Our Impact

Attending Stanford GSB will transform your life and the lives of those around you. And that’s only the beginning.

Every day, Stanford GSB alumni are making a positive, measurable difference in the world. In fact, a study by two Stanford professors determined that alumni from across Stanford University have collectively created nearly $3 trillion in economic impact each year, and have generated 5.4 million jobs.

We’re also creating new knowledge, in the form of impactful research and innovative thinking by our faculty. Their work reaches and inspires global leaders — and moves them to drive positive change.

Limitless Opportunity

Our alumni pursue nearly every kind of career avenue you can think of — and some you might never imagine. From technology startups to international investment firms to private equity, NGOs, retail startups, and wineries, hundreds of respected companies and organizations seek out Stanford GSB graduates each year.

Of course, your Stanford GSB education will offer measurable value, too. As an example, overall compensation levels for our MBA graduates are consistently among the highest of our peer schools. An impressive 93% of 2012 graduates received job offers within three months of graduation, with a median base salary of $125,000.
