A degree from here means something. It's geared toward working people so classes are scheduled accordingly...very close to downtown San Jose.

Our daughter attended a 3 day volleyball camp. Us being interested parents went and observed during 3 of the training sessions. Very good overall instructional program in place. Living quarters for our daughter was a dorm room which was clean and adequate for the cause. Coaches and assistants were outstanding!!! Would recommend this camp to others that's for sure.

Beautiful and well kept grounds. Have been doing construction of new buildings and student housing for the last couple of years. Nice spanish style architecture. Mission Santa Clara is inside the school. I can't say its student population culturally diverse since the majority are wealthy white kids. I think this place is overrated. Also, they should consider expanding their degree... More

Our son's graduation in the master's program. Beautiful campus and university personnel were most helpful. The only negative was just the large crowd.
