Application Process

The BBS Program uses the Yale Graduate School's online application, which you may access at https://gsas.yale.edu/admissions/degree-program-application-process. Our application deadline is December 1, 2019, and students will be admitted for the fall semester of 2020. We do not offer spring term admissions.

Please visit http://bbs.yale.edu/apply/faq.aspx and http://gsas.yale.edu/admissions/admissions-faqs for answers to commonly asked questions.  For unanswered questions, please email:

1. bbs@yale.edu  for general questions about applying to BBS.

2. http://gsas.yale.edu/admissions/contact for specific questions about the online application itself. Please make sure to place an "#" at the beginning of the subject field of your message to signal that you have a question related to the online application.

The non-refundable application fee is $105. Credit card (Visa or MasterCard) payment from within the online application is the only method of payment accepted. Fee waivers may be granted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents only. Please consult the online application to learn about the requirements for requesting a waiver and to access the waiver form. Note that applications cannot be reviewed without the required fee or an approved waiver.

If you reside in the U.S. or Canada and wish to request a copy of our new brochure, please submit your name and address to bbs@yale.edu. Our annual mailings  begin in September and end in November. 

Please note that we are unable to mail brochures overseas.
