Apply

Thank you for your interest in the Yale IDE Program!

The IDE admission cycle begins August 15 when the application for the upcoming fall intake becomes available. Applicants should begin applying to external funding sources at this time. Between August 15 and the January 2 deadline, applicants should attend an informational webinar and ask any questions they may have, complete and compile the mandatory application materials, and proactively contact their recommendation writers to give them sufficient time to write their letters of recommendation.

• January 2, 2025: MA-IDE application deadline.
• March 15-31, 2025: Admission decisions distributed via the application system.
• April 15, 2025: Enrollment confirmations are due.

Before applying, we encourage you to get to know our program by reading about our students, course offerings, career opportunities, and alumni. 

We’d love to share more information and answer any questions you may have through our periodic webinars: sign up here. 

Once you are ready to apply, go to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) Admissions website.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have, and you can contact us at ide@yale.edu.

All questions specific to the admissions process should be directed to GSAS Admissions at graduate.admissions@yale.edu.
