Eligibility for Executive Education Programs

Acceptance to Stanford Executive Education is based on the distinct requirements for each program.

You can find these requirements listed under “Who Should Attend” on each program page.

Submitting an application does not guarantee admission. An admissions committee will assess all completed applications based on each program’s criteria for admission.

Educational Requirements

There are no specific educational requirements. We do not require that you take the GMAT or other exam in order to apply to or qualify for executive education programs.

English-Language Proficiency

We do not require that you take the TOEFL or other English-language exam in order to apply to or qualify for our in-person or online executive education programs. However, participants need to be able to both understand and speak English at a level that allows them to participate fully in the fast-paced programs.
