The Stanford Graduate School of Business Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a part-time academic program for individuals formulating, developing, and commercializing ideas. The program uniquely draws diverse participants from both the Stanford graduate student community and the surrounding Silicon Valley area. Stanford master's, Ph.D., M.D., and post-doc students come together with Silicon Valley innovators, scientists, and engineers to form a unique and diverse class.

This innovative program provides exposure to both the fundamentals of business and the practical aspects of identifying, evaluating, and moving business ideas forward. During this rigorous program, participants gain the academic training and interpersonal skills vital to a successful career in business.

This program is designed to teach participants crucial business fundamentals, with particular emphasis on product innovation and entrepreneurship. While the content of the program should deliver a sense of what to expect from an MBA program such as Stanford's, admission to this program and admission to the Stanford MBA program are unrelated.

The program begins January 15, 2012 with classes every Tuesday and Thursday evenings and every other Saturday. Orientation will take place the Sunday prior to class.
