Application Process

The BBS Program uses the Yale Graduate School's online application, and a link to the application will be available on this page in late August. Our application deadline is December 1, 2022 for admission in the fall of 2023. We do not offer spring semester enrollment.

Please visit https://medicine.yale.edu/bbs/apply/faq/ and https://gsas.yale.edu/admissions/phdmasters-application-process/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. https://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.

3. To review previous admissions data for the BBS Program, please visit our Graduate School's Program Statistics page.

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. 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.
