PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The business world is in need of young leaders with a background in humanities, science, and engineering. Now that you have the education, all you need is the right skills.

The Stanford Graduate School of Business Summer Institute for General Management offers college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates the unique opportunity to build the analytical and practical skills critical to launching a successful career in the business world.

The program is designed for dynamic and driven students and recent graduates who are interested in developing their business and management skills to launch their careers.

Because the program is only open to non-business majors, our participants' interests and reasons for attending the Summer Institute are as diverse as their backgrounds.

a "crash course" before starting their new jobs
to get a jumpstart on their job searches
to gain a competitive edge with practical business skills as they apply to graduate schools
to bring leadership and business experience to the nonprofit sector

As a Summer Institute participant, you will learn from and interact with the same outstanding faculty who teach in Stanford's world-renowned MBA program.
