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.

Since its founding 50 years ago, Yale SOM has sought to be a different kind of business school—one that educates leaders who can improve their organizations and their communities.

Go behind the scenes of The Executive, an SOM core course that brings leaders into the classroom so students can analyze pivotal business decisions with insights from the people who made them.

SOM prepared me for this summer in a way I didn’t fully appreciate until I was on the job. The comprehensive, holistic curriculum trained me to grasp the bigger organizational picture—a skill that made all the difference when I was leading at a scale I’d never experienced before.

At SOM, the curriculum’s flexibility—and the opportunity to take classes across the university—has been a major benefit. I want to study management, but I also want to learn about computer science, politics, and international transactions. In that way, SOM has been more than just a business school. It’s a place where I’ve built an interdisciplinary mindset and prepared myself to work across sectors and borders.
