The English Language Institute at Yale Summer Session
Offered during Yale Summer Session B, the English Language Institute’s (ELI) non-credit summer programs give international students or professionals a unique opportunity to experience Yale’s historic campus, strengthen their English skills, and build competencies that can enhance their academic or professional careers.
ELI students live in Yale’s residential colleges alongside other summer students, enjoying a vibrant residential program complete with a residential counselor, organized activities, and access to Yale’s libraries and gym. Our program includes excursions to New York City to enjoy Broadway shows, baseball games, and iconic sights, as well as trips to local attractions like amusement parks, beaches, and shopping outlets. Students can also participate in on-campus events, including faculty lectures, sports, game nights, and much more.
Students who successfully complete the ELI program will receive a Certificate of Participation.
The 2025 application will open in mid-January 2025.
[point] Proof of English proficiency is not required for the ELI programs. Students in the Law and Business Seminars are expected to have strong English language skills.
