Welcome to the Stanford Bulletin, your official guide to Stanford’s academic programs, courses, policies, and organizational units.
Whether you’re checking on program requirements as you approach graduation, looking up a policy, or simply exploring everything that Stanford has to offer academically, the Bulletin is here to help.
The Stanford Bulletin is the university’s official record of degree programs, academic regulations, policies, and course offerings. The Bulletin includes:
Academic Programs: Overviews and detailed degree requirements for both undergraduate and graduate programs.
Course Offerings: A catalog of university course offerings across disciplines.
University Policies: Official university policies that support compliance and contribute to a fair, consistent, and positive academic experience for our students and all other members of our academic community.
Schools, Departments, and Units: Information about Stanford’s schools, departments, and administrative units, including program offerings, key contacts, and locations.
A new edition of the Bulletin is published every August, before the start of Autumn Quarter. Each edition reflects the approved degree requirements, academic policies, and course offerings for that specific academic year.
Typically, the requirements to complete your degree are based on the year you declared your major (for undergraduate students) or were admitted to your program (for graduate students). If you declared or were admitted in an earlier year, use My Academic Path opens in a new tab and the Bulletin for the appropriate year to find your requirements. You can find an archive of previous editions of the Bulletin in the Bulletin Archive opens in a new tab.
The Stanford Bulletin is a collaborative publication produced by Student and Academic Services (SAS) in close partnership with academic schools, departments, and administrative offices across the university.
AI tools support research, drafting, and editorial production for descriptive text in the Bulletin. All content in the Bulletin is reviewed and verified by appropriate university staff, faculty, and administrators before publication.
