What are the foreign language requirements?

By graduation, all MPP students must achieve Level 4 proficiency in a modern language (other than English). To fulfill this requirement, students may show a third-year language course on their undergraduate transcript, complete through a second-year language course at Yale, take a language proficiency exam at Yale, or complete the accelerated language course at Middlebury College in the summer prior to matriculation. Yale Jackson has established a streamlined application process with the Middlebury College Language Schools, and will fully fund the course, including tuition, room, and board upon approval from the Assistant Dean for Graduate Education.

Based on the sequential nature of language courses, the maximum number of language credits any MPP student can achieve is 4 credits, and for joint degree students the maximum is 2 credits.

 There is no foreign language requirement for MAS students.
