Our community

The student experience
Become a student at SOM, a citizen of Yale, and a part of the New Haven community
Your sense of your own purpose will be strengthened by joining a community of people who value values and support each other in pursuit of impact.

As part of Yale University, you'll be among leading thinkers and teachers, as well as a cohort of fellow students pursuing excellence across fields of study.
As part of our mission, we engage with the problems afflicting our world—notably issues of discrimination, bias, and equity—and seek to build a community that achieves and celebrates diversity.
We believe the most impactful leaders always weigh both sides of the ampersand in our mission—business and society.
Our mission in practice
Our people live out the school’s mission by attacking the problems that blight human well-being.
