Students' Responses to the Yale Integrated MBA Curriculum

"My choice to come to Yale was easy. SOM educates leaders for all sectors of society. And the curriculum is really focused on creating leaders who understand all the sectors, and can solve any problem that confronts them."
— Janhabi Nandy '09

"The new curriculum gives students the foundation they need but in a way that's more in line with how they'll actually use it in business."
— R. Gerard McGeary '09

"I appreciated how the structure of the curriculum, being more interdisciplinary and concept-focused, allowed for bringing in social concerns and questions of coordinating across sectors — understanding the total impact of a company’s decisions not only in an economic sense, but also on other registers as well." — Ian Moss '09

"When I came to visit, I loved the school. The new curriculum was just being implemented. I was captured by the idea of looking at businesses not through siloed functions but from the perspectives of various roles." — Sarah Pickard '09

"The core curriculum is built on a number of perspectives aimed at teaching a manager to assess a problem from multiple angles. Everything I saw confirmed just how relevant the curriculum is to what managers face every day. It’s amazing how something that can seem so different in the abstract, is really so practical when you put it into action." — John Eng ’09

"To run a company, you need to think broadly, to be able to take into account the needs of employees, investors, and customers. It's not enough to just understand finance or marketing. To be a great CEO, you need to understand different perspectives. And the SOM curriculum is designed perfectly to accomplish this." — Roberto Jimenez '09
