SOM EMBA at the half way point

Experience during the program

As a professional engineer and operations manager with 12 years experience, I was looking for a business school that would provide me with the financial and marketing skills that I would need transition into the next phase of my career. Originally drawn to Yale's mission of educating leaders for business and society, the culture around SOM is much more collaborative than other programs. As a student in the EMBA program, I have most enjoyed the lively debates between student and faculty as academic theory meets real world application. For someone considering an Executive MBA program, I would highly recommend spending a weekend on campus to speak with the admissions team and sit in on a class. Nothing you read online can replicate the energy and experience of being on campus.
