I feel SCU caters to a specific niche. There are smart people who do not want to take on huge debts and need an affordable, decent education which will open new possibilities in their career. I feel this program has done that. SCU is a strong regional school, and most people in the West Coast recognize it.

While the flexibility of courses was useful, the choice of electives at Santa Clara was a little disappointing. In some instances, important and very interesting courses were taught by professors who did not do the course justice.

s

I think that the program was adequate. It met all the minimum requirements for a program of its [stature]. I can't say that I was blown away by the strength of the curriculum or the student body. If a friend was looking for a part-time program and was constrained to the general San Jose, Calif. area then I would recommend the program. If he had a broader geographical range, I would suggest he look elsewhere first.

The SCU MBA program satisfies my need to get a great education and allows sufficient networking opportunities to grow my business. It is an excellent program for those who are interested in advancing their career or looking to change their career.

The SCU MBA program is good value. Sign up while you can still afford it. A nationally recognized university up the street is nearly double the price. Faculty, on average, provide a positive and rich learning environment. Students are bright and collegial. You're not likely to meet a Rhodes scholar, but you'll meet people who pursue entrepreneurial activities with casual ease. The campus is a wonderful combination of Jesuit history and customs and innovative buildings marked with the latest technology.

The quality of student community and the difficulty of the program are much better than what I initially expected. The quality of faculty was a mixed bag - some profs were exceptional and some were less than average. Majority of students come from very similar (technical/engineering) background, which is not that productive.

s

The program transformed me from a person who understood vague business terminologies to a full-fledged business graduate. In other words, it elevated me to look at a business from 20,000 feet, gave me the opportunity to think long term. I feel more confident than ever before in addressing important business challenges. I am sure I will not have any difficulty if I have to start my own business. The program gave a good perspective of accounting, finance, and marketing. I would strongly recommend SCU to my friends.

Santa Clara University is underrated. There are quality professors, and it is an intensive program that challenges and humbles students. In addition, the Jesuit influence differentiates the program from other highly regarded universities.

s

I thought it was so valuable, I convinced my spouse to apply and he is now attending the same MBA program.

The staff and facility at the school are excellent. The program offers flexible hours and the tuition cost is affordable. It also has one of the highest concentration of Bay Area technology personnel and hence networking is highly beneficial to those who work in the Bay Area and plan to stay there.

s

If someone were interested in obtaining an MBA through a part-time program, I would recommend Santa Clara University because they offer many options in terms of class times, they provide excellent overall topic coverage, they have a great reputation, and they have several extraordinary professors from whom you can learn a great deal.

Santa Clara's program is one of the most respected in they Bay Area and the alumni network is great. Going to SCU expands your career options and provides you with a very thorough education. It was quite demanding, but well worth it once it was complete.

s

My favorite classes were those taught by the adjunct business professionals. They communicated clearly and taught the subject in a way that I retained much of the information and also was able to really understand the concepts rather than plain memorizing them. A couple of the professors have been teaching at Santa Clara for many years and had some stale information.

Most of the Professors that I have had were very good and very knowledgeable about the subject and industry they covered. There have been a few who were more academic and failed to bring real world experience into their teaching.

s

The business experience and exposure to new ideas was great. The networking potential was also phenomenal as long as I was willing to pursue this on my own. I felt that the academics could have been a bit more rigorous.

SCU felt like the right choice due to the smaller class size and teachers availability to spend extra time out of class explaining materials.

Santa Clara Univeristy has a diverse mix of student backgrounds who work mostly in leading-edge industries. Beyond the coursework, I benefited by learning from my classmates and had the opportunity to learn about current developments in Silicon Valley.
