The current schedule of FES admissions events is listed in our calendar.

The best way to get to know FES is to come to New Haven to visit, if possible before submitting an application. Three open houses for prospective students are held during the fall term (in October, November, and December); a fourth is held in April for admitted students. The open houses offer full-day programs, including breakfast and lunch. Participants meet faculty, students, and staff to learn about the mission and goals of the School, degree requirements and course work, opportunities for research and applied projects, career development, and life at Yale.

Information sessions are held on Thursday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. during the months of September through January when school is in session. Prospective students meet with members of the Admissions staff and current students. F&ES faculty and staff also conduct outreach events around the United States and abroad.

We encourage prospective students to visit campus at other times if they are unable to attend an open house or information session. Please note that no visits will be scheduled during March because of the Admissions decision-making process. It is best to visit campus on a Monday through Thursday if possible. Few classes are held on Fridays, which are generally reserved for field trips and research. Visitors are welcome to sit in on classes of interest with no advance notice; the class schedule each term is posted on the Academics page of the F&ES Web site. Feel free to contact directly any faculty member whose work is of interest to you; e-mail is best. We do not conduct formal interviews. Email fesinfo@yale.edu or 203-432-5106 (tollfree in the US 800-825-0330) to schedule a visit.
