Launch your career with a global advantage
The MMS in Global Business and Society (GBS) program offers double degree programs with HEC, HKUST, and UBC Sauder through M2M.
M2M is a suite of dual-degree opportunities for early career students. Earn two master's degrees in two years in two countries. Students spend Year 1 at a master in management degree at HEC Paris, Hong Kong’s HKUST Business School, or the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business, and Year 2 in Yale’s GBS program. M2M program participants can apply simultaneously to their Year 1 and Year 2 schools. If you are already a student or alum of one of these Year 1 programs, you may apply directly to Yale’s GBS program for your Year 2.
M2M program participants benefit from coordinated activities across the four schools, as well as an enlarged network of future global leaders.
