Yale University announced that it will expand its undergraduate class size to add 100 new students, ultimately raising the number of students in each class to 1,650. The expansion will begin with the incoming class starting this fall.
The decision is part of Yale’s efforts to accommodate growing demand for higher education, while remaining committed to a high-quality academic experience. The university stated that this expansion will not compromise its academic standards and will ensure a continued focus on personalized learning and small class sizes.
Yale officials pointed to the increase in enrollment as part of the university’s larger mission: to make higher education more accessible and to attract a diverse range of students from diverse backgrounds. Thus, a lot of excitement is observed in the Yale community, where such an opportunity of coming into one of the most prestigious academic institutions with a more dynamically enhanced student body opens up for prospect students.
