The Joint MS in Computer Science /MBA Degree Program (CS/MBA) enables students to pursue simultaneously a Master of Business Administration at the Graduate School of Business (GSB) and a Master of Science in Computer Science at the Stanford School of Engineering. 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.
The Joint MS/MBA Program requires a combined total of 129 units, enabling completion of the joint degree in nine quarters.
Students must successfully complete 84 units of instruction at the GSB. This includes successful completion of the Management Perspectives and Management Foundation area requirements, and an approved Global Experience. Rules concerning Pass-Fail units, independent study, grade point average, the GER, and so forth will match those set for students in the regular MBA Program. Additionally, at least 84 units of the total joint degree units must be completed for a letter grade (not on a Pass/Fail basis).
Students must successfully complete at least 45 unduplicated units of instruction approved by CS. Some of these courses, not to exceed 12 units, may be applied from approved GSB coursework. Specific requirements include:
CS Foundations may be waived, if equivalent coursework has been completed at another institution.
