First Year
Your first year in the Stanford MBA Program is invaluable. This is where you establish your foundation, begin to develop your managerial skills and style, and broaden your global perspective.
Coursework mainly consists of core and distribution requirements. You’ll gain insights from world-class researchers and senior leaders and a deeper understanding of effective business management.
Students must complete a global experience requirement. This is an opportunity to engage in global issues and expand your mindset.
Second Year
Year two is about pursuing your path. Coursework entirely consists of electives. You’ll strengthen your areas of expertise, explore new subjects, and round out your general management education.
You can tailor your experience through an abundance of electives, seminars, a joint or dual degree, and courses at other Stanford schools.
