Integrated Curriculum

Through a slate of carefully coordinated courses, the Yale SOM integrated core curriculum helps students build a broad understanding of markets and organizations and develop the skills to lead in today’s increasingly complex global marketplace.

Just what does “integrated” mean?

Our curriculum is integrated in that it looks at what it takes to run an organization as a whole, rather than just applying one discipline at a time. So, we have a course on the Customer, which teaches you to think about everything that affects the customer experience — that includes operations, psychology, organizational behavior, and accounting, in addition to marketing. Being able to take a broad view will help you as you face increasingly complex challenges and opportunities in your professional life.

Leadership Development Program
Our mission is to educate leaders for business and society, so we have a comprehensive Leadership Development Program that stretches through your two years at Yale SOM. You will develop a plan for your own growth as a leader and then be expected to act on it.
Organizational Perspectives
These courses are unique to Yale SOM and will help you develop a CEO's view of an organization. In other words, what are all the factors you need to understand to make a good decision? How do different parts of the organization affect each other?
International Experience
Imagine a ten-day moving seminar, in which you meet with business, government, and civic leaders to get a deep understanding of one piece of the global economy.
Integrated Leadership Perspective
This course pulls together everything you learned in the first year and helps you understand how it all works in real companies and organizations.
Orientation to Management
We believe in a rigorous and empirical approach to decision-making. To accomplish that, you'll need to learn the foundational skills and language to understand organizations and markets. It's a lot of work, but it makes everything else possible.
