The Yale Difference
The Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) treats Engineering as a curriculum in leadership for the 21st century, understanding that professional engineering is only one of many options for a SEAS graduate. The skills of engineering - quantitative reasoning, teamwork, and the habit of breaking complex problems into manageable pieces - are as valuable to those pursuing engineering as a career as they are to those who move toward careers in medicine, law, business and other fields. All SEAS students benefit from the intimacy in education and large breadth in research the school offers. Students learn from some of the top engineers and scientists in the world while participating in discovery at the cutting edge. Whether it's nanoscience, targeted drug delivery, or sustainability issues, our researchers are engaged in the most innovative research of our time, making transformative breakthroughs that tackle some of today’s greatest societal needs.
“Yale Engineering gives students access to the leaders in their field and all but guarantees that we are the future leaders in our field.”
“The Engineering departments strongly encourage publishing your results and provide you with enough opportunities and resources to reach your goals.”
“Knowledge, Passion, Exploration, Service, Leadership, Fun… the choice was easy for me to decide to come to Yale.”
“Yale provided me both with a thorough understanding of technical principles and with the skills to apply that understanding to real-world problems.”
