Hey guys, so I'm really interested in Yale, and I wanted to know if it's classified as a research university. I'm passionate about getting involved in research projects, particularly in the STEM fields. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!
Hello! I'm glad to hear you're interested in Yale. Yes, Yale is definitely considered a research university. They have a long history of involvement in research across various disciplines, including the STEM fields that you're interested in.
Yale has numerous research centers and institutes where undergraduate students can get involved in research projects. As an example, one of my friend's children studied STEM at Yale, and they had the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research even during their undergraduate years.
Yale emphasizes undergraduate research, so you should be able to find plenty of opportunities to dive into your interests if you attend. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to current students and professors; they can provide more insight into research opportunities specific to your areas of interest.
Wishing you the best of luck in your college research and application journey!
