Master of Advanced Management (M.A.M.) Program
The Yale School of Management offers a one-year program leading to the degree of Master of Advanced Management (M.A.M.). An M.B.A. or equivalent degree is requisite for admission to the M.A.M. program. This program, established in 2012, is only open to individuals who have graduated within the past two years from a school that is a member of the Global Network for Advanced Management (http://advancedmanagement.net). The program requires a year of full-time study in residence, during which the student completes 40 units of course work (the equivalent of ten term-long classes).
The 40 units of course work are chosen from the offerings described in the M.B.A. courses for 2012–2013 or from approved offerings in other Yale schools and departments.
Enrollment Requirement
The M.A.M. must be completed in two consecutive terms of full-time study, unless a student receives advance permission for a leave of absence (see Leaves of Absence in the chapter General Information).
Number of Course Units
A student must:
- 1. Achieve credit, i.e., a grade of Pass or better, in 40 units of course work, normally earning 20 in each term. Successful completion of more than 40 units does not offset deficiency in any other degree requirement; and
- 2. Enroll in and receive a grade in a minimum of 20 units of course work in each term. Further, each student must maintain enrollment in at least five courses during each part of the term. Taking a course overload in any part of the term does not excuse a student from the five-course minimum in any other part of the term.
Timing Requirement
To be permitted to enroll in the second term of the M.A.M. program, a student must meet all of the following requirements:
- 1. Have achieved Proficiency in at least 10 units of course work; and
- 2. Have received credit in at least 16 units of course work.
Quality Standard
A student falls short of the Quality Standard if he/she:
- 1. Accumulates nonproficient grades in 11 or more units of course work; or
- 2. Accumulates fewer than 40 units of course work with a grade of Pass or better.
Academic Standards
The Review Process, the description of the Academic Standards Committee, and the Appeal of Academic Dismissal are described in the section on Academic Standards in the chapter M.B.A. Degree Program.
Academic Grounds for Dismissal
Any student whose academic performance puts him/her at risk of not fulfilling all requirements for the degree may be reviewed for dismissal. In cases where dismissal is not automatic, the Academic Standards Committee may permit the student to remain in the program if the committee finds that the conditions that caused the deficient performance no longer prevail and judges that the student will be able to satisfy all requirements for the degree.
Dismissal from the M.A.M. program is automatic if and when it becomes impossible for a student to satisfy the degree requirements with respect to the Number of Course Units, the Timing Requirement, or the Quality Standard. Thus, dismissal becomes automatic if a student:
- 1. Fails to receive credit in 40 units of course work by the end of the normal period of residency; or
- 2. Fails to receive a grade in at least five courses for each term or part of term; or
- 3. Accumulates nonproficient grades in 11 or more units of course work.
