Our Connection to Yale

You’ll participate in the intellectual life of Yale and engage with leading thinkers and teachers across the university.

Effective leaders for business and society can grasp how financial decisions impact society, and how political and cultural trends are likely to affect their ventures. Yale University is home to leaders in all areas of study and thought, and you’ll learn to understand different points of view by participating in campus life.

SOM has many points of connection with the broader university:

• Our students frequently take classes in other schools and departments, while students from other parts of Yale visit Evans Hall for SOM courses.
• We welcome a substantial number of joint-degree students each year.
• Our entrepreneurship programs draw students from across Yale, and SOM students have launched many ventures with partners from other parts of the university.
• Our faculty collaborate with experts at Yale Law School, the Yale School of Medicine, and other Yale institutions on major research projects.

Yale SOM students take advantage of facilities across the Yale campus, learning in historic and state-of-the-art settings.

There are no boundaries when it comes to entrepreneurship at Yale: Yale SOM’s Program on Entrepreneurship draws students from across the campus, while university-wide events like #StartupYale and programs like the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale convene entrepreneurs from all disciplines and backgrounds. Many SOM entrepreneurs have collaborated with leading Yale researchers to bring innovative products to market.
