Admissions

Time and again, you will hear from distinguished Menlo graduates that the key to their success in life was their experiences at the College. They know, as we do, that Menlo will provide you with the tools you will need to excel: a broad-based curriculum that emphasizes leadership and entrepreneurship and offers ample opportunities to grow through experiences in and out of the classroom, including internships and co-curricular activities. You will gain the self-confidence and skills you need to thrive at Menlo and the world beyond campus.

Menlo College stands out among institutions of higher education in several exceptional ways.

First, rather than offering a traditional set of majors, as most colleges do, we concentrate on outstanding programs in business management and liberal arts. In addition, we are located in a prime locale: the heart of Silicon Valley, the most dynamic area of the country for entrepreneurs interested in establishing high-tech and cutting-edge businesses. And we provide you with the best of both worlds: We are large enough, with 700 students from all over nation and the world, to offer a rich marketplace of ideas. Yet we are small enough to maintain a close-knit community of learning and growing in which students and faculty interact in and out of the classroom and you can take advantage of the vast opportunities to get involved in extra- and co-curricular activities.

Where is Menlo College?

Menlo College is in the heart of one of the most sought-after living environments in the world. The San Francisco Bay Area's perfect climate, diverse cultural makeup, and vast array of activities provide Menlo students with so many opportunities for exploration and personal growth.

The Bay Area really is the best of both worlds—offering the beauty, casual atmosphere, and perfect weather associated with California, and yet also offering the excitement and cultural life often associated with the East Coast.

Whether you are looking for Pacific Ocean beaches, the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountains, or some of the most beautiful national parkland in the United States, it is all within easy reach of Menlo. Add the chance to watch some of the nation's most famous professional sports teams like the San Francisco 49ers, the Oakland A's, or the San Jose Sharks, and the incredible variety of restaurants, cultural and social opportunities you will find here, and it's easy to see that you could take a lifetime to explore it all. The San Francisco Bay Area, centered on one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the world, is truly the most exciting place to spend your college years.
