Informational Event

Choosing the Joint Degree – an informational session

The YSE/SOM joint degree program creates thoughtful, passionate, and informed leaders equipped with practical skills - from finance to forestry. Students entering this program join a community that is helping to accelerate the transition to a just and thriving world. You can learn more about our current joint degree students and alumni of the program here.

Are you considering this joint degree? Join us for an in-person informational session with SOM & YSE admissions, CBEY staff, and current joint degree students at different stages of the experience. 

Stuart DeCew, Executive Director at the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, will moderate a panel of current joint degree students as they explore their journeys to and through the joint degree program and then take questions from the audience.

Topics will include:

  • Why did you apply to the joint degree program?   Why pursue a joint degree? How has your time at Yale shaped your professional and personal goals? 
  • What are the strengths of both schools? How can you take advantage of and adapt to the culture/network of both? How can you experiment during an extra year at Yale? How can you take advantage of two summer internships?

Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the program and the experience from the students themselves!

Lunch will be provided. We are committed to reducing waste at our event.  Therefore, we ask that when you register, you commit to doing your best to attend.
