Eli Whitney Students Program
|
Yale welcomes applications from non-traditional students who would bring exceptional backgrounds and aspirations to Yale. Eli Whitney students are generally older than other undergraduates because their college plans have been delayed or interrupted. They take classes with other undergraduates and may earn either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Eli Whitney students may choose to attend Yale on either a full or part-time basis, and they have full access to Yale’s generous, need-based financial aid. Though on-campus housing is not offered, they have full access to all other Yale College facilities and programs. Students in the Eli Whitney program cannot be easily typed; they come to Yale with an extraordinary diversity of life experiences and intellectual interests. This program is named after the distinguished inventor and the son of a New England farmer, Eli Whitney, who came to Yale College in 1789 at the age of 23. The Eli Whitney Students Program, though a distinct program in Yale College, was conceived with the same mission as that for Yale College as a whole: the education of leaders who will make contributions to society and to the world.
