Yale Summer Session nurtures and inspires growth in an international community of summer scholars that promotes Yale's tradition of academic excellence. Students share ideas, interests, talents and cultures, thereby celebrating their unique contributions and learning from each other.
Offered during Yale Summer Session B, our noncredit summer certificate programs offer international students the opportunity to come to Yale's historic campus and take courses to improve their English and to develop academic and cultural skills that will help them with their academic or professional careers.
Date: Apply: The application for summer 2019 will open in January. Join our email list to hear first when courses, application deadlines, and costs are posted.
Students in the certificate programs may live in one of Yale's residential colleges with other summer students, and have a full residential program with a residential counselor, activities, and access to Yale's libraries and gym. We offer trips to New York City to see Broadway plays, a baseball game, or take in the sites. There are trips to local attractions such as amusement parks, beaches, and shopping outlets. There are also on-campus activities, such as Yale faculty lectures, sports, game nights, and much more! Visit the Student Life page for more information on what it's like to live at Yale in the summer!
