The Honors Cooperative Program (HCP) is the only part-time graduate program offered by Stanford University. It allows working professionals an opportunity to earn a graduate engineering degree through SCPD while maintaining employment.

HCP students apply to the department in which they would like to pursue a graduate degree through the normal graduate admissions process, and compete with all other applicants for admission to the program. Once admitted, the HCP students implement degree study on a part-time basis through SCPD. HCP students are fully matriculated graduate students of Stanford University, with full student privileges, rights, and responsibilities.

HCP students must complete the 45 units of master's degree study in five years. They file study plans for their degree program, and are tested and graded to the same standards as on-campus students. Eighteen units may be transferred from the Non-Degree Option (NDO) to the HCP program.

To participate, industry students must have the support of their employer as a member company of the Stanford Center for Professional Development.
