The School of Management at Yale University offers these departments and concentrations: accounting, consulting, economics, entrepreneurship, ethics, finance, general management, health care administration, human resources management, international business, leadership, marketing, not-for-profit management, production/operations management, organizational behavior, portfolio management, public administration, supply chain management/logistics, and quantitative analysis/statistics and operations research. Its tuition is full-time: $72,350 per year and executive: $96,750 per year. At graduation, 75.40 percent of graduates of the full-time program are employed.
As part of Yale’s integrated MBA curriculum, graduate students study "raw" cases – which requires them to analyze a wide array of materials, such as stock charts and articles – instead of standard business case studies. All students complete the Leadership Development Program and fulfill a global studies requirement, which typically involves a trip overseas. Students take electives in both years at the Yale School of Management, either through the school or other departments, such as the highly ranked Yale Law School.
There are several academic centers for students to get involved in, including the International Center for Finance, the Center for Business and the Environment, and the Center for Customer Insights. Students also have access to dozens of clubs, which run the gamut from professional development groups to sports teams and community service organizations. Study abroad opportunities exist through the London School of Economics and Political Science and the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management in Beijing, among others.
The Yale School of Management also offers an MBA for Executives, a program with a weekend format that offers several focus areas, including asset management and health care. Other Yale School of Management initiatives include the CEO College, an educational program for emerging top executives that is run through the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute. There are also doctoral programs in accounting, finance, marketing, and organizations and management, among others.

There is also an M.D./Ph.D. degree and a Physician Associate program.
The School of Medicine is affiliated with highly ranked institutions including the Yale-New Haven Hospital. All medical students must complete a thesis on original research in order to graduate. For research help, students can go to their personal librarian, a resource assigned at the beginning of a student’s time in medical school to help them navigate through their four years of education. Students can enroll in an optional fifth year of school if they want to do more research or study or work abroad.
There are more than 50 medical student organizations to check out, and the school hosts a handful of prominent speakers each year through the Perspectives on Medicine series. Students can get involved in community service through initiatives like the student-run Haven Free Clinic and science teaching programs at local schools including Hill Regional High School.
