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. Between August 15 and the January 2 deadline, applicants should engage with our admissions team, 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: MPP application deadline.
• March 15, 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, get to know you, and answer any questions you may have through our periodic webinars. Sign up here. 

Once you are ready to apply, we run our application process through 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: ide2@yale.edu
