The Yale School of Art participates in the Yale Summer Session by offering five-week courses in drawing, graphic design, photography, sculpture, printing, and interactive design. Yale Summer Session offers undergraduate courses for Yale College credit. Classes meet two or three days a week on campus or online; additional studio time may also be available. Admission is open to Yale students as well as to undergraduates currently enrolled at other institutions, college graduates, and to qualified high school or precollege students who will have completed their junior year of high school before summer classes begin.

Additional information on courses, residency, tuition and financial assistance, important dates and deadlines, and the application may be found on the Yale Summer Session website at http://summer.yale.edu. Inquiries may be made by telephone at 203.432.2430 or by email to summer.session@yale.edu. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and students can expect an admissions decision within two to three weeks of submitting the application. Class size for each art course is limited depending upon the nature of the course. There is an application fee of $75.
