Admission to the Global Affairs major takes place during the sophomore year.
Application Form & Deadline
Applications are typically due in late November. Please check back for the Fall 2021 deadline.
Information Sessions
Each fall, the Jackson School hosts information sessions for Yale sophomores who are considering the Global Affairs major.
Please visit our events page for details and registration. If you miss the Zoom information session and would like to view a recording, please write to Lily Sutton.
Advice to Applicants
Current underclassmen should review the requirements of the major and the FAQs. It is strongly recommended that, at the time of application, applicants have made progress towards the required economics sequence and to have taken (or currently be enrolled in) GLBL 121 or acceptable substitute.
Advising Sessions
Current and prospective majors can schedule appointments with the assistant dean for undergraduate education, Professor Sigrídur Benediktsdottir, or Lily Sutton, assistant dean for student affairs. Please note that such meetings do not influence admissions decisions.
In addition, prospective majors are invited to attend an information session held each fall and announced in collaboration with residential college deans and the Sophomore Class Council. Prospective students may want to sign up for the Jackson School mailing list.
