Silicon Valley Program
The successes of companies like Google, Apple, and eBay are as much about entrepreneurship as they are about technology, and individuals with a liberal arts education help to drive such innovation in this global hotspot. The Silicon Valley Program was inspired by the expansive network of CMC alumni who have found success in the world of hi-tech business. In collaboration with CMC’s Robert Day School of Economics and Finance, and with the support of the Center for Global Education, the Program includes a full-time internship, two academic seminar courses, an independent research project, and networking in one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. Companies such as Google, eBay, Atlassian, Intuit, PayPal, Box, Bloom Energy, and many others have expressed interest in hosting internships. During the semester-long program, you will meet the people who power the financial strategies, marketing, and product development behind the companies; and you will make the connections critical for success in the fast-paced world of hi-tech entrepreneurship.

ITAB Silicon Valley Networking Trip
For seven years, the Information Technology Advisory Board at CMC has hosted a week-long networking trip in Silicon Valley. The success of this program rests with CMC alumni and parents, who have generously hosted the delegation for tours of their companies, and who introduce CMC students to the leaders who run Silicon Valley. The networking trip will continue to introduce CMC students to potential careers in Silicon Valley, and will be administered through the Silicon Valley Program offices.
