Yale University
Yale University is a prestigious Ivy League university located in New Haven, CT. Yale was founded in 1701. It is the third oldest university in the United States.
Yale University offers some of the most premier academic programs worldwide. Professors and other faculty members at Yale often receive international-recognition for their research and publications. In fact, multiple U.S. presidents and Supreme Court justices studied at Yale.
The nation’s premier divinity and theatre school are located at Yale University. Some of the best drama students apply to Yale’s theatre graduate program.
A few of Yale’s other premier academic programs include:
- Architecture
- Classics
- Archaeology
- Linguistics
- Biomedical Engineering
- Film
- Nursing
- Law
Students admitted to Yale’s medical school can specialize in these fields:
- Surgery
- Psychiatry
- Obstetrics
- Neurosurgery
Yale students have plenty of opportunities to participate in cultural events while completing their education. World famous art museums, including the Yale University Art Gallery and Yale Center for British Art are located on campus, in addition to the Yale Repertory, Yale’s famous theater. Yale University sponsors all types of student organizations.
Yale University is very selective. Certain academic programs are more difficult than others to be admitted into. For example, few students are admitted to Yale’s MFA in Acting, considered by many to be the nation’s best acting program.
All students applying to Yale and specific academic programs must have high grade point averages, submit excellent letters of recommendation, and receive high scores on entrance exams.
Students unable to pay tuition and other fees can apply for financial aid. Yale provides work-study programs and departmental scholarships. Pell grants and student loans are also available to students who qualify.
Paid graduate student teaching and research positions are available at Yale. Most students utilize multiple funding sources to pay for school.
Yale Online Degree Programs
Unfortunately, Yale does not offer students the opportunity to earn an accredited undergraduate or graduate degree online. As far as we know, all Yale degree oriented programs must be completed on campus in a traditional classroom setting.
Through its new OYC program (Open Yale Courses) the university provides lectures, courses and other educational materials free to the public via the Internet. The online courses cover an array of liberal arts disciplines, including social sciences, humanities, and biological and physical sciences. These online courses have been designed to appeal to life-long learners, educators, high school students and college students. However, no course credit, degree or certificate is awarded for taking OYC online courses.
Each online course comes with a complete set of classroom lectures delivered via high-quality video, a course syllabi, reading assignments, and useful problem sets to help you learn the subject material.
