Master of Advanced Management

The MAM is a one-year degree program at the Yale School of Management for exceptional MBA graduates from Global Network for Advanced Management schools who aspire to become global leaders for business and society.

Across all sectors, today’s global leaders must be outstanding managers. They must understand how competition works, how organizations function, and what makes leaders effective. They must have a firm grasp on major global risks and trends, thrive in cross-cultural environments, and know how to make meaningful connections across knowledge domains to craft innovative, entrepreneurial solutions to vexing problems. The MAM curriculum is built to enable students to nimbly meet these challenges of global leadership.

As an MAM student, you will participate in a required series of courses and discussions oriented around major trends in global business and the role of business leaders in today's society. You will also have the opportunity to curate your own intellectual journey at Yale University.

All MAM students are expected to participate fully in MAM required courses across both the fall and spring semesters. MAM required courses brings together the diverse cohort for regular opportunities for exchange and learning. All MAM students are also expected to build a customized selection of elective courses that meet their personal interests and professional goals. The majority of the MAM student’s course of study is self-designed through this selection of electives from across both Yale SOM and Yale University.

The mission of the Yale School of Management is to educate leaders for business and society.

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—whether that takes the form of launching a business that can refashion its market, advancing far-reaching and rigorously considered policy initiatives, or steering a multinational corporation with keen awareness of and respect for its impact on workers, communities, and the environment.

At Yale SOM, you’ll find a community committed to understanding how to address the most meaningful challenges facing our society, by connecting with likeminded, motivated colleagues, exploring the latest ideas from academic scholarship, and engaging with problems both on our doorstep and on far continents. Our degree programs and initiatives are focused on issues that lie at the intersection of business and society, including sustainability, asset management, healthcare, education, financial stability, the role of women in business, and global leadership.

Our students benefit from being in an environment where leading thinkers are grappling with all of these major topics and develop the critical advantage of understanding how business and society are so often linked and interdependent.
