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 in business and in life.

Our Community

The Hockey Club, one of SOM’s most popular student groups, rallies students and partners of all skill levels for drills, games, and off-ice traditions.

I wanted to learn more about computer science and AI at SOM. In Large Language Models, we focus on practical AI applications. We jumped into vibe coding right away and have used AI to create chatbots, translate videos to text, and even generate marketing campaigns. Professor Jensen makes his classes very fun and interactive, and he hosts coding workshops that I go to in my free time.

Throughout the recruiting process, I met regularly with a coach in the Career Development Office. She helped me understand how recruiting works in the U.S., kept me accountable, and just provided general support. The Business and Environment Club, which hosts internship panels and coffee chats, introduced me to a broad range of environmental careers. Whenever I was interested in a position, there was almost always someone from the Yale Center for Business and the Environment who could introduce me.
