Fast Facts

Stanford University, located on more than 8,000 acres in northern California, is one of the most selective private institutions in the world. As a respected leader in both the sciences and the humanities, Stanford brings together extraordinary faculty members and students in the pursuit of excellence. At the heart of Stanford’s mission is scholarly inquiry, innovation and investigation. Opportunities for discovery begin in the classroom and extend into the rich research life of campus laboratories, libraries, studios and

beyond. Stanford encourages undergraduates to join with faculty in the search for new knowledge and new artistic creation. Learning outside the classroom is supported by a vibrant residential system that emphasizes service and community. Students may choose to participate in a vast array of educational opportunities, including freshman and sophomore seminars, undergraduate research programs, 11

overseas study centers and department honors programs. Stanford has a strong commitment to

diversity — more than half of the graduating class of 2013 is made up of students of color.
