Stanford MBA Program

We believe a great idea can change lives, change organizations, change the world. And great ideas start here.

Change Starts at Stanford

Change lives, change organizations, change the world. Our motto is more than words — ideas started here have fundamentally changed how the world works, connects, and lives. But there is another change a little less quantifiable — an internal change that occurs as students become leaders by challenging themselves intellectually, engaging and collaborating with their equally driven peers, and gaining global exposure.

The MBA Program Is Designed to Help You

No matter the end goal, our two-year master’s in business administration program will help you become a stronger leader and a better person. Find out more about how your time at Stanford can change you.

Admissions: Taking the First Step

A master’s degree from Stanford will take you wherever you want to go, but you have to take the first step. A great place to start your Stanford story is at an admissions event. These virtual or in-person events will show you in more detail how Stanford GSB can transform your life and career. Admissions events include MBA information sessions, panels, small group chats, and other chances to engage with students, alumni, and admissions staff around the world.

Tens of thousands of Stanford GSB alumni from around the world are hard at work, right now, changing lives, changing organizations, and changing the world. You can join them in making that change.

It all starts at Stanford. It all starts with your application.

We believe in accessible and attainable higher education for all and our Financial Aid Office will work with you to find the right programs for your needs. Whatever your citizenship status, whatever your financial status, once admitted, we want you here. We can help you fund your MBA through a combination of fellowship awards, student loans, summer stipends, nonprofit/public service loan forgiveness programs, and other types of financial aid.
