  The Yale College catalog defines requirements in humanities and arts, sciences, social sciences, quantitative reasoning, writing and language.

  Model elements: distribution-style course choice across fields of knowledge.

• Special Academic Arrangements https://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/special-academic-arrangements/

  The academic regulations explicitly govern overlap among a major, two majors, certificates and a simultaneous degree.

  Formal model element: two primary majors are a permitted undergraduate configuration.

• Course Credits and Course Loads https://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/course-credits-course-loads/

  The regulations state that a Yale College student normally takes four or five term courses in each of eight terms.

• Yale Common Data Set 2025-26 https://oir.yale.edu/sites/default/files/yale_cds_2025-26_md_20260616.pdf

  Yale's official Common Data Set 2025-26 reports data as of the institution's official fall reporting date or October 15, 2025. In section B1, total all undergraduates is 6,667.

  The same section reports 6,636 degree-seeking undergraduate students; the remaining 31 are other undergraduates enrolled in credit courses. The specialist degree level does not apply to the US model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
