Stanford Center for Professional Development
The Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD) connects professionals worldwide to the research and teaching of Stanford University faculty in the School of Engineering and related academic departments. Qualified individuals may study for master of science degrees on a part-time basis, pursue graduate and professional certificates, take individual graduate and professional courses, participate in workshops, view free online seminars and more. Courses are delivered online, on the Stanford campus in the heart of Silicon Valley, and at the work site.
SDG has partnered with SCPD since 2006 on its certificate program in Strategic Decision and Risk Management, which combines Stanford's academic and research depth with SDG's track record of decision and risk management in business. The program consists of a curriculum of noncredit short courses. Participants have the flexibility of taking individual courses or earning the Stanford Strategic Decision and Risk Management Certificate by completing two required courses and four electives.
