All leadership is global
All the big issues faced by organizations today have a global component. You'll need to understand the ways that societies around the globe are bound together, as well as the many ways that the business, legal, political, social, and cultural environments of different regions vary, sometimes dramatically.
At Yale SOM, you’ll be part of an International community with a broad interest in events around the globe, and you'll complete required international study.
Global Studies Requirement
As an MBA student, you will be required to participate in at least one of the following before you graduate.
International Experience
The International Experience course serves as a case study in learning about the complexities of a business environment from a leader's point of view. The course begins with a half semester of classroom study and culminates with a 10-day trip to one or more business capitals, during which you'll visit companies and meet political leaders. The course gives you an enhanced ability to think globally that will be valuable for the rest of your time at Yale and beyond.
Global Network Weeks
Yale SOM is a founding member of the Global Network for Advanced Management, which fosters substantive ties among the world’s leading business schools. During the semi-annual Global Network Week, you'll have the opportunity to travel to one of the 30+ schools in the Global Network for an intensive course in an area of local interest or specialization.
