Score reports should be directed to Yale University (Code 3987). No department or program codes are necessary. If you are required to enter a Department or Program code you should use "0000" (Undecided) for the GRE or "99" (Undecided) for the TOEFL. If you have used a Department/Program code other that "0000" or "99" in addition to Institutional code of 3987, you do not have to request another score report to be sent.

Doctoral education involves a close pairing between the student and a faculty advisor. Applicants must identify and contact one or two faculty members who would serve as their major advisors if accepted to the program. Applications which do not provide this contact data in the "OTHER INFORMATION" field of the Yale form will be returned . Faculty profiles can be found on this page.
