Courses at the 100 level stress the fundamental aspects of visual formulation and articulation. Courses numbered 200 through 499 offer increasingly intensive study leading to greater specialization in one or more of the visual disciplines such as graphic design, painting/printmaking, photography, and sculpture.

Information For International Students |
http://www.yale.edu/admit/international/index.html
International students (not counting U.S. citizens and permanent residents educated abroad) make up 9% of the undergraduate enrollment at Yale, and they come from 70 different countries outside the United States. International enrollments have doubled under Yale's current president, Richard Levin, as the University seeks to further diversify an already multicultural college with students judged to be the most outstanding in their home countries. International students find Yale appealing because of its emphasis on undergraduate teaching; the intense involvement that characterizes student activities on campus, both academic and extracurricular; research opportunities, especially in the sciences and engineering; and the University's long tradition of instruction in the liberal arts, when university-level education in one's home country can seem prematurely professional and less personal.

Yale's residential college system, now more than seventy years old, is perhaps the most distinctive feature of the College. The residential colleges allow students to experience the cohesiveness and intimacy of a small school while still enjoying the cultural and scholarly resources of a large university, fostering spirit, allegiance, and a sense of community.
Before freshman year, all incoming undergraduates are randomly assigned to one of Yale's twelve residential colleges. Students remain affiliated with their residential college for all four years (and beyond). Yale makes every effort to represent, on the level of the college, the diversity of the entire undergraduate community. In this sense each college is a microcosm of the larger student population. The residential college system offers students a familiar, comfortable living environment, personal interaction with faculty members and administrators, and exciting opportunities for academic and extracurricular exploration.
