Breakthroughs at Stanford include the first successful heart-lung transplant, the debut of the computer mouse, and the development of digital music.</p>\n<p>Situated on 8,180 acres, Stanford is one of the largest campuses in the United States with 18 interdisciplinary research institutes and seven schools on a single campus: Graduate School of Business; School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences; Graduate School of Education; School of Engineering; School of Humanities and Sciences; Law School; and School of Medicine.</p>\n<p>Stanford has more than 16,300 students, 2,180 faculty and 1,800 postdoctoral scholars. Stanford is an international institution, enrolling students from all 50 U.S. states and more than 90 other countries.

The 31st president of the US, Herbert Hoover, was part of the first class at Stanford, and received a degree in geology in 1895. The alumni include 17 astronauts, 18 Turing Award recipients and two Fields Medalists.</p>\n<p>In total, companies founded by Stanford affiliates and alumni generate more than $2.7 trillion annual revenue, which would be the 10th largest economy in the world. These companies include Google, Nike, Netflix, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Instagram and Charles Schwab. Stanford alumni also have founded nonprofit organizations like Kiva and SIRUM. The first American woman to go into space, Sally Ride, received an undergraduate degree in physics from Stanford in 1973. Just 10 years later, she made her ascent into space.</p>\n<p>Stanford’s official seal contains the German words, “Die Luft der Freiheit weht”, which translates as “the wind of freedom blows”.</p>\n","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/a_797164665455.png","homepageUrl":"https://www.stanford.edu/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/stanford-university","country":"US","state":"","location":"북아메리카","address":"450 Serra Mall, Stanford, California, 94305–2004, United States","phoneNumber":"+1 650 723 2300","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"사립","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1885-11-11T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-31T00:06:13.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/STANFORD_1335454619469.jpg","default_3_bannerImageMobile":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/STANFORD_1133686805918.jpg"}}
