New Institute for Future Google Guys

Graduate programs are filled with budding student entrepreneurs who have cool ideas but not-so-hot business skills. “It would be great to get them together in a forum like the one we are providing,” says Garth Saloner, faculty director of the new Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship. “Think of the Google guys while they were at school.”

The four-week institute, which opens June 25, is modeled on some of the Business School’s short-course executive programs, as well as the popular Summer Institute for General Management for undergraduates. Like its undergraduate counterpart, the Institute for Entrepreneurship offers non-business students from Stanford and other universities a full range of management disciplines, taught by the same faculty members who teach in the MBA Program. But unlike the undergrad program, the last third of the grad students’ curriculum focuses on entrepreneurship and growth of companies.

The Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship is the first of several programs in which the Business School is joining other schools at Stanford in a new initiative to develop multidisciplinary educational experiences. For more information about the institute, go to www.gsb.stanford.edu/sie/.
