Admission to the Stanford MSx Program

Inspired to take your career to the next level and achieve your goals with the Stanford MSx Program?

You will find everything you need to know to successfully submit an application (plus a few tips from the Admission Office and former students).

The process takes preparation and forethought. We invite you to:

  • Reflect on your career and life thus far
  • Envision where you would like to go
  • Articulate how the Stanford MSx Program can uniquely help you get there, and what you will bring to the experience and community

Take the time to submit a thoughtful, well-crafted application.

The Process

The MSx program brings together a diverse cohort of highly talented leaders from around the world. We do this through a highly selective admission process.

Our application cycle is divided into various rounds. You can apply in any round of the cycle, and we encourage you to apply when you feel your application is the best it can be. Our program size is flexible, and we are committed to admitting all qualified candidates regardless of the round. You can submit only one application per year. The process is competitive so it is important to submit your application when your resume, testing, essays, and recommendations are complete and reflect your best efforts.

The Class of 2022 begins in July 2021.
