Let's dive in.
We at Yale School of Management Executive Education believe that leaders are learners, people who are unfailingly curious and are energized by fresh ideas. So we expect those drawn to our site will have questions. Good! We have answers. For any questions we don’t answer below, submit an inquiry via our Contact form. We’d love to hear from you.
Register for a program
Are there any application requirements to join a program?
Any registration or application requirements are outlined on the specific program pages, in the Application Information and Registration Information sections.
Is there any financial assistance?
We offer a 15% fee reduction for those employed by nonprofits, Yale graduates, small groups (3+), and veterans. For more information about veteran financial aid options and eligibility please visit our Veteran Benefits page.
There is also a 15% reduction in program fees if you have previously participated in a Yale Executive Education Program with Yale SOM, ExecOnline, or 2U/GetSmarter.
Special rates cannot be combined. More details on how to receive the fee reduction are found on the individual program pages.
Do Yale Executive Education programs qualify for tuition reimbursement?
Yale School of Management Executive Education programs are non-degree conferring and non-credit bearing, so program fees may not qualify for employer tuition reimbursement programs.
Please also note that select programs in our online portfolio are offered in collaboration with specialized digital education providers; while the Yale School of Management faculty direct all content production in these programs and authorize Yale School of Management certificates of participation upon completion of these programs, the provider of record for accounting purposes will be the digital education collaborator and not Yale University.
We encourage all prospective participants hoping to rely on employer tuition reimbursement programs to carefully review their organization’s policies before registering for an executive program at Yale.
Do any programs qualify for Veteran’s Benefits?
Yes. For more information about eligible programs, veteran financial aid options, and eligibility please visit our Veteran Benefits page.
How do I ask my boss or employer about time away from the office or for fee reimbursement?
Advocating for resources to support professional development can be hard. Many of our program pages include a justification letter template for you to update and share with your employer. If you do not see one or would like guidance, please reach out to somexeced.info@yale.edu.

Social Media / Personal Photography
We love to hear from our executive learners and encourage them to build upon and share their meaningful connections and program experiences. At the same time, we must also be mindful of our individual responsibilities to respect the rights and privacy of others. Business leaders who come to Yale to learn cannot make the most of their experience if they need to worry that what they say in a program session could be shared beyond the session without their permission. Accordingly, we ask that our clients, collaborators, and program participants follow these guidelines:
-
Sharing, posting, or distributing faculty content, including slides, handouts, recordings, transcripts—as well as reproductions (by any means) of any instructional content—is never permitted. Your sponsoring organization is permitted to share only with participants registered in the program and only for the participants’ own personal and private use.
-
Individual participants are welcome to share their personal experiences as a Yale Executive Education program participant, including posting on their own social media accounts, in a manner that respects the rights and privacy of others and that is consistent with the policies and guidelines of their sponsoring organization.
-
Respecting the individual rights of our participants and faculty is of utmost importance to us. Accordingly, clients and collaborators, whether acting through their own staff or through contracted media professionals, are generally not permitted to document executive programs through any means (including written reports, photography, and audio/visual recordings) without proper authorization from the university.
Smoking
Yale is a tobacco free campus, smoking and the use of all prohibited products is not permitted in any areas. Smoking is defined as inhaling or burning any lighted or heated tobacco or other substance, whether natural or synthetic, in any matter or any form.
Tax Documentation
Receipts for payment of program fees are available upon request to the Executive Education Registrar. Yale University does not issue form 1098-T in connection with non-degree executive education programs.
