Explore the many ways students come together to share their perspectives at Stanford GSB.
Each Stanford MBA class is diverse in the broadest possible terms, including professional background, personal experience, goals, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and nationality. Individuals may identify across multiple communities, and these perspectives come together to enrich our educational environment and our everyday experience.
Stanford is committed to creating inclusive spaces for its members to learn with each other and celebrate the power of diversity. We believe that as you learn more about those around you, engage and celebrate both the similarities and differences, and recognize this is a journey taken together, that is when innovation, impact, and change occur. We believe that it is in these instances, in the MBA classroom and in the business world, where growth happens.

We Support Dreamers and DACA
Stanford has actively supported the DREAM Act legislation since its introduction in 2001, which would allow undocumented students to continue their education and apply for U.S. citizenship. Stanford also supports Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an executive action signed by former President Barack Obama, which allowed some undocumented individuals who entered the United States as children to remain in the country and obtain work authorization.
We are among more than 600 colleges and universities that have signed a letter in support of DACA. Individuals who have been granted DACA status are eligible to apply and matriculate to Stanford GSB. Individuals who have met all other admission requirements and are otherwise undocumented are also eligible to apply and matriculate to Stanford GSB.
