Stanford MSx Curriculum

We have designed the Stanford MSx curriculum with you, the experienced leader, in mind.

The academically rigorous curriculum is extremely flexible — more than half is comprised of electives. You choose the courses that will help you achieve your career goals, whatever your path may be. It’s a curriculum that will inspire you and enable you to explore new topics and take risks.

And you are not limited to Stanford GSB courses. We encourage our students to explore interdisciplinary electives offered across Stanford, in order to create the most compelling course of study.
