Yale aims to enroll 3 new students in the graduate program in
astronomy per year; in the past 10 years, 8 women and 20 men have
matriculated. Since 1999 we have two additional places reserved in
each class for students in the Yale/Chile Joint PhD Program. Of the 28
students who have enrolled since 1990, 21 have either received the PhD
or are still in the program, 3 transferred to other PhD programs in
astronomy, and 5 dropped out of astronomy prior to receiving the
PhD. Average length of completion for the PhD has been just under 6
years, almost one year below the national average.
Students are supported by the University for the first two years, and
by Research Assistantships and Teaching Assistantships
thereafter. Funding is guaranteed for students in good standing for 6
years. Entering students can expect to teach for a total of no more
than 4 semesters during their graduate careers.
Below we list Yale PhDs in Astronomy, or in Physics with primary
academic advisor from the Astronomy Department, going back to
1990. The thesis title and current job are listed.
