History

Beginning in the 1950 and '60s, Yale University began its efforts to expand its coursework offerings in business and large organization management. In 1971, Yale University received a bequest for the creation of a program in management from Frederick W. Beinecke, PhB 1909, and the Yale Corporation approved the establishment of a School of Organization and Management two years later. The School's first class arrived in 1976 for a two-year program that awarded a master's degree in public and private management (MPPM).[5]

Founders Hall, the school's former main building

Following evolution in the practice and instruction of management in higher education, the school changed its name to the Yale School of Management in 1994.[6] The School began offering a master of business (MBA) degree in 1999.[7]

Steinbach Hall, a mansion formerly used by the school on Hillhouse Avenue

Yale SOM launched an MBA for Executives for healthcare professionals in 2005, and in 2006 it introduced SOM's integrated core curriculum, which is designed to prepare leaders for cross-functional environments in modern businesses and organizations.[8] The integrated core is a set of mandatory team-taught classes taken during the first year of MBA study focusing on solving business problems from stakeholder's perspectives (Such as "the Employee," "the Competitor," and "the Executive"), in contrast to traditional business school courses that are more segmented and less integrated.[9]

Concurrently in 2012, SOM launched the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) and the Master of Advanced Management (MAM) program, a one-year program in advanced leadership and management, open to students who have earned or are earning an MBA or equivalent degree from GNAM member schools.[10]

In 2014, Yale SOM enrolled its first class of students in an expanded MBA for Executives program, offering the Yale MBA integrated core along with advanced study in asset management, healthcare, or sustainability. That same year, SOM's new building, Evans Hall, opened.[11]

Campus

Front of Evans Hall

Edward P. Evans Hall, a 249,743-square-foot building named after the Yale alumnus who donated $50 million to the school, is the new home for Yale School of Management as of January 2014.[12] The building, capturing the retro-futuristic bimorphic architectural spirit, is situated at the northern end of the Yale University campus at 165 Whitney Avenue on 4.25 acres and cost a reported $189 million.[13][14]

An inaugural conference entitled "Business + Society: Leadership in an Increasingly Complex World" marked the opening of the new campus. The three-day conference examined major trends transforming markets and organizations around the world.[15]

The building was designed by Foster + Partners, Design Architect with Gruzen Samton, Architect of Record. Foster + Partners is the firm chaired by Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Lord Norman Foster ARCH ’62. Edward P. Evans Hall houses technology-enabled classrooms, faculty offices, academic centers, and student and meeting spaces organized around an enclosed courtyard. The design is intended to create a teaching and learning environment that will support the school’s integrated MBA curriculum and connect the Yale SOM community.[16]

MAM program

The Master of Advanced Management program is a one-year program for students from Global Network for Advanced Management schools who want to deepen their understanding of the most complex management issues facing leaders worldwide.

MAM students participate in a required series of courses and discussions oriented around major trends in global business and the role of business leaders, and customize their experience by choosing electives from throughout Yale University.

The MAM class of 2016 is composed of 63 students from 34 countries and 20 Global Network for Advanced Management schools and is 38% women.[17]

MBA program

Integrated Curriculum

For the 2006–2007 academic year, the School introduced its Integrated Curriculum, an effort to move away from the typical "siloed" teaching approach to a more integrated perspective.[18] The curriculum is designed to reflect the contexts encountered by today's leaders to prepare students for different scenarios and environments in the global economy.[19] Courses in this first year curriculum are taught in two primary segments: Orientation to Management and Organizational Perspectives.

Orientation to Management

The Orientation to Management is the first segment of the curriculum, which introduces students to core concepts and business skills. The constituent courses include Managing Groups and Teams, Global Virtual Teams, Basics of Accounting, Probability Modeling and Statistics, Basics of Economics, Modeling Managerial Decisions, and Introduction to Negotiation.[20]

Organizational Perspectives

The core of the integrated curriculum and first-year experience is a series of multi-disciplinary, team-taught master classes called Organizational Perspectives. These courses include Employee, Innovator, Operations Engine, Sourcing and Managing Funds, Competitor, Customer, Investor, The Global Macro-economy, and State and Society.[21] The final Organizational Perspectives Course, the Executive, invites students to evaluate and solve a series of case studies involving cross-national or global business challenges and draw on the subject matter taught in the other Organizational Perspectives courses and Orientation to Management skills.[22]

The Organizational Perspectives courses draw from multi-media "raw" cases developed by SOM and the Global Network for Advanced Management peer schools on topics from real-world challenges facing business, government, and nonprofit organizations.[23]

Electives

MBA Candidates are able to take electives courses at the School of Management during their second semester of their first year and all throughout their second year.[24] These electives include traditional instruction as well as independent reading and research with professors and instructors.[25]

SOM students are also permitted to enroll in classes offered by another school at Yale University including the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Yale Law School, Yale School of Public Health, and undergrad classes at Yale College.[26]

Global Studies Requirement

MBA candidates are required to complete a Global Studies Requirement prior to graduation. This requirement can be fulfilled a number of ways including an International Experience Course, a Global Network Week, a Global Network Course, The Global Social Entrepreneurship Course, the Global Social Enterprise Course, or a term-long international exchange with a partner school.[27]

Leadership Development Program

All Yale School of Management students participate in the Leadership Development Program that commences during orientation and continues throughout their tenure at SOM. The curriculum is composed of a series of graded classes, assessments, group and individual meetings, and professional coaching opportunities to develop each student's leadership style and potential.[28]

During their first year, MBA candidates take the Leadership Fundamentals course in the fall and the Advanced Leadership course in the spring. Second-year students complete a year-long practicum overseen by leadership coaches and professionals.[29]

MBA for Executives

The MBA for Executives at SOM during the 2015–2016 academic year includes 63 students, 41% of whom are women.[30] Graduates of the MBA for Executives program go through the full integrated core curriculum and leadership development program. They also take advanced management courses as well as colloquia and advanced courses in one of three areas of focus: healthcare, asset management, or sustainability.[31]
