Stanford MSx Academic Experience

For 12 months — July to June — you will be immersed in a general management program unlike any other.

Stanford MSx delivers a unique combination of rigorous academics and extensive leadership skills to boost your confidence and your career. It’s high-touch, hands-on, and transformational.

Teaching and Learning at Stanford GSB

At Stanford MSx, we believe:

Great business leaders are analytical and intuitive. So, we train you to be both. Our curriculum is theoretical and practical. Foundational and cutting edge. Rigorous and demanding.

There’s no one right way to teach. Our faculty tailor their approach to maximize learning. We lecture, simulate, prototype, role-play, discuss, and debate. The learning is experiential and always collaborative.

Who teaches you really matters. Stanford GSB is a research institution and business school in one, so you’ll learn from both world-class researchers and successful business leaders.

Curriculum and Learning

The MSx curriculum, designed for accomplished leaders, is academically rigorous but flexible so you can tailor your experience.

You will start with core business fundamentals and then push further with electives to meet your personal and professional goals.

Leadership Development

To enhance your academic studies, MSx empowers you to discover and develop your unique leadership style with not only coursework, but also coaching, activities and leadership assessment.

Experiential. Expedited. Exceptional. Exponential. Stanford MSx.
