Are you too busy for a traditional college? Try one of these
accredited schools that offer online courses. Receive an MBA without
disrupting your daily life.
Stanford GSB has a reputation as a
place where the students are happy and for good reason. Not only do they
receive a top-flight business education, but they enjoy a park-like campus
featuring swaying palm trees and views of San Francisco Bay, a remarkably low
student-to-faculty ratio, a collegial class and alumni network, a responsive
administration, and more.
Stanford differs from other business schools in several ways apart from its West
Coast location. Its a small school. Entering classes number under 400 students. All of those students
are in the same program, as Stanford does not offer part-time or executive MBA
options. This smaller class size (and the fact that all first-year students live
on campus) makes for much interaction among students and between students and
faculty. That means that Stanford is no place for wallflowers. Students are
expected to take an active part in classes and program activities, and Stanford
alumni are famous for their active network.
Stanford is more diverse than many
business schools are. About a third of its students
are women, and almost half are identified as either minority or international
students. Hispanic Business named it the best b-school pick for Hispanic
students in 2005.
