development over at Stripe, a really hot startup right now. So just having that be the type of people you're talking with every day or bouncing ideas and doing coursework with really changes your perspective but also ties into the Silicon Valley mindset at the same time.

I get to work with some of the most brilliant minds in Silicon Valley here in this program.
Have Your Sights Set on Silicon Valley?
The ultimate goal of the Online MBA curriculum is to help students become a Silicon Valley Professional (SVP). An SVP is a person with the skills and tenacity to make change happen in their career and for their company, along with the compassion and ethics to make a positive impact in their community. Each course, residency, and co-curricular is designed and verified by Silicon Valley executives to teach the skills they look for in hiring, which fall under these four domains:
- Domain 1: Principled Leadership
- Domain 2: Communication and Team Building
- Domain 3: Analysis and Interpretation
- Domain 4: Innovation and Entrepreneurial Mindset
Within these domains, you’ll learn the following values and skills:
- Communication
- Collaboration and Teamwork
- Networking
- Diversity and Open-Mindedness
- Teambuilding
- Organizational Skills
- Integrity and Accountability
- Problem-Solving
- Data Analysis
- Innovation and Curiosity
The SVP process, however, is not just limited to the curriculum.
While taking Online MBA classes, you’ll work in the Silicon Valley Professional dashboard, an integrative portfolio designed to simplify your learning experience. Here, you can plan your electives and co-curriculars to make sure you’re on track for your career goals. The dashboard also serves as a networking tool with faculty, mentors, classmates, alumni, and more to receive feedback on your progress and make new connections.
