:: classes  

The HCC Club maintains a small database of classes available within the GSB and general Stanford Course catalog related to Health Care. We attempt to include courses that focus on business, law, and basic sciences. Advanced scientific courses are not found below.

Ratings from students (HCC members) are provided.  Those courses that are not offered in the current academic year are shown at the bottom of each quarter's listings. Click on the course name to read student comments and descriptions of the classes.  You can also add your own thoughts on the class pages (anonymously if you so choose).

If you know of a course that you believe should be listed you may submit classes for consideration.
