You’ll have the opportunity to do graduate-level research right away. SCU undergrads work with faculty in a wide variety of research areas, gaining invaluable practical experience in the process.
Maybe you'll investigate the ethical implications of software development or join in impact research with social entrepreneurs in foreign countries. Maybe you’ll use virtual reality technology to alleviate anxiety disorder or analyze the food, economy, and society of Cuba firsthand. These are just a few of the hundreds of research projects that SCU undergrads have worked on previously.
What are your passions? What do you want to explore and understand better? Which SCU professors will inspire you to dig deeper and take the next step? Whatever you wind up investigating, building, analyzing, or digging up—Santa Clara will help you do your best work.
