The Stanford Strategic Decision and Risk Management Certificate has three flexible delivery options: on campus at Stanford University, online via streaming video, and with colleagues at work. Courses may be taken via any combination of modalities, and in any order. It is highly recommended that participants start with the required courses: Decision Quality in Organizations and Decision Analysis.
 

Courses are held in March, June and September on the beautiful Stanford University campus near Palo Alto, California. On campus courses provide participants the opportunity to interact with Stanford faculty and SDG instructors, and to network with a diverse group of professionals from organizations around the world. Participants often cite the people as the core of what makes the program so unique.

Most Stanford Strategic Decision and Risk Management courses are available online via streaming video, making the curriculum accessible on-demand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This cost-effective and convenient alternative works with any schedule and saves travel time and expenses. Each course is accessible for 90 days, allowing participants to repeat lectures as needed. Course materials are available for download from the course homepage to allow for printing and review. A multiple-choice examination and an evaluation form must be completed at the conclusion of each online course.
