Menlo College – the Small College that Changes Lives

Menlo College is a close-knit and diverse community of students, faculty and staff who are passionate about making a difference in the world. Our students come from all walks of life. They represent diverse ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds, and they bring different values, experiences, and expertise – all of which is vital to the Menlo College experience.

Menlo students also come from all corners of the globe, representing 29 different states and 36 different countries. Their commonality? They identify opportunities and aggressively pursue them, and they do it collaboratively, here at Menlo College.

Our location is second to none. Menlo College is in the middle of Silicon Valley, an area known world-wide for its technology, innovation, and new business models. The College is down the street from many leading venture capital firms. It is also near incubators, and innovation hubs that have helped launch many of the startups that have, in turn, launched new industries.

We are in the business of changing lives. It’s a message that we hear from alumni and current students every day. We embrace that mission and work hard to ensure it’s reflected in everything we do.

Vital and relevant classroom learning, unrivaled real-world internship experiences, and enriching opportunities that offer a strong foundation of leadership skills with sports, clubs, and social activities, all build on the personal attributes needed for success.
The combination of the personal attention, the opportunity to be involved, and the internship program is the key to our success. The proof is in the vast number of our alumni who have become some of the most successful and influential business leaders in the world.

Living, learning, and engaging together in a small close-knit community are the building blocks to the life-changing experience offered at Menlo College. I am privileged to be a part of the Menlo College community.
