Applicants who wish to study at both YDS and ISM <strong>MUST</strong> complete and submit separate applications to each. The ISM application can be found online at <a href="https://ism.yale.edu/graduate-study/admission-graduate-study">https://ism.yale.edu/graduate-study/admission-graduate-study</a></p> <p>YDS students who participate in the Andover Newton Seminary at YDS, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, or Institute of Sacred Music programs all receive their degrees from Yale Divinity School. Applicants who are interested in participating in the Andover or Berkeley programs must indicate their interest in those specific programs on the YDS application.</p> <p>YDS students may also enroll in joint-degree programs with certain other Yale schools or in our approved joint-degree program in the school of social work at the University of Connecticut. In all cases, admission decisions are made independently by YDS and each of the partner schools or universities.</p> <p>YDS currently has agreements for joint-degree programs with the schools of the Environment, Law, Management, Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. Depending upon the program, students may either be required to apply to the schools simultaneously in the same year or have the option of applying sequentially in different years. Students interested in pursuing a joint degree through the school of social work at the University of Connecticut are encouraged to apply to YDS and that school at the start of the application period in the fall. More information on joint degrees is available under Interdisciplinary Study, in the chapter <a href="http://catalog.yale.edu/div/other-curricular-considerations">Other Curricular Considerations</a>.</p> <p>Persons interested in doctoral studies in religion may apply through the Office of Graduate Admissions of the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, PO Box 208323, New Haven CT 06520-8323 <a href="mailto:graduate.admissions@yale.edu">graduate.admissions@yale.edu</a> .</p> <h3>Application Instructions</h3> <p>The application and all accompanying documents including letters of recommendation and transcripts must be submitted electronically. </p> <p>Applicants to YDS must adhere to the following guidelines below for submission of materials and processing of applications.</p> <p><strong>Completed application form. </strong>The application form can be accessed online in early Fall.
