Make the most of your Stanford Experience.
Carta helps students make data-driven decisions to craft their educational paths.
Tools for maximizing knowledge and realizing potential
Students have a limited amount of time to take advantage of the classroom opportunities presented at Stanford. We build tools and provide information to help them feel content with their curricular decisions.
Students love what we're doing.
"My [older] sister showed me Carta. It broke down the amount of work that [each class] would be, and then I was like, 'okay this is manageable. 'I think I can plan classes on my own."
"[Carta] is a very vital part to my life decisions. Every time I don't plan out a quarter fully [with Carta] I regret it after."
"I’m actually using Carta to narrow in on the courses that I think are going to be most valuable."
"Explore Courses tells you what the class is about, but I feel like Carta gives you a more accurate reflection of what the students are saying."
Explore
Find a class that fits your needs.
Carta augments search with course recommendations and a departmental catalog to help you build out your best class schedule — whether you want to find specific requirements or try new things.

We display Stanford-provided data such as enrollment statistics, time commitment estimates, reviews, and more to make finalizing your quarter more certain.
