International Students

Approximately one-third of full-time graduate students at Yale come from outside the United States. In addition, many international students come to the Graduate School as non-degree students in the Division of Special Registration. The Graduate School recognizes that international students and their families may face unique challenges as they adjust not only to life as graduate students, but also to life in a new country.

As part of its commitment to serving the global community, the University has established a variety of resources for international students, including the “Yale and the World” web site.
