Credits for Participation
While we do not offer Yale credit (to keep the price low), we do work with students’ sponsoring institutions so that students can receive credit from them. This is dependent upon the students’ university, but we do find that the vast majority of universities do provide this credit. Undergraduate and graduate students typically receive credits for one full course when they attend our full in-person program. Upon request, we provide a Program Summary at the end of the program that defines the exact number of contact hours earned, along with a list of all seminars attended and an overall evaluation.
Housing Options
During the in-person version of the program, some students choose to live in Yale dorms, and some choose to sublet from Yale graduate students who are away for the summer months. Professionals who attend the program tend to find their housing via airBnb or Sabbatical Homes. Sublets are approximately $650-$2,000/month and Yale dorm rooms are approximately $85/night. Yale dorms do not have access to kitchens or other amenities.
