Why Stanford MSx

It’s Experiential.

Both in what you learn and how you learn. The MSx curriculum combines core business fundamentals with an extra emphasis on leadership skills so you can take the leap in your career with confidence. Classes are challenging, hands-on, and always collaborative.

It’s Expedited.

Because at this point in your career, time really matters. For 12 months you’ll live and breathe all things Stanford GSB. Full time. Full speed. No summer breaks. No internships. No time wasted.

It’s Exceptional.

Who you learn with makes all the difference. This is why MSx is intentionally small – a cohort of around 80 people who share your drive and determination. With an average of 13 years of work experience, your classmates bring real-world insights and diverse perspectives that enrich every classroom discussion and dinner table conversation. 

It’s Exponential.

The impact of MSx extends far beyond your time on campus. With full Stanford GSB alumni status, you’ll be part of a 2,000-strong community of MSx alumni, 31,000 Stanford GSB alumni, and over 230,000 Stanford University alumni with strong global connections to help you forge new paths and catapult your career.

It’s Stanford.

There’s only one Stanford. Only one Stanford GSB. Only one place in the world where Silicon Valley innovation meets cutting-edge academic excellence. Where world-class researchers and seasoned business practitioners teach you how to dig deeper, question, and create bolder solutions. And we haven’t even mentioned the weather.
