Yale SOMのミッションは、"Educating leaders for business and society" です。

このミッションの実現のため、現在Yale SOMは以下の3つの目標を掲げています。

1. Be the business school that is most integrated with its home university.

2. Be the most distinctively global U.S. business school.

3. Be recognized as the best source of elevated leaders for all sectors and regions.

"It has been the school's distinctive aspiration since its founding to educate leaders for all sectors - public, private, nonprofit. We continue to be animated by the belief that leaders who attack problems with analytical rigor, energy, and caring have profound impact on society."    - Dean Kerwin Charles
