Experiential Learning

Experiential learning is transformative. At Stanford GSB, we offer our students a variety of opportunities to ground their learning in real, immediate experiences that deepen their knowledge, expand their perspectives, and build their skillset.

Real-Time Analysis & Investment Lab

The RAIL environment prepares students for careers in investment management by replicating real-world experiences. With 24 workstations laid out to mimic a trading floor and the CNBC broadcast blaring in the background, students become immersed in information while they use sophisticated software applications.
