Welcome from the Assistant Dean
We are delighted that you are interested in learning more about the Graduate School of Business Ph.D. Program. The information on our website will introduce you to the tremendous academic opportunities available to you here at Stanford. Our Ph.D. Program is central to the mission of the GSB: to be the leading academic school of management.
Graduates of our doctoral program go on to become faculty members at some of the top universities throughout the world, and maintaining a strong Ph.D. program is essential to our approach to business research and education.
Amid the dynamic intellectual environment at Stanford, our academic culture is grounded in the synergies between research and teaching. Our faculty members prize that relationship, and our students carry this value with them as they establish their own professional careers.
If you are curious about ideas, want to be challenged, engage in original research, and have a direct impact on the academic and business communities for years to come, there is no better way to do it than by educating tomorrow's leaders as a professor in one of our disciplines.
I join our faculty and students in inviting you to learn more about us by exploring our website. I encourage you to read about our program, our students, faculty, and alumni, and the exciting research going on here at the Stanford GSB.
Thank you again for considering our program. My best wishes to you during this exciting period of your life.
Sincerely,
Robert Urstein, Ph.D.
Assistant Dean for the Ph.D. Program
