Companies like Google, eBay, Atlassian, and Intuit are as much about entrepreneurship as they are about technology, and individuals with a liberal arts education help to drive innovative cultures in this global hotspot. The mission of the Silicon Valley Program (SVP) is to provide students of the Claremont Colleges with an off-campus study alternative that marries the liberal arts to exciting challenges facing technology firms in Silicon Valley.
Back Row: Madison Friedman CMC’14, Daniel Serra CMC’14, Chad Newbry CMC’14, Matthew Taylor CMC’14. Front Row: Hye Won Chung CMC’14, Szeyin Lee Scripps’14, Xiaoyin Qi POM’14, Briana Smith Scripps’14, Shree Pandya CMC’14, Franceen Chua CMC’14, and Nikhita Narendran CMC’14.
Students on the program will explore theoretical organizational structures and will apply classroom lessons to the daily tasks associated with an internship in technology. Students will meet corporate executives—and early-career professionals—who will provide less formal insights into current challenges.
