Year or Term Abroad
In recognition of the special value of formal study abroad, Yale College allows sophomores in their second term and juniors to earn a full term or year of credit toward the bachelor's degree through the Year or Term Abroad program. Participation in the Year or Term Abroad program provides students the opportunity to approach academic study through a different cultural perspective and, most significantly, to speak, write, and learn in a foreign language. Students apply to the Yale College Committee on the Year or Term Abroad for approval of a program of study abroad. Application procedures and regulations pertaining to the Year or Term Abroad program are listed under "Special Arrangements" in chapter III. Additional information is available from the Office of International Education and Fellowship Programs, 55 Whitney Avenue, third floor, or on the IEFP Web site.
