Departments and Programs

This section provides information on all departments and programs of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Each listing provides a roster of faculty, special admissions and degree requirements for that department or program, and the courses offered in 2003–2004. The requirements appearing in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Programs and Policies take precedence over any statements published separately by individual departments and programs.

The degree requirements of the Graduate School itself appear later in this publication. These apply to all students in the Graduate School, although there are variations in the pattern of their fulfillment in individual departments and programs. The requirements of the Graduate School may change from time to time. If a requirement changes within the period normally required for completion of a student's course of study, the student will normally be given the choice of completing either the new or the old requirement.

The requirements of individual departments also may change from time to time, with the approval of the Graduate School. After such approval has officially been given, students in that department or program will receive written notification. All changes in departmental degree requirements occurring after the publication closing date of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Programs and Policies are posted in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Registrar’s Office, 246 Church Street, third floor.
The course listings and instructors that follow reflect information received by the registrar as of the publication date and are subject to change without notice. Students are advised to consult the Graduate School’s publication 2003 Fall Term Course Offerings, or www.yale.edu/courseinfo/ for the most recent information.
Fall-term courses are indicated by the letter “a,” spring-term courses by the letter “b.” Yearlong courses have no letter designation or list both “a” and “b.” Course numbers followed by a letter “u” are also open to undergraduates in Yale College. Courses in brackets are not offered during the current academic year. Course information is also available at www.yale.edu/courseinfo/.
