Boom Time for Public Management

August, 2002

EIGHTY-EIGHT MEMBERS OF the MBA Class of 2002 were awarded certificates from the Public Management Program (PMP) this year, up from last year's record of 36. On top of that, nearly all Stanford MBA students are taking at least one of the 35 public management electives now offered.

In recent years, more students had wanted to earn the certificate but found it hard to meet all of the required courses. In late spring 2001, students and staff worked with faculty to restructure the requirements.

"The newly expanded course offerings reflect the School's leadership and commitment, not only to abundant PMP co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities, but to learning in the classroom as well," said program director Julie Juergens. "It is one of the areas that differentiates the GSB."

Besides general courses, the program now includes sector-specific offerings related to the environment, education, health care, international development, ethics, and entrepreneurship.
