Academics
Stanfords Graduate School of Business offers a selective, top-ranked MBA program in close proximity to the hub of technology and venture capital sectors. So its no surprise that many professors are actively involved in the Silicon Valley business community吆and] bring如ractical experience into the classroom. And perhaps thats why you hear Stanfords students throwing out terms like cutting edge and innovation hub to describe its academics. Yet its Stanfords unusual culture that ends up selling Stanfords competitive and mission-oriented cohort on the program. Administration and faculty together promote an effective and unparalleled culture of vulnerability and growth, amid an academic experience characterized by personal discovery地nd other soft-skill development. Like other brand-name MBA programs in the country, Stanford has a policy of grade non-disclosure to recruiters, which some students say encourages them to truly experiment during their tenure. This is also facilitated by GSBs flexible curriculum, which lets first-year students take any number of electives, in contrast with other business-school models that emphasize a more rigid foundation. Yet some students have commented on the foundation[al] curriculum being satisfactory but好ot great, and less rigorous quantitatively or in terms of student preparation for the required curriculum as some peer schools. That being said, the elective classes are unbelievably well-taught and incredibly interesting.
