The Stanford Challenge: Venture Education

WRITTEN BY: Greg Cruikshank

Many graduate students, in fields from science to law, have smart ideas that could become successful ventures - but business skills aren\'t part of their usual course of study. Many will go on to work in corporate settings without formal business training.

The new Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship (SIE) is an intensive four-week business program offered by the GSB for Stanford grad students in non-business fields. Under the direction of Professor Garth Saloner, the program combines team projects and workshops with guest speakers and visits to Silicon Valley companies ranging from start-ups to large firms, from high-tech to retail.
