Yale School of Management Pre-MBA Leadership Program

The Yale School of Management (SOM) Pre-MBA Leadership Program is a highly selective, two-week summer program aimed at college sophomores, juniors and seniors and recent graduates from populations typically under-represented in management education. We introduce you to the fundamentals of management education and give you the tools necessary to hone your individual leadership skills.
During this fully funded, two-week summer program on June 10 – 23, 2012, a group of 40 will be introduced to the fundamentals of management education, and have the opportunity develop their individual leadership skills. Additionally, this year’s program is sponsored by Goldman Sachs, so an element of the program focuses on career opportunities and professional development.

While we welcome applicants from every profile, the Pre-MBA Leadership Program at SOM aims to attract promising students from under-represented minorities and non-traditional pre-MBA tracks.

This emphasis on leadership for the greater good flows from the mission of the School of Management: to educate leaders for business and society.  When students know how to inspire people, as well as manage capital, materials and ideas, they become more potent agents of change.  We hope they will return to their respective institutions and enrich their community with not only these skills, but a (re)focused sense of purpose that will guide them for many years to come.
