History
Silicon Valley University (SVU) was founded in 1997 by the current President, Dr. Jerry Shiao, and began offering the MSCS program in 1999. Over 5000 students have graduated from the MSCS program during the 18-year time when the program was offered, until 2017 when SVU lost its ACICS accreditation and the State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) license. On December 20, 2019, SVU filed an application with BPPE for an Approval to Operate for an Institution Non-Accredited license. On May 24, 2021, BPPE granted SVU the Approval to Operate for an Institution Non-Accredited license. In fall 2021, the institution restarted its Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program. The MSCS program is a graduate degree program providing students with a strong theoretical background and practical experience in keeping current with the high-tech trends and state-of-the-art technologies in Silicon Valley. Special topics are offered to introduce the latest developments and issues in both academic research and industry application areas. State-of-the-art hardware equipment and software tools currently used by most companies in Silicon Valley are used in the class.
