This is Yale History Yale University, founded in 1701, is the third-oldest college in the United States and one of the foremost research universities in the world. First known as the Collegiate School, it changed its name in 1718 to honor benefactor Elihu Yale. Students Since its fi rst class, which had only one pupil, Yale has expanded into a university with 5,200 undergraduates and 11 graduate and professional schools with roughly 5,800 students. Women were admitted to graduate schools in 1892 and to the undergraduate college in 1969. Today they make up about 50 percent of the enrollment. Students come from all 50 states and over 70 countries. Faculty The Yale faculty includes more than 3,100 scholars, many of whom are internationally respected authorities in their fi elds. Fourteen Nobel Prize winners have been associated with Yale. Classes There are approximately 2,000 courses and 75 majors or programs of study, including 35 different languages. Admissions In selecting a class of 1,300 from approximately 19,500 applicants, the Admissions Committee looks for strong academic ability and achievement combined with personal characteristics such as motivation, curiosity, energy, and leadership ability. Academic strength is indicated by grades, rigor of curriculum, standardized test scores, and evaluations by two teachers and a college counselor. Yale requires results of the College Board Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT or SAT 1) and any three SAT II: Subject Tests or the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment. In addition, students whose native language is not English must submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Athletics With 35 varsity sports teams and a large intramural program, sports have a prominent place at Yale. The University offers more than 500 acres of playing fi elds and nine-story Payne Whitney Gym, one of the largest athletic structures in the world. No university takes greater pride in its athletic heritage. No fewer than 157 athletes have competed in the Olympics. Together they have brought home 102 medals - more than most nations - including 54 gold, 21 silver and 27 bronze. Financial Aid It is Yale’s policy to admit all students on the basis of academic and personal promise without regard to their fi nancial circumstances. In addition, the University is committed to meeting the full need of all admitted students by providing them with appropriate fi nancial aid awards. This “need-blind” admissions policy applies to all applicants including international citizens. Currently, approximately 45 percent of all Yale students receive financial assistance through loans, scholarships and work-study employment.

All freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus. Each residential college has its own dining hall, as well as library, computers, TV and game rooms, and often theaters, weight rooms, and music practice rooms. The residential colleges sponsor numerous academic and extracurricular programs, including musical performances, dramatic productions, intramural sports teams, visiting fellowships and academic seminars. A resident master and dean take care of the academic and administrative needs of each college, and faculty “fellows” participate in the community by acting as student advisors and eating in the college’s dining hall.
