Benefits of Membership
Through a dynamic partnership with the Stanford Center for Professional Development, your company can engage with Stanford University and offer your employees access to unique, career-long learning opportunities: master of science degrees, graduate and professional certificates, and individual courses through our distance learning programs. You may also wish to collaborate on the development of custom or tailored programs to meet your company's specific needs.
Master's Degree
Qualified students employed by a member company may pursue a master of science degree on a part-time basis, if they apply and are admitted.
Reduced Tuition for Graduate Courses
The base tuition rate for non-matriculated students enrolled in individual graduate courses for credit is $1,300/quarter unit. Non-matriculated employees of member companies qualify for a reduced rate of $1,100/quarter unit. For students enrolling in graduate courses on an audit basis, the base tuition is $1,150/enrollment, $995/enrollment for member company employees.
Savings on Professional Courses
