When paired with the Yale MAM, you gain an even more in-depth understanding of global issues that enable you to make an even bigger impact as a global business leader.
In the Yale MAM, 20% of your curriculum is comprised of four required courses, while the other 80% is comprised of courses from either the Yale School of Management of other graduate and professional programs at Yale University. Some popular electives include:

Student experience
While Rodolpho Campos's MBA gave him the leadership and business skills he needed for his position with General Motors. It was the Yale MAM that elevated his skillset and provided him a global network. "We are 50 students from 29 countries who discuss, interact, and gain perspective from each other." he says.
Learning alongside such a diverse class gave Campos the advantage of international perspective on his industry. And thanks to Yale's location in the US. Campos was sponsored by General Motors to work in their headquarters in Detroit for a year, before he was sent to their offices in China.
