The NATioN’S PRemieR UNiveRSiTY
The world all at once: Limitless possibilities are at the heart of Stanford University.
Global positioning systems and gene splicing, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Grapes of
Wrath, Yahoo! and Google—all bear the mark of a Stanford individual. At Stanford, you will find the
entire universe of what humankind knows and is endeavoring to know. From your first days on
campus, this universe will be yours to explore, yours to discover. Stanford will ask that intellectual
curiosity be your compass, that excellence be your true north.
Along the way, you will have the guidance of extraordinary faculty mentors who are at the forefront of
advancing the world’s understanding of subjects ranging from geophysics to history to bioscience to
musical composition. You will also have the friendship of fellow students who will awe and inspire you
as much for their humanity as for their talents. As you pursue the questions that interest you most,
your mentors and friends will give you the freedom to risk temporary failure as you push yourself both
intellectually and personally—along with the freedom and encouragement to pursue what you love.
Your reward will be the exhilaration of discovery—the exhilaration of true excellence.
