Silicon Valley Program

Silicon Valley companies 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.

Spring 2025 Internship Needs

The Silicon Valley Program is based in the Northern California Bay Area and prioritizes in-office and hybrid internship experiences. Remote internships may be allowed with approval. 

Our incoming Academic Interns will spend their Fall semester and winter break expanding their networks and seeking a wide range of internships—covering marketing, finance, customer success, data science, business development, venture capital, software engineering, and other areas that feature opportunities in innovation and technology. If you know of in-person (or potentially remote) full-time opportunities for the spring, or would like to host one of them yourself, please reach out to us so that we can help facilitate.
