Silver Scholar MBAs

Silver Scholars matriculate at Yale SOM directly from undergraduate, usually without any full-time work experience. They start in August with all first-year MBAs. However, instead of seeking a summer internship, they seek an extended work experience (minimum one year) before returning to Yale SOM for their second year of MBA coursework. Some Silver Scholars fulfill this requirement with a single, year-long, early-career or MBA position, while other students secure multiple short-term internships throughout the year. During their second year at Yale SOM, they recruit for full-time roles alongside the other graduating MBAs.
