Why Choose Yale Summer Session?

Our application is now open. 

Note: In 2021, all courses and programs will be offered online. Visiting students may take online courses, but they may not live on campus.

Curiosity has no bounds, and neither does Yale Summer Session.  

We offer 200 courses to students who have already graduated from college. Most are small seminars with top Yale faculty. We’re also home to the Yale Writers’ Workshop. 

Available Programs

Tip: Students who have been out of college for five or more years may submit a resume or CV in place of an academic transcript

Application Information

Quote: One of the best things I ever did for myself was to attend the Yale Writers' Workshop. I went to Yale with a fair amount of skepticism about how much help I could expect and anxiety about people being condescending. To my delight, I left the conference inspired, exhausted and bursting with ideas and new friends. I have been writing diligently ever since. The best part of all is the community of writers that I have become a part of. The support of this special community has extended beyond the gates of Yale, long after the workshops have ended. I recommend this conference to anyone with a passion for writing.
