Corporate Master’s Degree Program

Qualified students employed by a member company may pursue a master of science degree on a part-time basis through the Honors Cooperative Program (HCP). HCP students are fully matriculated graduate students of Stanford University and will receive a degree identical to those earned by full-time students.

The Stanford Center for Professional Development handles financial transactions for tuition and related fees and provides online access to courses and student support.

Apply

Individual students need to apply through the Stanford University office of graduate admissions to become a graduate degree candidate. Once a student is accepted into a degree program, his or her employer must be a member of the Stanford Center for Professional Development before enrolling in courses.

Complete a Company Application to become a member.

Employers have the flexibility to join this program before or after its employee(s) are admitted into a degree program by the University. However, the employee will not be able to start courses until his employer has completed the Company Application.
