Online Courses at Yale

Through our Yale Summer Session Online Course Program, Yale College courses are offered online to students who cannot travel to New Haven for our residential program. These challenging courses are taught by Yale faculty, offer Yale College credit, and provide extensive interaction with faculty and fellow students. A central component of our courses is the synchronous discussion sessions, our virtual classroom technology complete with audio and video allows the class to come together for live discussion. If you cannot be on campus this summer, our online courses provide you with an opportunity to earn Yale College credit wherever you may be.

Audit (non-credit) option now available for select online courses! See Important Information
