General Requirements:
All applicants must submit the results of their Graduate Record Examinations
(GRE). For information regarding GRE registration and test administration,
please visit the Educational Testing Service (ETS) website. The institution code for the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences is 3987.
The TOEFL is required of all applicants whose native language is not English. This requirement is waived only for applicants who will have received a baccalaureate degree, or its foreign equivalent, prior to matriculation at Yale, from a college or university where English is the primary language of instruction. If you do not qualify for a waiver but have taken the TOEFL within the last two years you will need to have your TOEFL scores released to us (code 3987). If your scores can no longer be released, you will need to take the test. The test should be taken as early as possible to ensure that your scores are received in time to be incorporated in your file. Normally TOEFL scores will not be released if they are older then two years. If you took the TOEFL before and ETS will release those scores then you should not have to retake the examination. The institution code for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is 3987. In place of the TOEFL, the International English Language Test System (IELTS) also fulfills the test requirement for applicants whose native language is not English.
Degree Requirements:
Biostatistics Track
The candidate should have an undergraduate degree with major emphasis
in a quantitative science. Mathematics majors are typical applicants to
the program, although applicants with training in a variety of areas are
encouraged to apply. At a minimum, all applicants should have completed

matriculation:
Degree Requirements:
Chronic Disease Epidemiology Track
The candidate should have a basic understanding of quantitative science and statistics. Typically, we expect candidates with strong science backgrounds to apply who have demonstrated competency in statistical analysis and logical thinking. Applicants from rigorous programs in the biological or social sciences will be given preference. Persons already holding science Ph.D.s, candidates from the pharmaceutical industry or medical practitioners are also likely degree applicants. At a minimum, applicants should have taken one year of coursework in statistics or equivalent prior to enrolling in the Chronic Disease Epidemiology program track.
