Students launching new ventures benefit from the solid foundation in business principles and deep understanding of working in teams cultivated through the Yale SOM integrated curriculum.
Yale SOM’s Program on Entrepreneurship was launched in 2014 to augment that knowledge by creating a culture of entrepreneurship at the school and across the university through expanded electives and targeted support for founders. In addition, students benefit from a myriad of student-run and institutional resources that promote entrepreneurship.
Our curriculum
Entrepreneurship is woven throughout the Yale SOM curriculum. The school's integrated curriculum, emphasizing a team-taught, integrated approach to problem solving, helps students understand the whole of the enterprise rather than individual functions and provides potential entrepreneurs with a deep understanding of how to develop and sustain a venture. In addition, the Program on Entrepreneurship and the school's faculty offer a series of electives focused on the skills needed to grow a startup venture of any kind into an impactful organization.
