YALE UNIVERSITY

In New Haven, Connecticut, Yale University is a private Ivy League research institution. It is the third-oldest higher education school in the United States and one of the most prominent in the entire world, having been established in 1701 as the Collegiate School. The Collegiate School was founded in 1701 by clergy to train Congregational preachers and was chartered by Connecticut Colony before relocating to New Haven in 1716. By the time of the American Revolution, the curriculum had expanded to include the humanities and sciences in addition to its original focus on theology and sacred languages. The college grew into graduate and professional education in the 19th century, conferring the first PhD in the United States in 1861, and becoming a university in 1887. After 1890, Yale's staff and student bodies expanded quickly as a result of scientific research and campus construction. The original undergraduate college, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and twelve professional schools make up Yale's fourteen constituent institutions. The Yale Corporation oversees the institution, although the faculty at each school is in charge of deciding on the curriculum and degree options. The institution possesses athletic facilities in western New Haven, a campus in West Haven, woodlands and nature reserves all throughout New England, in addition to a main campus in downtown New Haven. The university had the second-largest endowment of any academic institution as of 2021, valued at $42.3 billion. The third-largest academic library in the United States, the Yale University Library serves all constituent institutions and has more than 15 million books. In NCAA Division I of the Ivy League, students play in intercollegiate sports as the Yale Bulldogs. By the end of October 2020, Yale University had ties to 65 Nobel laureates, five Fields Medalists, four Abel Prize winners, and three Turing Award winners. In addition, Yale has produced a number of noteworthy graduates, including four of the nation's founding fathers, five presidents, 19 justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, 31 billionaires still alive, and numerous heads of state. The university has hosted 78 MacArthur Fellows, 252 Rhodes Scholars, 123 Marshall Scholars, 102 Guggenheim Fellows, and nine Mitchell Scholars, in addition to hundreds of members of Congress and several American diplomats. The Big Three includes Yale. 187 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 55 members of the National Academy of Medicine, 8 members of the National Academy of Engineering, and 67 members of the National Academy of Sciences make up Yale's present faculty. The college is the leading source of baccalaureate recipients of doctoral degrees in the Ivy League and the tenth-largest source overall in the United States after normalising for institution size. It is also a top 10 (ranked seventh), baccalaureate source of some of the most well-known scientists following normalisation for the number of graduates (Nobel, Fields, Turing prizes, or membership in National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medicine, or National Academy of Engineering).
