YYGS Connect

Participants will take part in a virtual program that is designed to be as rigorous and intellectually rewarding as our on-campus experience. During YYGS Connect, students will average 20 hours a week (with weekends off) and participate in Yale faculty lectures, small-scale seminars, simulations and more. All students who have successfully completed the program will receive an electronic completion certificate.

All participants must have a computer, web camera, and working WiFi. Students CANNOT attend the program using a mobile phone. Participants will be required to access Zoom, and you can check if this program will work on your computer here: Zoom Software Capability Link. Students will also be required to access Canvas, which requires a working email address.

We have created “Yale morning (AM)” and “Yale evening (PM)” tracks that work for most time zones. Students will have the opportunity to give preference for which track works best for them. 

YYGS Connect has a strict attendance policy, and students must attend ALL program components to earn their completion certificate. If you have a time zone constraint during the program, you must request an excused absence from YYGS. If approved, we will provide a recording for you that you must watch within 24 hours. Please know that some program elements require mandatory attendance and students will not be excused from these requirements.

The total cost for a two-week session of YYGS Connect 2021 is $3500 USD.

We award financial aid (in partial or full tuition discounts) to students with demonstrated need. To be considered for financial aid, students must complete the financial aid section of the YYGS admissions application. 

Note: YYGS tuition payments are non-refundable except in extreme circumstances, such as family medical emergency where documentation (e.g. a doctor’s note from a non-family member) is provided to YYGS.
