Notes:
(a) This information was taken from data provided by admissions officers in each of the Schools.
International students are all non-U.S.citizens/Permanent Residents. With the exception of Yale College,
Canadian students are counted as international students in this table. The number of "matriculants"
may differ from "enrollments" (reported in other tables) because of the time in which the numbers were
gathered (i.e., matriculants were counted by the Admissions Office in early September and enrollments
were reported by the Registrars in late fall.) The international student counts may differ from counts in
other tables due to the time when they were taken, and due to differences in the sources of the
numbers.
(b) Includes Dr.P.H. for 1981-82, 1991-92, and 1996-97. In the fall of 1999, the Dr. P.H. program was not
offered to new students.
(c) Due to staff changes in the School, these statistics were not available for 1999-00.
