Requirements for the B.A. or B.S. Degree

To qualify for the bachelor's degree, B.A. or B.S., a student must successfully complete thirty-six term courses or their equivalent in Yale College. In doing so, the student must fulfill the distributional requirements of Yale College and the requirements of a major program. A student may normally complete no more than eight terms of enrollment in order to fulfill these requirements. Students enrolled in the Eli Whitney Students program should consult "Eli Whitney Students Program" in this chapter.

Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree, at Yale or at another institution, are not eligible for degree enrollment in Yale College, except in the Eli Whitney Students program.
