Yale University

Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut, founded in 1701 as the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. The university is organized into fourteen schools including the undergraduate Yale College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and professional schools such as Yale Law School, Yale School of Medicine, and Yale School of Management. It serves roughly 14,500 students from across the United States and more than 120 countries. The campus houses distinguished cultural assets such as the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Peabody Museum of Natural History. Yale alumni and faculty include five US presidents, numerous foreign heads of state, and dozens of Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners. Research spans the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering, with a long-standing emphasis on undergraduate education organized through a residential college system modeled on Oxford and Cambridge.
