The Knight Management Center

 

Curriculum and Collaboration

Small class size, the highest quality students and faculty, a collaborative atmosphere, a close-knit community, and access to Stanford’s intellectual capital has enabled the GSB to change the lives of its nearly 30,000 students and alumni, and through these individuals change organizations and the world. The Knight Management Center will do its part by delivering the space needed to foster this (or any future) curriculum change as well as collaboration with colleagues at Stanford and beyond.Illustration: 40-person classroom

New Curriculum

The new MBA curriculum implemented
in Fall 2007 requires:

  • More seminar rooms
  • Team meeting spaces
  • Smaller breakout rooms
  • More flexible classrooms

Four key benefits for students:

  • Highly personalized course offerings
  • Deeper, more engaging intellectual experience
  • More global curriculum
  • Expanded leadership and communication development
  

New Collaborations

The GSB is developing new multidisciplinary programs with the six other schools to help understand issues facing society and to bring about important changes. Joint-degree programs already exist with the School of Law and the School of Education and new joint-degree programs and courses are being developed with the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Environment and Resources as well as the School of Medicine, the School of Engineering and the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design.

These kinds of intellectual pairings will find a home and room to grow in the new Knight Management Center campus.
