Across all sectors, today’s global leaders must be outstanding managers. They must understand how competition works, how organizations function, and what makes leaders effective. They must have a firm grasp on major global risks and trends, thrive in cross-cultural environments, and know how to make meaningful connections across knowledge domains to craft innovative, entrepreneurial solutions to vexing problems. The MAM curriculum is built to enable students to nimbly meet these challenges of global leadership.
Our Curriculum
As an MAM student, you will participate in a required series of courses and discussions oriented around major trends in global business and the role of business leaders in today's society. You will also have the opportunity to curate your own intellectual journey at Yale University.
All MAM students are expected to participate fully in MAM required courses in the fall semester. MAM required courses bring together the diverse cohort for regular opportunities for exchange and learning. All MAM students are also expected to build a customized selection of elective courses that meet their personal interests and professional goals. The majority of the MAM student’s course of study is self-designed through this selection of electives from across both Yale SOM and Yale University.
MAM Required Courses
There are two interconnected components that serve as the foundation of the MAM required curriculum: Topics in Advanced Management for Business & Society and Global Leadership: Personal and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
Yale Electives Courses
The Electives portion of the MAM curriculum provides you with the opportunity to curate your own intellectual journey at Yale, allowing you to build upon your already strong knowledge of business fundamentals and giving them a distinct leadership advantage.
The Master of Advanced Management program at Yale was a transformative milestone in my development as a woman leader. Immersed in a diverse and inspiring community, I acquired essential insights and skills that empowered me to lead with confidence and clarity. The rigorous curriculum and supportive community provided me with the strategic insights and leadership skills I will need to navigate the complexities of the business world. The program’s dedication to promoting inclusive leadership prepares its students to drive meaningful change and make a significant impact on the global business stage.
Students who pursue the Management Science Major will have the opportunity to qualify for the 24-month STEM Optional Practical Training extension.
