Since the curriculum redesign in 2006, the school has developed over 40 online cases, which provide a media-rich learning environment for students in support of the multidisciplinary nature of the newly integrated curriculum. The planned launch of an alumni portal, following the 2008 redesign of the student portal, advances the long-term vision to create a seamless online environment that supports prospective and current students, faculty, administration, and alumni.

SCHOOL COMMENTS

s

Yale's core first-year program exceeded all my expectations. It's on par with the much more prestigious law school. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity

Our dean and the faculty were very accessible, given the small program size. Students often met with the dean over breakfast to discuss what they had on their minds. We had town hall meetings as well, which updated students, faculty and administration on the most recent SOM changes. -- Investment Banking

I liked that New Haven is less than two hours from New York and Boston. The school location made it very easy to visit investment banks. -- Investment Banking
