[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to Stanford University
Stanford University [1] was founded on 1885. In memory of his son who died while traveling in Italy, Leland Stanford Sr, then king of California railways and former governor of California, decided to donate money to establish a university named after his son in Palo Alto, and took out his 865,438+080 acre farm for training excellent horse racing as the campus of the school. Legend has it that the Stanford couple visited the president of Harvard University and proposed to build a building on the Harvard campus to commemorate their son's death, but it was rejected, so they built this world-famous university. Their decision will bring endless wealth to California and the United States in the future, even though it was still a desolate and isolated remote west in the eyes of Americans at that time. Until now, people still call Stanford a "farm". So in Stanford University, bicycles are a necessary means of transportation for students. Stanford University has abundant funds, sufficient funds and rich teaching equipment. This library has 6.5 million books. There are more than 7,000 computers for students to use, and there are also many computer rooms and computer centers to provide services for students. Students can use the internet to contact teachers and students in the school. In addition, the school also has many sports facilities, such as gymnasium, golf course and swimming pool, which can accommodate 85,000 people. In the 1960s, when the University of California at Berkeley was famous for its academic and student movements, Stanford University was unknown. Today, Stanford University has been regarded as "Harvard University on the west bank of Jordan". Stanford took off after the 1970s, but I'm afraid it's still due to its greatness. More than 8,000 mu of land, the school can use it as it wants. So in 1959, Frederick Terman, president of the School of Engineering, put forward an idea-this was the turning point of Stanford University: renting 1000 mu of land to the industrial and commercial circles or alumni for a long time at a very low nominal rent to set up a company, and then they would cooperate with the school to provide students with various research projects and internship opportunities. Stanford became the first university in the United States to establish an industrial park on its campus. Thanks to the hint of land harvest returns, Stanford put itself in the forefront of the United States: "Enterprises in industrial parks opened one after another, and soon surpassed the land that Stanford could provide, and expanded outward, forming a Silicon Valley with cutting-edge technology and elites in California. Surrounded by science and technology groups and enterprises, Stanford University has established close ties with high technology, commerce, pragmatism and pioneering spirit, which are typical American spirits. With the rise of the "high-tech belt" on the west coast of the United States, various computer companies, including the century darling Microsoft, have set up camp in this line, and the position of Stanford University is becoming more and more important. Stanford University graduates have made outstanding contributions to human civilization, scientific and technological progress, world political economy and modern business development. Among them are American President Hoover, a world leader in science and technology and a Nobel Prize winner. Stanford University laid the foundation stone, founded the famous Silicon Valley in the United States, and gave birth to a world-renowned modern science and technology culture. Stanford University graduates have created many world-class enterprises, including Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Electronic Arts, Gap, Google, Nike, Sun, Yahoo and hundreds of well-known American listed companies, and so on. If Harvard and Yale University represent the traditional American humanistic spirit, then Stanford University is the symbol of the scientific and technological spirit of the 2 1 century. Stanford University [1] is a four-year private university, which was rated as the fifth-star university in the United States by US News and World Report, ranking first in academic circles in the United States. In 2002, American News published the latest ranking of American graduate schools. The school of engineering ranks second in the United States, the school of education ranks second in the United States, the graduate school of business ranks first, the school of business management and the school of law rank among the best in the United States, and the school of law has always been at the forefront in the ranking of American law schools. At one time, six of the nine justices of the US Supreme Court graduated from Stanford Law School. In the ranking of doctoral programs, biology ranks first, computer science ranks first with Carnegie Mellon University, MIT and UC Berkeley, geology ranks third, mathematics ranks third with Princeton University and UC Berkeley, physics ranks third with Harvard University, Princeton University and UC Berkeley, applied mathematics ranks fourth and chemistry ranks fifth. Other top courses include English, psychology, mass communication, biochemistry, economics and drama. According to the latest official statistics, the average annual income of recent graduates of Stanford University is the highest among universities in the United States. From 65438 to 0998, Chelsea, the only daughter of American President Bill Clinton, chose Stanford University as a freshman, which is undoubtedly another proof of the strength of Stanford University.
[Edit this paragraph] A distinctive university system
The academic system of Stanford University is different from other universities. According to the regulations of the school, a year is divided into four quarters, and students have to take different classes in each quarter. Therefore, students in Stanford University take more courses than students in two-semester universities, and the pressure is greater than that in other universities. Stanford students must complete required courses in nine fields, including culture and thought, natural science, science and technology and practical science, literature and art, philosophy, social science and religious thought. In addition, students' writing and foreign languages must meet certain standards. When Stanford University recently added the works of non-western social writers to its annual "Nuclear Education in Western Culture", it attracted academic attention and shock.
[Edit this paragraph] Features and advantages of Stanford Business School (GSB)
Founded in 1925, Stanford GSB is an ambitious school, and its ambition can be seen from its slogan "change life, change organization and change the world".

[Edit this paragraph] The famous professor group has a strong lineup.
According to the data of 1995, among the more than 300 professors in Stanford University/kloc-0, there are ten Nobel Prize winners, five Pulitzer Prize winners, 142 academicians of the American Academy of Art, 84 academicians of the National Academy of Sciences and 14 winners of the National Science Award. Sixty-seven students won Rhodes Scholarship-President Clinton had won this kind of scholarship and was selected to go to Oxford for further study.
[Edit this paragraph] The most prestigious business schools and MBA majors.
Stanford Business School and Harvard Business School are considered as the best business schools in America. These two colleges have tied for the first place in the ranking of business schools in authoritative American magazines for many times. Harvard Business School represents more traditional management training and cultivates large enterprise management talents with "suits and ties"; Stanford Business School, on the other hand, emphasizes the "small enterprise spirit" of establishing new technology enterprises and trains a new generation of small entrepreneurs wearing T-shirts. Judging from the number of students, Stanford Business School is much smaller than Harvard Business School. There are 720 MBA students in Stanford, and there is only one business management talent training program called Si Long, which lasts for ten months and only recruits about 50 students every year. However, in terms of the quality of students, among the more than 730 business schools in the United States, no business school has such fierce competition for enrollment as Stanford Business School. In recent years, 5,000 to 6,000 people applied for admission to Stanford Business School every year, but only 360 lucky people got their wish. From this perspective, Stanford Business School is the most expensive business school in the United States. The main reason is that schools should ensure the quality of teaching and the high quality and standards of students. Stanford Business School requires students to have a certain theoretical depth because it believes that business school graduates should benefit from business school education for at least 20 years. In other words, they should not only know what kind of business world they will face after graduation, but also have enough intelligence to cope with the changed business world 20 years later. In Stanford, after the first year of basic courses, students are generally required to choose a major direction in the second year. These main directions include manufacturing management, small business creation and management, international business management, health care management and public enterprise management. The purpose of doing this is to let students have a systematic and in-depth understanding of the industries they may engage in in in the future and master practical and theoretical knowledge. Stanford Business School not only emphasizes practical management experience, but also emphasizes long-term research on economics, finance, market operation and other theories, with more research results than other first-class business schools. In the past decades, several professors in this business school have won the Nobel Prize in Economics for their research results. At the same time, Stanford Business School has paid special attention to the application of high technology in teaching in recent years. Many courses involve how to establish high-tech companies, how to implement technological transformation in a certain industry or large enterprises, and how to develop new products by using new technologies. To this end, the school invites many senior executives from Silicon Valley and other places to give lectures to students every year and tell them about their practical experience. During their study, many MBA students participated in the business planning, development and management of small companies in Silicon Valley, and established close ties with these companies before graduation. The very high elimination rate is also one of the reasons why Stanford's MBA program is world-famous. At present, the number of applicants is about 5,000 each year, reaching 8,000 at most, and the admission rate is only 7%. In MBA education, teachers are a key factor. Stanford Business School has a strong faculty with a teacher-student ratio of 1∶6, including three Nobel Prize winners since 1.990. MBA is not as simple as a master's degree, it is a systematic and extensive major. Therefore, ensuring the diversity of students is a very important aspect. Stanford MBA students come from all fields, which can increase the complementarity between students and promote their learning to some extent. In order to ensure the quality of running a school, Stanford University also has a very important means, which is to strengthen media supervision. Some mainstream media in the United States publish MBA professional rankings every year, which has a very important impact on both applicants and employers. These media usually distribute questionnaires among students, and then conduct systematic analysis after collection. An important indicator of ranking is students' opinions. In May 2008, Stanford University achieved rapid development in MBA education, and now it ranks second in MBA education.
