Testimonials

what our graduates say about us

Fallon Lujan

I love going to school and University of Silicon Valley has been the best outlet to my creativity. I have improved my art skills to levels I had no idea existed. I'm learning new things everyday and discovering new fields of art I want to try. And as far as the previous reviews about no spring break, some of us care more about succeeding then partying on spring break.

Julie Cooney

Received many degrees here and now teaching part-time, very impressive to see the growth since I first was on their campus in 1978...proud to be a part of this institution and thankful for the opportunity to study and achieve my goals there.

Berenice Monsalve

My son was there, he said is very good College !!

Macy Myers

I went to University of Silicon Valley before I ultimately graduated from a university in Texas. I loved it and my mom/ grandpa/ several other family members also went here. I loved the majority of my professors and the campus was beautiful. My only recommendation is that they reevaluate their mascot... they are the "tritons" but their logo and mascot suit is a trojan. Someone messed up a long time ago and it always stuck I guess. Otherwise, this is an excellent starter school for people planning on going to university.
