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. Stanford has a strong commitment to diversity — more than half of the graduating class of 2013 is made up of students of color- and as a respected leader in both the sciences and the humanities, the University brings together extraordinary faculty members and students in the pursuit of excellence. Opportunities begin in the classroom and extend into the research life of campus laboratories, libraries, studios and beyond. Stanford encourages undergraduates to join with faculty in the search for new knowledge and 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 undergraduate research programs and 11 overseas study centers.
