Yale School of Management

The Yale SOM mission to educate leaders for business and society is put into practice every day by our graduates, who embody our vision for them as inspiring, broadly engaged, values-based leaders who own and solve hard problems that matter.

The Yale Management integrated curriculum is designed to foster and develop the distinctive qualities that have made Yale SOM graduates leaders in so many fields.

The Yale School of Management has always been known for its innovative approach to management education. From our founding more than 30 years ago, we have promoted the radical idea — not so radical anymore — that good management is essential in every sector, private, nonprofit, or public; and that good management can and should promote the greater good. That’s what our mission of educating leaders for business and society is all about.

Yale SOM graduates are leaders in every field of business and management. Regardless of the career track they pursue, our graduates bring a public-spirited awareness and a disposition for innovation.

Our MBA program provides a rigorous training in fundamental skills as a foundation to help students develop meaningful aspirations. While the Yale SOM community is generally cooperative and supportive (aided by the fact that we don’t compute class rank), it is also infused with a restless ambition — a willingness to think creatively and take risks in order to improve the world.
