Yale College offers undergraduate students a growing array of courses that address regional or global issues. The Yale College Center for International Experience ensures that every undergraduate has the opportunity and financial support to work, study, or conduct research abroad. |
Study AbroadYale College students may study abroad during the academic year through the Peking University-Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program, the Yale in London Program, and through other programs, such as a program on development and social change in Cameroon (shown above). The program at Peking University allows Yale College students and an equal number of honor students from Peking University’s Yuanpei Honors College to live and study together in Beijing. |
Summer CoursesStudents can attend Yale summer courses in locations around the world. Recent offerings have included “Arts and Public Health in Action: Study of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland and South Africa,” “South East Asia in Context,” which includes field trips to historic temples, and “Introduction to Observational Astrophysics,” which is taught in Chile using the Cerro Tololo Observatory. |
Bulldogs InternshipsWork internships are a key component of the Yale College overseas experience. The Bulldogs International Internship Program offers opportunities organized with alumni help in sixteen countries. Students work for eight to ten weeks during the summer in government offces, businesses, NGOs (pictured here), and cultural institutions. Students also participate in a set of extracurricular activities such as Yale Club receptions, special tours, and lectures. |
Research and Independent ProjectsApproximately 300 students pursue field and laboratory research and independent projects abroad each year. For these projects, students prepare detailed proposals that are evaluated by the faculty review committees that make funding decisions. Funding opportunities are listed in the Student Grants Database. |

Language StudyEvery undergraduate at Yale is required to study a foreign language during his or her career at Yale regardless of his or her level of proficiency upon admission. The Center for Language Study is the locus of coordination and resources for the fifty different languages (some of which are listed here) that are taught regularly at Yale. Since the inception of the Directed Independent Language Study program in 2001, the Center, in partnership with the MacMillan Center, has also offered non-credit study in an additional forty-five less-frequently studied languages such as Dinka, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, and Uighur. |
