Yale School of Management Launches Innovative New MBA Curriculum
New Haven, Conn., September 5, 2006 – The Yale School of Management today introduces an innovative MBA curriculum that replaces courses in finance, marketing, and other subjects that have been the mainstay of business education for the last 50 years with multidisciplinary courses that cut across functional boundaries to provide management education in a richer, more relevant context. Yale’s new approach aligns the way management is taught with the way managers operate every day and challenges students to shape their career goals around their personal values and aspirations. The 208 students of the Class of 2008 begin the new courses today, the start of the 2006-2007 academic term.
“The management profession has experienced profound change in the past few decades, but management education has not,” said Joel M. Podolny, Dean of the Yale School of Management. “Most business school curricula are based on a model that made sense in the past. But today, a successful manager must be able to identify and frame business problems and move across a variety of organizational, political, and geographic boundaries to solve those problems. Our new curriculum teaches the integrated skills contemporary managers need.”
