About Graduate Admissions

Main content start

The Office of Graduate Admissions serves as the operational backbone for non-professional, campus-wide graduate admissions processes spanning more than 70 departments across five schools.

Part of the Student and Academic Services division, our work supports the overarching goal to design services and systems that ensure all students have equitable access to opportunities and can enjoy and focus on their education at Stanford.

We work in partnership with each graduate program to ensure a smooth admission experience from application to enrollment at Stanford.
