Location and Facilities

The program is held on the Stanford University campus, which is situated on 8,180 acres in the rolling foothills. Located 35 miles south of San Francisco, Stanford University is just a few miles from Palo Alto and the high-tech industrial center of Silicon Valley. The campus is 25 miles south of San Francisco International Airport and 20 miles north of San Jose International Airport.

Classes are held in Stanford Business School classrooms especially designed to facilitate discussion among participants. Also available while participants are on campus is the J. Hugh Jackson Library, which includes the Rosenberg Corporate Research Center, a modern electronic information resource rivaling most corporate libraries. The School's computer laboratory, with its wide selection of hardware and software, is also available.

Participants will reside in the Schwab Residential Center, a few minutes' walk from the Business School. With its modern architecture and decor, the Center provides an unparalleled living environment for executives. Each air-conditioned suite includes a private bath plus a shared kitchen. The Center combines convenient on-campus housing, well-equipped group study areas, access to a comprehensive computer network, and both indoor and outdoor space for informal meetings with peers. The Center's outstanding dining facility provides a wide array of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and will accommodate special dietary needs and preferences.
