Program Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at Santa Clara University (SCU) offers a comprehensive education that combines theoretical foundations of computer science with practical applications of computer engineering. Leveraging its position in the heart of Silicon Valley, the program provides a curriculum that reflects the latest technological trends and industry demands. It builds a strong foundation in software development, hardware design, algorithms, programming languages, computer architecture, networking, and offers opportunities for students to engage in projects solving real-world problems. This degree has STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) designation, offering international students up to 36 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) after graduation. Based on SCU's Jesuit educational philosophy, this program emphasizes not only technical expertise but also ethical leadership, social responsibility, and the human aspects of technology. Through small class sizes and close interaction with faculty, it offers a personalized educational experience, with abundant opportunities to gain practical experience through capstone projects and internships. The program also provides internship and employment opportunities through strong connections with major Silicon Valley tech companies like Apple, Google, and Cisco.
