Our mission is to educate leaders for business & society. The drive to build successful organizations that make a difference inspires our curriculum, our approach to research, and our community.

We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world.

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change.

I chose the MAM degree for its global, interdisciplinary approach to business education. The program’s highly personalized structure has allowed me to map a learning journey not only within SOM, but also across Yale’s broader academic ecosystem. Because of this flexibility, I’ve developed the strategic and managerial skills necessary to lead in complex times.
