ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
The YPM is a one-of-a-kind Master’s program, visualized by a Nobel-winning thought-leader in Social Business and enterprise-led development, to equip mid-career professionals, working executives, and aspiring entrepreneurs for social impact business careers in the corporate, development, public, or enterprise sectors.
YPM bridges the disciplines of Sustainability and Business and is grounded in a Social Business Practicum that requires students to design and test a viable social enterprise as an end-product. The flexible instructional design combines online, in-class, and experiential learning. Students take courses from the MS in Sustainability and the MBA programs and proceed through a Practicum offered by Yunus Center AIT and the Yunus Foundation, with 4 Masterclasses taught by Professor Muhammad Yunus.
YPM is a 30-credit professional program credentialed jointly by the AIT’s School of Environment, Resources and Development and the School of Management, and hosted by the Yunus Center AIT in collaboration with the Yunus Foundation in Thailand and the Yunus Academia Network in 95 Universities in 5 Continents.
