    Yale University is a private, co-educational, non-sectarian university in New Hav

    Connecticut, with a talented and diverse student population, renowned faculty,

    beautiful campus, and world-class resources.

    Welcome to

    Y A L E U N I V E R S I T Y

    Yale has all the advantages and resources of a large researchuniversity, but it is small enough to be a friendly place. The GraduateSchool community comes together frequently for lectures, receptions,concerts even tailgate parties at the Yale Bowl.

    Yale was established in 1701

    as the Collegiate School and

    renamed a few years later in

    honor of British merchant

    Elihu Yale, whose generous

    donation made possible the

    completion of the rst build-

    ing on campus. For more than 300 years, Yale has been a

    leader in higher education, evolving from a regional institu-

    tion in the 18th and 19th centuries into a national university

    during the 20th century. During the 21st century, Yale is

    becoming a truly global university. www.yale.edu/gateways/stud

    As Yale enters its fourth century, our goal is to educate lead-

    ers and advance the frontiers of knowledge not simply for the

    United States, but for the entire world, according to Univer-

    sity President Richard C. Levin.

    The Graduate School offers programs leading to the

    m.a. , m.s ., m.phil . , and ph.d. In addition to the

    Graduate School and the College, the Univer-

    sity has 12 professional schools: Architecture,

    Art, Divinity, Drama, Engineering & Applied

    Science, Forestry and Environmental Studies, Law,

    Management, Medicine, Music, Nursing, and Public Health.

    The Graduate School at Yale is a community of scholars

    and scientists. Faculty members mentor their students.

    Cross-disciplinary collaborations thrive. Academic programs

    are augmented by professional preparation that includes

    training in teaching and career counseling.

    Academics are organized into three divi-

    sions: humanities, social sciences,

    and natural sciences. In all areas,

    Yales resources are extraordinary.

    Recent investments of over $1.5

    billion in research facilities have dramat-

    ically enhanced Yales offerings in the sciences. The

    Anlyan Center is the cornerstone of a major investment the

    University is making in biomedical research and education.

    Yale has committed over $500 million to the natural sciences,

    The Hall of Graduate Studies was built in1930 31 in the scholastic Gothic style, wit

    leaded glass windows, stone arches, whimsical carvings, and gracious courtyards.

    It houses the Graduate Schools administrative ofces, a dormitory, the McDou

    Graduate Student Center, and several departmental ofces and classrooms.

    Science facilities are located on central campus, at thenearby Medical School, and on West Campus.R IG H T TheAnlyan Center is the School of Medicines state-of-the-artresearch and educational facility, with an anatomy labthat uses interactive computer simulations as well asmore traditional approaches.

    DOCTORAL AND MASTERS DEGREES

    Students may enter the Graduate School after earning a

    bachelors degree or a masters degree. The majority of academic

    departments offer programs of study leading to the ph.d. de-

    gree. Many offer the Master of Arts or Science and the Master

    of Philosophy degrees, which may be earned in the course of

    doctoral studies. In some programs,

    the m.phil . is awarded to students

    who complete all requirements for the

    ph.d. except the dissertation. Some

    departments and programs admit students who seek the m.a.

    or m.s. as a nal or terminal degree.

    FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME STUDY

    Doctoral students enroll full time. Students pursuing termi-

    nal masters degrees may, with the approval of the Graduate

    School, attend part time. Because of visa regulations, interna-

    tional students are normally admitted for full-time study only.

    COMBINED PROGRAMS

    Students may apply for admission to only one department

    or program within the Graduate School, unless application

    is being made to African American Studies, Film Studies, or

    Renaissance Studies which must be combined with another

    program. Some additional academic departments and pro-

    grams permit combined programs of study (see page 22.) .

    INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY

    Most academic programs encourage students to take courses

    in related departments, and students are often advised by

    faculty members from more than one department during

    their dissertation research. Students may, with permission,

    take advantage of courses and research opportunities in Yale

    College and /or in the professional schools. Students may also

    propose individual interdisciplinary programs, which must be

    approved by the directors of graduate studies in both depart-

    ments and the appropriate associate dean(s).

    JOINT-DEGREE PROGRAMS

    The programs listed below allow for study in the Graduate

    School and one of the professional schools at Yale. Students

    may submit proposals for other joint-degree programs.

    Applicants to the m.d ./ ph.d. program apply for admission on

    a single application form to be obtained from the registrar of

    the School of Medicine.

    Applicants to the remaining programs may apply to both

    schools at the same time or apply to the second during their

    rst year of study. A separate application is required for each

    school, and each makes its own admission decision. Students

    who apply simultaneously to two schools should indicate that

    they are doing so on both applications.

    SUMMER STUDY

    Since ph.d. students are funded

    twelve months of the year, they

    are able to pursue independent

    study and research during the

    summer. All graduate dormitories

    and apartments and some dining

    facilities remain open year round.

    The Graduate School does not offer courses in the summer,

    but undergraduate courses and foreign and English language

    instruction are available. Libraries and laboratories are open,

    and there are opportunities for summer employment,

    internships, and fellowships. For information, contact

    EARNING THE DEGREE

    2welcome to yale un iversi ty

    Length of study.Students are expected to complete the require-

    ments for the m.a. and m.s. degree in one or two years, depend-

    ing on the program. Students who enroll at Yale without a

    masters degree are expected to earn the ph.d. degree in six

    years. One or two years are spent taking courses; the next is

    spent completing language requirements, preparing for quali-

    fying exams, and submitting a dissertation prospectus (see

    below ) . The remaining years are spent conducting research

    and writing the dissertation.

    Residency requirement.Doctoral students are required to be in

    residence in New Haven for at least three years.

    Comprehensive examinations.Doctoral candidates are required to

    pass comprehensive qualifying examinations administered by

    their department, generally after completion of course work

    and before beginning dissertation research.

    Dissertation prospectus.Before the end of the third year, doctoral

    students submit a proposal summarizing the nature and scopeof their dissertation, for approval by the department.

    Training in teaching.Learning to teach is a fundamental part of

    graduate education. Students develop teaching skills, under

    faculty guidance, by serving as teaching fellows for under-

    graduate sections, labs, and classes. Additional training is

    provided by the McDougal Graduate Teaching Center (gtc ).

    Teaching requirements vary

    by department or program,

    but are normally for two to

    four semesters during years

    two through four.

    Dissertation. The doctoral

    dissertation is the culmi-

    nation of the graduate

    experience. Every disser-

    tation makes an original

    contribution to a eld of study by discovering signicant new

    information, achieving a new synthesis of ideas, developingnew methods or hypotheses, or applying established methods

    to new materials. Students work with one or more advisors.

    TUITION & LIVING COSTS

    In academic year 20122013, tuition for full-time study is

    $35,500. This rate is expected to increase in subsequent years.

    ph.d. candidates are charged four years of full tuition (or less

    if degree requirements are completed more rapidly), but the

    Graduate School covers this cost. Thereafter students are

    charged a modest continuing registration fee each term until

    the dissertation is submitted or the terminal date is passed. In

    20122013 a single student will need approximately $26,720

    in addition to tuition, to meet living costs for a full year. The

    minimum stipend for that year is $27,300.

    FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

    The nature of nancial assistance varies among the divisions

    and departments. All admitted applicants to ph.d. programs

    receive nancial aid that typically includes full tuition and

    a stipend, for a minimum of four or ve years. In many

    instances, a portion of this nancial aid comes from outside

    fellowships. Stipends awarded to ph.d. students normally

    meet, and in most cases signicantly exceed, the estimated

    living costs for a single student. Applicants to masters programs

    may apply for nancial aid unless they have personal resources,

    gifts, loans, and outside fellowships sufcient to pay for

    tuition and maintenance for the duration of their

    educational program (normally one to two years).

    Yale University Fellowships.The Graduate School

    awards Yale University Fellowships ranging from

    partial tuition to full tuition plus full stipend inmost departments. University Fellowships are

    awarded at admission to entering students and

    are based primarily on merit.

    Teaching Fellowships. Teaching fellowships are

    normally combined with University and other

    fellowships to establish a four- to ve-year pattern of support.

    In cooperation with the academic departments, the Graduate

    School attempts to provide teaching opportunities sufcient

    to enhance graduate education but not so burdensome as to

    prevent completion of the ph.d. within ve or six years.

    Research Assistantships and Traineeship Trainee-

    ships (u.s. citizenship required ) and research

    assistantships are available to students in science

    and biomedical departments. These appoint-

    ments are usually combined with University

    Fellowships and teaching fellowships to provide

    six years of support. Research assistantships are

    available in other academic divisions but are not

    typically the primary source of support.

    University Dissertation Fellowships. The Graduate

    School offers University Dissertation Fellowships to all eligible

    students in the humanities and social sciences who are at an

    advanced stage of dissertation preparation, normally in the

    fth or sixth year of study. www.yale.edu/graduateschool/nanc
