The Stanford MBA Program is shaped by three distinctive traits which provide an unmatched experience.
Individualized Education
Management challenges are not "one size fits all." At Stanford, neither is management education. We create the best educational experience for each student individually, instead of building a curriculum around a "typical" student.
Stanford offers the most challenging and engaging MBA education by calibrating our curriculum and learning to each student’s background, interests, and career aspirations. And we provide individual guidance from faculty, career advisors, and leadership coaches along the way.
As a result, our student’s learning experiences are personal and transformational, for a lifetime of success.
Unparalleled Community and Strategic Size
Stanford University is one of the world's premier research and teaching institutions, seeking solutions and educating leaders to shape the world of tomorrow. Our students have full access to Stanford’s unique array of joint programs, classes, and resources. And Stanford itself is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the world's leading centers of innovation.
The Stanford MBA program is among the most selective, ensuring an unparalleled standard of academic excellence and quality peer-to-peer learning. With only 370 students per class, we focus substantial resources on each student. These include global study trips, immersion internships, and research opportunities at our Academic Centers. Our smaller size also provides students with more opportunities for collaboration, leadership, and developing lasting relationships with classmates and faculty.
Readiness for the Future
As leaders, students will be asked to solve problems that don’t exist today, with tools that have not yet been invented.
Stanford MBAs are ready. Our students develop strong management skills—and more. Students acquire an ability to deal with uncertainty in a dynamic, global economy. They learn to ask the right questions and how to best apply technology and innovation. In short, our students learn to think deeply, strive valiantly, and move confidently toward solutions.
