Earn 2 master’s degrees in 2 countries at 2 global business schools in 2 years.

The UBC Sauder -Yale SOM M2M allows students to study business and advanced management on two major campuses, respectively in Canada and the United States. Students spend year one at UBC Sauder in the MBA program and year two in the Yale School of Management’s Master of Advanced Management program. At the completion of their studies, students will graduate with an MBA degree from UBC Sauder and an MAM degree from Yale.
Program Structure
By spending two years at two leading business schools in different countries, students get a unique global perspective, learn from leading business experts in North America, and connect with two vibrant business school communities.
The UBC MBA and Yale MAM are complementary degrees, which only require an additional five months on top of a sixteen-month UBC MBA to complete both degrees as some credits completed at Yale count towards the UBC MBA. With the UBC MBA, students gain business experience and expertise that can transform your career path. When paired with the Yale MAM, students gain an even more in-depth understanding of global issues, enabling graduates to make an even bigger impact as a global business leader.
Credits earned at Yale through the MAM program will count toward the UBC MBA degree.
