Santa Clara University Reviews

"I believe the professors in Santa Clara's MFT program are very well versed in their fields and posses a genuine passion for helping others. I feel honored to be taught by them. The only downside I would have to say would be the cost."

"Pros: Positioned at the heart of Silicon Valley, the school has great access to the industry's knowledge base and entrepreneurial potentials. Most of the tenured professors are extremely good in recognizing students potentials and connecting them with authentic business perspectives, just that you got to wait to meet them. Cons: Lengthy program with a very wide stretch of foundation courses, making it highly expensive. International students with nominal or no financial aid take the biggest hit and feel almost drowned by the end of first year. Grading system takes a toll over students motivation level especially when they are graded for how long they can speak about anything than how precisely they can think to solve real world problems. Again you got to wait to see this flipping in those insightful classes of some incredible professors."

"I love how everyone in my graduate program is very encouraging with each other. This includes the staff. They are absolutely wonderful and are always there when extra assistance is needed. However, I would like for my program to be more diverse. It would be nice."

"Being one of the top ranked school for the program I am in, I understand why they make the workload heavy. But at the same time, the faculty and advisors are very accessible and ready to help it's graduate students get through the program and afterwards."

"Santa Clara is an expensive but amazing law school."

"As a transfer student I recognize that the Teaching credential program is way better than my last school. Faculty is very helpful and program coordinator is happy to help everyone in anything you need. I like that the program is faster to be done with, however I think that the student teaching is a little bit longer than other schools. I hope I can succeed in what I want to accomplish because I have all the tools in Santa Clara University to do so."

"The counseling program is amazing because students receive the support of the professors and faculty. It's a great learning environment"

"Santa Clara University School of Law has a great student body and alumni community. However, the resources and facilities of the school are extremely subpar. I was unable to get answers for questions I had about furthering my career with more study or pursuing graduate programs in law. Further, while the school does offer a variety of extracurricular activities and clinics to better legal skills, it is very difficult to find time and energy to participate when you are a full time student working part time just in order to survive due to the exorbitant costs of tuition here. Even though I worked part time through my entire education here, I am still leaving with massive amounts of debt and very little knowledge as to how to best pursue my chosen career."

"I am extremely appreciative that I was accepted to Santa Clara University's Masters in Teaching-Multiple Subject program. I love the professors and the information I am learning in my classes will help make my first year as a elementary educator a success!"

"Excellent Counseling Psychology program, dedicated professor. This is a great school , except that it's really expensive."

"The program at Santa Clara is far to expensive for its actual value. While the school offers clinics and other opportunities for students to learn practical legal skills and network, students are far too busy scrambling to find funds to pay the exorbitant costs to take advantage of these opportunities. I worked part-time the entire time I was enrolled as a full-time student and am still coming out with massive massive amounts of debt."

"Being a student at Santa Clara has proven to be an awesome experience. The faculty is extremely helpful and passionate in their pursuit to create successful and most importantly component professionals. I would not want to be receiving my education from any other intuition."

"Excellent school, great MBA programs, and top-notch teachers."

"Santa Clara University has a diverse and competitive Engineering program which prepares the students for their future careers."

"Teachers are kind and excellent. Since class side is under 30 students, you can really get to know each other. Students are very kind and always willing to help. As a part of counseling class, we practice counseling skills weekly on actual personal issues. So, we are getting not only practicing but also free counseling : ) The campus is pretty and up-lifting. I strongly recommend this school and program."

"Pros: Location-great placement in Silicone Valley; They are moving to more of a cohort arrangement which definitely increases networking opportunities. Cons: It is quite expensive"

"Santa Clara's Counseling Psychology program is exceptional. Academically challenging, with diverse students and excellent faculty, it carries the best elements of the Jesuit faith (helping those less fortunate, involvement in the community) forward into a secular program. The program is well-designed to meet all the standards of the California licensing board, while also providing practicums with sought-after institutions, so that students are well-prepared for when they begin to practice. Lectures are thought-provoking, and force students to really examine what it's like to be a practitioner. Classes are available during the day and in the evening, for maximum flexibility."

"The graduate program here is small, so it is easy to become a TA, but the school itself is geared toward people who are already employed. You do get more access to professors than undergraduates, though. I'm just beginning my graduate coursework, but I hope that job opportunities present themselves."

"I cannot think of any cons for this graduate program. Every class I have taken so far has prepared me for my future career. Each day at Santa Clara is an affirmation that I chose the right school for Counseling Psychology. The campus is beautiful, people are friendly, and I am learning so much!"

"This school has a good location. With an affordable cost, it creates a good networking opportunity in silicon valley. It's the third choice after Berkeley and Stanford if you want to study within bay area."
