Yale University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers the Master of Arts (MA) degree both as a terminal qualification in select departments and as an en route milestone for PhD candidates. The MA is available in various humanities and social science fields, with department-specific requirements. Terminal MA programs typically equip students with advanced knowledge and research skills relevant to their disciplines, while the en route MA recognizes progress toward the doctorate. Admission is highly selective and generally requires an academic background relevant to the intended field of study. Financial aid is limited for terminal MA programs but standard for PhD students obtaining the MA en route. All admissions are for fall entry; students are immersed in rigorous coursework, research, and scholarly community. 来源： https://gsas.yale.edu/homepage
