The Stanford GSB social innovation curriculum educates leaders to spearhead global social and environmental change.
The curriculum provides students the opportunity to focus in a particular field, such as economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, health, or education. They can also shape their academic efforts based on their preferred approach to social impact: e.g., responsible business, social entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, social impact funding, or public policy.
Social Innovation Learning Model
Personalize Your Coursework
The Center for Social Innovation offers a curriculum to address the needs of students at various stages of awareness of and commitment to social innovation work:
- We design for the first-time exploration of social innovation ideas.
- We equip students with the tools and frameworks they need to make a successful transition into mission-driven work.
- We support students coming from the field of social impact in developing their leadership potential to maximize their personal impact and that of their organizations.
- We empower aspiring social entrepreneurs through the entrepreneurial journey.
