Why Yale Engineering
Yale University is a remarkably exciting and dynamic community with a vast array of programs and facilities spanning all fields. It combines the breadth and diversity of a major research university with the dedication to teaching and attention to individual students of a small liberal arts college.
Our undergraduates enjoy residential college community life and many other exciting and enriching pursuits outside the classroom. Indeed, Yale students have opportunities for growth and learning in virtually every dimension that are unmatched at any other university.
Engineering and the sciences are an integral part of Yale's modern liberal education, which must be grounded in understanding of the vitally important technological issues of our day.
About Our Degree Programs
We offer degrees in Applied Physics and in Biomedical, Chemical, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering. Each major has several tracks.
Our undergraduates also pursue majors in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics. Some combine Engineering with another discipline for a double major, such as Engineering and Economics, Engineering and Music, or Engineering and Psychology.
Our faculty-to-student ratio is one of the country's best. Because our classes are small and world-class faculty provide ample attention to each student, our undergraduates develop exceptional analytical, collaborative, and communications skills. Those qualities make for leadership positions after graduation.
About Our Facilities and Graduates
In 2005, we dedicated a new engineering building, the Daniel L. Malone Center Engineering Center, home for our new Biomedical Engineering Department. Yale’s 307 years of educational excellence in the arts and humanities is complemented by a long and distinguished history of science and engineering education—the first Ph.D. in engineering in the U.S. was awarded at Yale in 1863 to J. Willard Gibbs who became America’s most renowned scientist.
In 2002, we celebrated 150 years of Engineering at Yale. For more than 150 years our graduates have become leaders in an astounding variety of fields spanning academia, industry and government. Three times within the past few years, our faculty publications were ranked #1 nationally by the ISI Citation Index for impact of published research in the top engineering journals. In 2005 Yale Engineering also ranked first in the percentage of bachelors’ degrees awarded to women.
I can assure you that there is no better community than Yale in which to learn and to grow and to develop your potential as a scientist, engineer, citizen, and human being.
