Menlo College
Menlo College is a small, private college in Silicon Valley focused on the practical arts of business in the innovation economy.
We offer undergraduate degrees in business and psychology, and graduate degrees in Information Systems, Finance Technology, and Sport and Performance Psychology. Students gain real-world experience through internships with top companies like KPMG, Google, and Bank of America - most secure jobs before graduation. Menlo is AACSB and WSCUC accredited, and 99% of students receive financial aid.
Our close-knit, diverse community fosters academic and personal growth, supported by a spirited athletics program. Menlo is designated as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI), a dual recognition held by only 1% of U.S. colleges. Niche ranks us among the top 10 most diverse colleges in the United States.
Students broaden their perspectives through study abroad in Japan, France, Spain, and the UAE, or through our Silicon Valley Immersion program. Menlo is ranked in the top 16% of colleges nationwide by Forbes and has appeared in The Princeton Review for over a decade. In 2025, we were named an Opportunity College and University in the Carnegie Student Access and Earnings Classification for providing relevant education that leads to strong post-grad earnings.
