Overview

Key facts

Joint MS/MBA degree students will have interests in technology and leadership with a desire to become managers or entrepreneurs in technologically-inclined businesses. The Joint MS/MBA Degree Program requires application to, and acceptance for admission by, both the Computer Science Department (CS) and the GSB. Typically, MS/MBA students apply to and gain acceptance for admission to both programs within the same year. However, it is possible for current CS (or MBA) students, who previously did not apply for the joint degree option, to apply for and pursue the Joint MS/MBA Degree Program. CS students in the second year and MBA students in the second year may not apply for the Joint MS/MBA Degree Program.

Specific Policies for Stanford University Students Who Begin the Joint Computer Science MS/MBA Degree:

A student in the Joint MS/MBA Degree Program who has matriculated and begun studies in the Computer Science Department but has not yet begun studies at the GSB will be considered an MBA student with a plus (i.e., "MBA+"). Once MS/MBA students begin Autumn Quarter Management Perspectives, they will be considered regular MBA students and subject to the applicable policies.

Coursework Planning

Please visit the Computer Science specialization page for your options.

Course Registration

Students will have two open programs (called "careers" in Axess) under which they may register for courses: the GSB career and the Graduate (CS) career. It is imperative that students pay close attention and register for courses under the career, i.e., degree, toward which they plan for them to count.

For more information, please contact the Computer Science Department or the Associate Director for Joint & Dual Degree Programs at the GSB.
