Your career goals may bridge academic disciplines and require expertise in multiple areas. Few, if any, universities offer the breadth of excellence across disciplines that Stanford does. Combining studies strengthens your academic experience and boosts your professional expertise.
As an MBA student, you may take courses in any graduate school at Stanford. Some students will pursue a second degree to complement the MBA.
Joint Degrees
The GSB Offers the Following Joint Degrees
In a joint degree program, a single course may count toward multiple degrees.
Your degrees must be conferred simultaneously, upon completion of degree requirements for both programs.
Dual Degrees
The GSB Offers the Following Dual Degrees
You may apply for an MBA with a dual degree in another field from Stanford or another university.
In a dual degree, you may apply credit from a course to only one degree.
All dual degrees may require more than the two years of study at the Stanford GSB.
Typically, students apply to the other department in your first year in the MBA Program and take classes toward the dual degree in your second year at the GSB.
For the MD/MBA, you typically apply to the MBA Program either concurrently with the MD application or in your third or fourth year of the MD program.
