We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world. 

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change in business and in life.

Our Community

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We asked graduating students to tell us about the faculty, friends, and experiences that enriched their time at Yale SOM.

Founders Practicum gave me a community of students exploring their own entrepreneurial ventures across industries. My classmates have always been willing to offer new perspectives based on their own experiences, helping me tackle roadblocks along the way. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the encouragement of classmates and faculty who have equipped me to move from ideation to action.

I took Introduction to AI Applications at Yale College last semester, along with a large language model course and a software development class, and ended up coding three different applications. It’s not something I had ever planned on doing, but I’m so happy I did. Those skills are really valuable in today’s job market, and I’m able to understand technical conversations much better.
