Courses

The Stanford Graduate School of Business offers more than 20 courses related to entrepreneurship across a variety of disciplines, including accounting, finance, human resources, marketing, and strategy. The Stanford MBA program is designed to give students a foundation in general management and does not offer a degree or certificate in entrepreneurship. Please refer to the Courses pages in the Teaching section for the list of courses offered.

For students not enrolled in the MBA or Sloan MSM program, the Graduate School of Business offers two other programs. The Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship is a four-week business program for current non-business master's, PhD, MD, and post-doc students which examines the process of turning an innovative idea into a successful venture. Current graduate studetns with backgrounds in engineering, medicine, science and humanities are offered the unique opportunity to build the analytical and practical skills critical to business management and entrepreneurship. The Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a four-month academic program for individuals formulating, developing and commercializing ideas. This innovative program provides exposure to both the fundamentals of business and the practical aspects of identifying, evaluating, and moving business ideas forward. The program uniquely combines current Stanford master's, Ph.D., M.D., and post-doc students with Silicon Valley innovators, scientists, and engineers.
