Grading & Programs

As the leading academic school of management, the Stanford Graduate School of Business offers several degree programs, including the Ph.D. Program, the Sloan Master's Program for mid-career executives who are sponsored by their companies, and the MBA program, a two-year full-time program. Additionally, the School offers a range of 25 general management and specialized Executive Education programs, which typically last one to two weeks.

MBA Program
An exciting new MBA curriculum, to be implemented fully in fall 2007, includes:

• A new menu of core courses designed to challenge every student regardless of previous experience
• A small seminar in critical analytical thinking that lets each student work closely with one faculty member who will help guide the student’s future course selections
• A global experience component to broaden every student’s view of global management
• Expand academic focus on leadership skills

Grading
Since one of the goals of the program is to encourage students to stretch themselves and take risks intellectually, our grading system is not the traditional A, B, C. Rather, our faculty evaluates student performance with H (honors), HP (high pass), etc. Honors connotes performance that is distinguished, work that is of markedly superior quality.
