MBA Student Diversity

Explore the many ways diversity and inclusion come alive at Stanford GSB.

Each Stanford MBA class is diverse in the broadest possible terms, including professional background, personal experience, goals, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and nationality. Individuals may identify across multiple communities, and these perspectives come together to enrich our educational environment and our everyday experience.

Stanford is committed to creating inclusive spaces for its members to learn with each other and celebrate the power of diversity. We believe that as you learn more about those around you, engage and celebrate both the similarities and differences, and recognize this is a journey taken together, that is when innovation, impact, and change occur. We believe that it is in these instances, in the MBA classroom and in the business world, where growth happens.
