[PROFDEV] Stanford Business Essentials at Stanford University GSB EE

[Delia Davila]

Hello YNPN,

I hope this message finds you well. 

I am reaching out to introduce Stanford Business Essentials (SBE), a new fully online asynchronous program from Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB).

SBE is tailored for emerging professionals who want to build a strong foundation in business.

Over 4 months (approximately 6-10 hours per week), learners kickstart their career growth and gain crucial knowledge through four modules:

• Economics and Strategy

• Data and Decision-Making

• Finance and Accounting

• Communication and Influence

SBE brings the same real-world relevance, and innovative teaching methods that Stanford GSB is known for in a format that fits learner’s schedules. Each course includes:

✔️ High-impact videos: Learn directly from Stanford GSB faculty.
✔️ Interactive exercises: Reinforce their understanding as you go.
✔️ Assignments: Apply their learning through real-world scenarios.
✔️ Downloadable takeaways: Keep key concepts at their fingertips.
✔️ Discussion boards: Share insights and connect with their peers.

SBE delivers immediate value: you will gain common business language, make more informed decisions, and collaborate more effectively with stakeholders—all while continuing to work full time.

Introductory Tuition: $1,950

Upcoming cohort dates: April 15 - August 18, 2026

Registration deadline: March 25, 2026
