Beyond the Classroom

From experiential learning programs to student clubs, you will find many opportunities to enhance your entrepreneurial learning beyond the classroom.

Stanford Venture Studio

Stanford Venture Studio provides a vibrant learning community and coworking space for Stanford graduate students who want to learn about designing and creating sustainable, high-impact ventures by testing what they are learning in the classroom.

Entrepreneurial Summer Internship Program

Botha Chan Innovation Program

The Botha Chan Innovation Program offers all Stanford graduate students an experiential learning opportunity to explore and evaluate a for-profit venture idea for 8 weeks over the summer.

Eco Summer Internship Program

Eco-Sprint

In collaboration between Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and the Doerr School of Sustainability, the Summer Ecopreneurial Immersion Program offers Stanford graduate students an experiential learning opportunity to evaluate a sustainability-focused venture idea over the summer.

Student Clubs

Student clubs offer you the chance to connect with like-minded peers. The Entrepreneur Club (fondly known as the E-Club) is the first stop for most students interested in entrepreneurship, but clubs such as the energy, health care, and high tech clubs also host many entrepreneurial events.

Entrepreneurial Learning at Stanford University

Stanford’s entrepreneurial resources do not end at the edges of Stanford GSB. As a Stanford GSB student you have access to entrepreneurial courses, clubs, and programs throughout the Stanford campus. Engaging with entrepreneurs at other Stanford schools is an excellent way to build your entrepreneurial community and to network with people who bring specialized skills and expertise. As one example, the Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders lecture series, hosted by the Stanford Technology Ventures Program at the Stanford School of Engineering is popular with many Stanford GSB students.
