SINGAPORE: Two programmes at the National University of Singapore – Yale-NUS College and the University Scholars Programme – will be combined into a single new college from 2022.
The programme will also retain a feature of the USP, where students can access the full range of majors, second majors, minors and specialisations offered across NUS. Students who matriculated into Yale-NUS in the academic year of 2021 will form the last batch of students from the college, graduating in 2025.
“Students will experience the model of immersive and interdisciplinary learning characterised by flexible curriculum, residential living and small group teaching.”Yale-NUS was established in 2011 as a collaboration between Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and NUS, launched as Singapore’s first liberal arts college.
“Yale takes great pride in the accomplishments of Yale-NUS College — a pioneering partnership between two leading universities to create a residentially based liberal arts college,” said Yale president Professor Peter Salovey.
