Santa Clara University is a community of teacher-scholars and faculty are as likely to pursue research abroad in Poland or Korea as they are in California.
Every year SCU faculty teach and research abroad through prestigious Fulbright grants and other international fellowships. Scholars and researchers from our partner universities across the world come to SCU to spend time teaching and researching taking advantage of our resources on campus and in Silicon Valley. These international scholars are an important part of our academic community, as well.
