The Yale School of Management (SOM) has announced the launch of a formal Entrepreneurship Program, which will feature expanded course offerings and enhanced recruitment of entrepreneurial faculty and students. It also appointed Kyle Jensen, PhD as inaugural Shanna and Eric Bass ’05 Director of Entrepreneurial Programs and lecturer in entrepreneurship on April 17.
Yale has also pledged new scholarships and financial support to entrepreneurial students—all as part of a major new commitment to entrepreneurship at the school.
Jensen’s appointment coincided with the launch of a formal Entrepreneurship Program at Yale SOM. Jensen and his team will work from the newly established Entrepreneurial Studies Suite in Edward P. Evans Hall.
Yale SOM has established two new scholarships for students in each entering MBA class, to be granted on the basis of demonstrated interest in entrepreneurship and future potential as an entrepreneur. The school will also name up to five Entrepreneurial Fellows each year. These Fellows, after graduation, will receive two years of loan deferral to enable them to work full-time on a startup.
The expanded commitment to entrepreneurship has been made possible by $7 million in donations.
