Special Programme with the Yale School of the Environment provides opportunity for Yale-NUS students to further their interests in environmental studies

In the past semester, some Yale-NUS College students participated in a virtual ‘semester abroad’ programme with Yale University via the Special programme with the Yale School of the Environment (YSE), designed to enhance learning for students keen on pursuing a career in the environmental field. By integrating the undergraduate curriculum with graduate requirements, the Special Programmes accelerates the Master’s degree programme: after four years of undergraduate studies in Yale-NUS, students then engage in a couple years of work experience, before doing their final academic graduate year of study at YSE after which they will be awarded a Master of Environmental Science (MESc) or Master of Environmental Management (MEM) degree.
