Admission to the Stanford MSx Program

We admit a select, diverse cohort (continue to link to class profile) each year. Our process is designed to understand how you think, how you lead, how you see the world, and how you see your future.

The application cycle has multiple rounds. You:

• Should submit when your application is strongest; there is no advantage to any particular round.
• May submit only one application per year.

To apply to both the Stanford MBA and Stanford MSx Programs, you must use the Round 2 joint application deadline. Note: the MBA Program does not accept the Executive Assessment. Joint applicants must submit a valid GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE score. Please verify the current Round 2 joint deadline before applying.

A note for residents of Iran: On August 24, 2026, the U.S. government Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control suspended several general licenses allowing services related to Iran and individuals in Iran – specifically, including General License G, which had allowed U.S. colleges and universities to provide certain educational services to people in Iran. Because of this change, Stanford is currently unable to file or process applications, accept application fees or tuition payments, or provide certain educational services to individuals who are currently located in Iran or are outside Iran but ordinarily live in Iran.

Meet the community. Get clear on fit. Take your next step with confidence.

There are many ways to connect, including MSx information sessions, small group chats, class visits, campus tours, and global events hosted by GSB Admissions.
