Yale School of Management

At Yale SOM, everything starts with the mission to educate leaders for business and society. That means you are not just learning how to lead a company but how to think across sectors and systems. The famous Raw Case Approach throws you into real-world decision-making with messy, unstructured data that mirrors the complexity of modern leadership. It trains you to handle ambiguity, to see the connections between business, government, and the nonprofit world, and to collaborate across differences.

What makes SOM unique is how intentionally it blurs boundaries. You are encouraged to take classes across Yale's graduate schools and work with peers who come from public health, law, policy, and more. The community values humility, curiosity, and purpose. It is a place for people who want their careers to mean something beyond a title or salary. At SOM, the question is never just what decision to make, but what kind of leader you want to be while making it.
