Journalism Initiative Normally, students join the Yale Journalism Initiative in their sophomore or junior years, although exceptions may be made. Preference is given to Yale College students; however, students from the graduate and professional schools are also eligible. The selection process begins with enrollment in the advanced journalism seminar, either in the fall or spring; students may find the application for this seminar on the Creative Writing home page. Acceptance into the seminar means preliminary acceptance as a Yale Journalism Scholar. Upon successful completion of the seminar, students must complete three further requirements to earn designation as Yale Journalism Scholars. Writing Concentration Application required in second term of junior year or first term of senior year. |
Theater Studies |
An audition is required for admission to THST 210, “Introduction to Performance Concepts.” THST 210 is a core requirement of the Theater Studies major, and the audition process allows the department to determine the appropriate number of sections to offer in a given year. Any student who auditions for THST 210 and has completed the course’s prerequisites (THST 110, 111) will gain admission. |
