The Stanford Graduate School of Business is arguably the world’s premier business school. The school is also a leader in social impact education and was recognized by the Aspen Institute’s Beyond Grey Pinstripes report, where it took top honors in 2011, the last year of the report. It also ranked fourth in 2009 and first in 2007 and 2005 (the survey ran every other year). The strengths of the program are the top-notch practitioners and academics brought in to teach courses, such as Matt Bannick, Managing Partner at Omidyar Network, and Dave Chen, CEO of Equilibrium Capital Group.
Building on the 40-year legacy of the Public Management Program and drawing inspiration from nearby Silicon Valley, the Stanford Graduate School of Business offers a robust social impact curriculum, emphasizing cross-sector, multi-disciplinary collaboration. The core curriculum includes cases on design for social good, forest conservation, sourcing products in developing countries, and microfinance in Africa. Critical Analytical Thinking, a required seminar, pushes students to evaluate tradeoffs in topics such as school choice or the electric car industry.
Beyond the core, students wishing to explore the social impact ecosystem can choose from dozens of electives, from the popular Strategic Management of Nonprofits to newer courses such as Clean Energy Project Development and Finance, Measuring and Improving the Impact of Social Ventures, and Finance and Society. The GSB Center for Social Innovation provides a critical mass of support to sustain research and course development, rolling out new electives each year. Student feedback and input is taken seriously, and faculty frequently hire star second-year students as course development assistants. For students deeply committed to social impact, opportunities abound. Budding social entrepreneurs can enroll in case-based classes about economic development, healthcare, education, or clean tech – and then develop their own ideas by working on multidisciplinary teams in immersive, project-based courses, such as Start-Up Garage and Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability. Approximately 20% of GSB MBA and MS graduates earn the Certificate in Public Management and Social Innovation, and around 25% of MBA students complete joint/dual degrees in education, environmental science, medicine, law, or public policy.

is better than [email protected]At the GSB, students live and breathe the school’s motto: “change lives, change organizations, and change the world.” What’s amazing about the Stanford MBA Program is the holistic and transformative experience, based on the three pillars of critical/analytical thinking, personal leadership development, and creative/innovative thinking. The GSB challenges students to build a career with impact and a life of meaning. A number of university resources are directed at supporting students in the social impact space, most notably the Center for Social Innovation, which offers numerous student programs, such as Impact Labs (expanded Board Fellows), Summer Internship Stipends, Social Innovation Study Trips, Loan Forgiveness, Academic Advising, and Impact Careers Advising.
GSB students come from varied backgrounds and industries, and every class has significant percentage of students who have experience working on social and environmental issues. A large number of students are interested in pursuing careers in these sectors and benefit from the immense resources available at GSB – courses at GSB and across the university, centers, clubs, alumni, faculty, and, of course, the rich, diverse experience of their classmates. The Net Impact chapter is a part of the Sustainable Business Club and is supported by the Center for Social Innovation. The chapter provides yet another way for students to connect with each other to discuss issues and opportunities in social and development space. Net Impact provides a unique network that many incoming students enjoy.
The Stanford Graduate School of Business’ Career Management Center works closely with the Center for Social Innovation to ensure that all social- sector focused students receive the advice and resources they need to identify meaningful internship and career opportunities upon graduation. Between the Career Management Center, the Center for Social Innovation, and, to a lesser degree, the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, students with interest in social-sector work have lots of places to explore opportunities. Beginning in 2014, the Center for Social Innovation will take the lead in consolidating these resources and helping to navigate impact career students through their two-year experience.
Most of the pre-approved or approved-for-supplemental-funding opportunities require the use of MBA skills. Interns with the Stanford Management Internship Fund (SMIF) receive special training/guidance on how to make the most of their summer internship. There are frequent guest speakers from leading social impact organizations invited by student clubs or the Centers. As Stanford GSB is on the smaller side for business schools, it does not concentrate heavily on OCR but does offer a number of social impact organizations recruiting at Stanford GSB, such as the Gates Foundation, Acumen Fund, and Revolution Foods.
