History

Campus

Steinbach and Evans Halls of the Yale School of Management

Yale's current campus includes a number of 19th-century mansions within the Hillhouse Avenue Historic District, including two by renowned architect Henry Austin. The campus also includes contemporary facilities, such as Donaldson Commons, which is named after William H. Donaldson, the founding dean of the School.

A planned new campus and main building, at an estimated cost of US $150 million, is scheduled for completion in late 2013. On September 17, 2007, Yale University President Richard Levin announced that renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners was selected to build the new campus. On December 20, 2010, President Levin announced that Yale had received a US $50 million gift from Yale alumnus Edward P. Evans, which will be recognized with the naming of the new main building as Edward P. Evans Hall. Ground was broken for the new campus on April 26, 2011.[1]

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.[2] The new curriculum is unique among those offered by leading business schools.[3]

Admission requirements include completion of an online application form, GMAT or GRE score, TOEFL/IELTS/PTE score for non-native English speakers, academic transcript, 3 essays, 4 short answer responses, and two professional recommendations. The application process has 3 rounds.

The class of 2012 has an average GMAT score of 722, an average undergraduate GPA of 3.52, and an average of 5 years of full-time work experience.[23][24] The acceptance rate was 17.3%.[25]

The five most represented undergraduate universities in the MBA student body for the combined classes of 2012 and 2013 are University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Harvard University, Cornell University, and Columbia University.[26]

Employment statistics

For the class of 2011, mean base salary upon graduation was $106,157. The mean signing bonus was $29,276.[27]

Joint-degree and scholarship programs

The School's joint-degree programs include the MBA/JD with Yale Law School, MBA/MD with Yale School of Medicine, MBA/PhD with Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, MBA/MEM with Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, MBA/MArch with Yale School of Architecture, MBA/MFA with Yale School of Drama, MBA/MDiv or MBA/MAR with Yale Divinity School, MBA/MPH with Yale School of Public Health, MBA/MA in International Relations with Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and MBA/MA in Russian and East European Studies with Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

The School also offers the Silver Scholars Program for exceptional college seniors. Among traditional MBA applicants, approximately 30% of incoming students receive merit-based academic scholarships based on prior academic performance, evidence of leadership potential, and standardized test scores.

Graduates with incomes of $77,600 or less who work full-time for government or nonprofit organizations can receive full reimbursement for their annual debt repayment on need-based loans. Those who make more than $77,600 can receive partial loan forgiveness. Eligible alumni may apply at any time during the first 10 years following graduation.

Student life

Students at the School, like all Yale University students and alumni, are called "Yalies" or "Elis" after Elihu Yale; they are also known as "SOMers." They operate more than 50 MBA student clubs. There are career-oriented clubs such as Finance, Private Equity, Biotechnology, Investment Management, Technology, Marketing and Consulting. There are also clinic type clubs, such as Global Social Enterprise and SOM Outreach, through which students complete pro bono consulting engagements with local and international non-profits. There are also athletic clubs including soccer, frisbee, crew, skiing, and squash. SOM participates in the coed MBA ice hockey tournaments during winter months. The Yale SOM Cup soccer tournament is held in October and attracts clubs from numerous top business schools. Each November, many students attend the Harvard-Yale football game (known as "The Game"), the location of which alternates each year between New Haven and Cambridge. The weekend's activities include the Harvard-Yale Leadership & Ethics Debate, an annual contest between the two schools' MBA students.[28] Yale MBA students, like other members of the Yale graduate student community, frequent Gryphon’s Pub, the bar owned and operated by GPSCY (Graduate and Professional Students Center at Yale).[29]

More graduates of the Yale School of Management enter management scholarship than do their contemporaries at other graduate schools of business, with more MBA graduates entering doctoral programs in business.

Doctoral program

The doctoral program is intended for students who plan scholarly careers involving research and teaching in management. The program is small and admits only a few highly qualified students each year. Students choose a field of specialization from the following: accounting, financial economics, marketing, and organizations and management. Flexibility is a central feature of the doctoral program.

Pre-MBA program

The school also offers a two-week program for college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates titled the Global Pre-MBA Leadership Program. It is intended to help attendees acquire business and leadership skills as well as introduce them to the benefits of an MBA degree. [30]

Research and endowment

The School is home to the following research centers:

The School's endowment fund, valued at US $536 million in 2011, is part of the larger Yale University endowment. The endowment is primarily used according to the donors' wishes, which include the support of teaching and research. Yale University endowment fund manager David Swensen has generated exceptional investment returns over the past two decades.[31]
