Santa Clara's sports teams are called the Broncos. Their colors are red and white. The Broncos compete at the NCAA Division I levels as members of the West Coast Conference in 19 sports. The Broncos own a long history of success on the national stage in a number of sports. ==Description== The university is situated in Santa Clara, California, adjacent to the city of San Jose in Santa Clara County at the southern part of the Bay Area. It is commonly known by the abbreviation SCU; its students and 81,000 alumni, which live in all fifty states and around the world are called "Santa Clarans" or "Broncos" and its athletic teams are called the Broncos. The school is promoted as "the Jesuit university in Silicon Valley."〔Santa Clara University "FYI" Electronic Publication. (). Accessed on April 30, 2011.〕 Built around historic Mission Santa Clara, the present university is home to a population of approximately 5,435 undergraduate and 3,335 Master's, Juris Doctor, and PhD students.〔 The institution employs 522 full-time faculty members, who are divided between four professional schools and the College of Arts and Sciences, all of which are located on the mission campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SCU » About Santa Clara » Faculty and Staff - Fall 2013 )〕 In July 2009 the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley (JST), formerly an independent institution, legally merged with the university, taking the name "Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University." Although a division of SCU, it retains its campus in Berkeley, California. JST is one of two Jesuit seminaries in the United States with ecclesiastical faculties approved by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SCU » News and Information » Releases » University Press Releases - 2009 )〕 The other, Weston Jesuit School of Theology, completed a similar affiliation with Boston College in June 2008, becoming Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.〔(Boston College School of Theology and Ministry ) Accessed February 23, 2009〕 For the 2013–2014 academic year, the university's operating budget was $387 million, and its endowment was over $760 million.〔(About Santa Clara University – Budget. ) Accessed on June 1, 2014.〕 For the same period, undergraduate tuition and fees totaled $42,156 and the average cost of room and board was $12,546.〔(About Santa Clara University – Tuition. ) Accessed on June 1, 2014.〕 Santa Clara University is civilly chartered and governed by a board of trustees, which appoints the president. By internal statute, the president must be a member of the Jesuit order, although the members of the board are primarily non-Jesuits.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SCU » Administration » Board of Trustees » Authority and Responsibilities )〕 About 42 Jesuit priests and brothers are active teachers and administrators in various departments and centers located on the main campus in Santa Clara. An additional 15 Jesuits currently hold faculty positions at the university's Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley.〔 Jesuits comprise around 7% of the permanent faculty and hold teaching positions in biology, computer engineering, counseling psychology, economics, English, history, law, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, religious studies, and theater arts in addition to theology. They also serve in campus and residence-hall ministry, and some act as faculty directors in residential learning communities (RLC's). SCU maintains its Catholic and Jesuit affiliation and supports numerous initiatives intended to further its religious mission. Students are invited, but not required, to attend the Sunday evening student Masses in the mission church and encouraged to participate in campus ministry programs and lectures. All bachelor's degrees require three religious studies courses as part of the academic core. An emphasis on social justice is furthered through the Pedro Arrupe Partnership and Kolvenbach Solidarity programs, which offer service opportunities in the community and immersion opportunities throughout the world.〔(About Us ), Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education, Santa Clara University, 2011, retrieved March 5, 2012.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santa Clara University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
