Faculty with appointments in multiple Yale schools are counted only once in this table and are included in the school where they hold their primary appointment. As a result, the numbers listed for any one school may not fully represent the entire body of faculty who teach and work with students in that school.

In the Schools of Music and Drama, adjunct professors provide the core of the schools’ regular faculty. As a result, the distinction among the categories of tenured/term/non-ladder is less relevant in those schools.

In 2018 the additional category of Ladder/Continuing was added to the table. This category counts Law, Medicine, and Nursing ladder faculty who are not on the tenure track.

Faculty appointed to Yale College are counted within the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. Faculty in the School of Public Health are counted within the School of Medicine. Ladder faculty in the Jackson School of Global Affairs are counted in the schools in which they are jointly appointed. Prior to 2022, faculty in the School of Engineering and Applied Science were counted within the Faculty of Arts & Sciences.

Faculty who are paid by Yale (including visiting faculty) or are Howard Hughes Medical Investigators are included. Faculty who are on leave without salary are excluded.
