Careers change. Industries change. The world changes. With the programs at Stanford Graduate School of Business, you’ll not only keep pace with that change — you’ll drive it. A business education can be a valuable investment in your own future. And, the right learning experience returns value in ways that go well beyond the monetary. Moving up in your chosen field, or changing paths completely. Exploring new ways of thinking, or discovering how to make the contribution you always wanted. Perhaps even in ways you never imagined possible. The education you receive at Stanford GSB will empower you with the knowledge, skills, and long-term vision that lead to innovation and growth. And, you’ll build a powerful network of accomplished, inspiring colleagues that will continue to sustain you, long after your final class. Exponentially more than a resume enhancement or a means to an end, your Stanford GSB experience will shape your entire career — and transform your life. It will prepare you to navigate the unprecedented economic, social, and other complex changes the future will certainly bring.

The Graduate School of Business at Stanford University has both the Stanford MSx program, which allows Sloan fellows to gain a MS in Management, and the MBA program in management. 

The MSx is a year-long, full- time program. It is a customizable program, with over 50 per cent of the program decided by students; the school offers hundreds of electives to choose from. The school offers leadership development year-round, with assistance including a 360 degrees leadership assessment at the start of the course, one-on-one development coaching, and leadership- focused electives such as managing difficult conversations, and paths to power. The MBA program is two years in duration, with the second year being almost entirely elective-based, allowing students to personalize their own program.

Postgraduate courses offered
