Cultural and Socialization Institutions

Yale University is a private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 as the Collegiate School by Congregationalist clergy of the Connecticut Colony, it is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. It first focused on theology and sacred languages, then widened its curriculum to the humanities and sciences, awarded the first doctorate in the United States in 1861, and organized as a university in 1887.
