Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley is one of Golden Gate University's regional learning centers, which enable local adult students to combine conveniently scheduled weeknight and Saturday in-person classes with GGU's full range of online ("cyber") programs to complete, at a predicable and flexible pace, undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates in a broad range of business career fields. In addition, selected programs are offered for completion locally, including degree cohorts meeting on a fixed course schedule with a core group of continuing students, and which may involve "hybrid" courses with both in-person and cyber class sessions.

Our Silicon Valley location provides classrooms, but no offices, library or computer labs; however, the facility offers a comfortable, up-to-date learning environment. Students can access the GGU Library and its research databases via the Web from home. Advisors are available by phone and e-mail.
