We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world. 

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change in business and in life.

There are very few environments where you can gain this level of exposure across industries, roles, and ways of thinking, while still building a strong academic foundation. Because of this experience, I now have more options—and more agency—than I originally expected.

I took Introduction to AI Applications at Yale College last semester, along with a large language model course and a software development class, and ended up coding three different applications. It’s not something I had ever planned on doing, but I’m so happy I did. Those skills are really valuable in today’s job market, and I’m able to understand technical conversations much better.
