Santa Clara University

Santa Clara University is a mid‑sized private Jesuit university in the heart of Silicon Valley with a comprehensive academic portfolio and an applied, collaborative culture. Industry engagement is embedded on campus: the Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation co‑locates labs and classrooms, and maker facilities plus industry‑sponsored capstones support rapid prototyping with corporate partners. Proximity to leading technology companies and a campus entrepreneurship hub create pipelines for internships and startup collaboration. Research is supported by competitive federal and corporate funding, including awards from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense. The Office of Research oversees invention disclosure and IP, working with external technology‑transfer partners.
