Resources for EMBA and Non-SOM Students

Welcome to the Yale SOM site for EMBA and Non-SOM Students

MGT Course Selection

The request to enroll form will be available on August 18. 

Enrollment in SOM courses for non-SOM students is not guaranteed. We strongly advise against non-SOM students using SOM courses to fulfill graduation requirements, specifically spring-2 courses.

Note: Wait-listed Courses will be approved the week the class begins. 

The course directory can be found here.

Summary of Terms and Conditions for Non-SOM Students Enrolling in SOM Courses

  1. Enrollment & Registration Process
    • After receiving SOM's approval, you must take a screenshot of that approval to your own school’s Registrar for official course registration.
    • If you wish to audit or drop the course, that change must also be processed through your Registrar.
  2. Credit Determination
    • Your home school (not SOM) decides how much academic credit you receive for the SOM course.
  3. Course Materials Fee
    • There is a materials fee that covers materials distributed in class or on Canvas:
      • $20 for a half-semester course
      • $40 for a full-semester course
  4. Space Availability & Priority
    • Enrollment is space-dependent, and SOM students have priority.
    • Non-SOM students will only be accommodated after SOM students complete their enrollment.
  5. Media Recording Policy
    • By attending or participating in SOM classes, you consent to being recorded (video/audio/photo).
    • These recordings are only accessible to other enrolled students.
Auditing SOM Courses

Non-SOM Students:

You must have instructor permission to audit, and attendance is required. If approved, you need to contact your registrar to change your status to audit.

Current Students’ Spouse/Partners, Employees, Fellows, Alumni (MGT courses only):

Yale affiliates (current students' spouses or partners/employees/fellows) may audit two Yale SOM elective courses per academic semester and Yale SOM alumni may audit one Yale SOM elective course per academic semester with instructor approval at no cost. Auditors must be able to attend the course in-person on the Yale School of Management campus. The course directory can be found here. If instructor approval is granted, complete the Canvas Access Request Form.
