The heart of the first-year curriculum is a series of multidisciplinary team-taught courses, called Organizational Perspectives, that teach students to draw on a broad range of information, tools, and skills to develop creative solutions and make strategic decisions.

The Yale SOM core culminates in the Integrated Leadership Perspective class, which gives students practical experience in synthesizing the lessons of the core through a series of case studies and group projects involving organizations of varying scale and purpose.
International Experience The International Experience trips are a mandatory component of the Yale integrated MBA curriculum. Each of the trips, led by SOM faculty members, is fully integrated with the school’s curriculum. Students prepare for the trips by researching industries in their destination countries, giving presentations to classmates, and hearing from experts on the region.
The school’s team of case writers continually work on developing new teaching materials that require students to view business problems from multiple perspectives, unlike traditional business cases, which typically present a business problem from a single point of view.
SOM’s pioneering web-based "raw" cases are open-ended, multi-perspective presentations that can feature thousands of pages of relevant material that students must analyze, such as 10-Ks, analyst reports, news articles, stock charts, and interviews with key players. This format reflects the way managers must access and analyze information to make informed business decisions.
Students at Yale SOM are encouraged to work together in a cooperative and supportive manner. To encourage such an atmosphere, the school does not compute grade point average or class rank.
Grades are intended primarily for internal purposes. Grade records are not released to potential employers or others outside the School, with the exception of the grade of Distinction.
Nonetheless, students are held to rigorous standards at Yale SOM. Student performance is graded on a four-point scale. Two grades (Distinction and Proficient) indicate proficiency in a course and two (Pass and Fail) reflect nonproficient work. Students must receive proficient grades in a majority of their courses to graduate.
