Missing Syllabi?

This is not an exhaustive repository of all syllabi taught at Yale, but rather a large collection of syllabi collected from Yale’s Learning Management Systems (LMS) over the past 25 years. Schools / departments have used Yale’s provided LMS in varying degrees over the years to support their teaching. If you are looking for a specific syllabus and do not find it in Syllabus @ Yale, we encourage you to reach out the course’s instructor or department registrar.

How is Syllabus @ Yale Organized?

Syllabus @ Yale is comprised of two repositories:

  • Syllabus Repository which contains syllabi that are visible and available for the Yale community to find
  • Syllabus Repository - Hidden which contains syllabi that the faculty member or school has requested not be visible to the broader community 

Inside each repository, syllabi are organized by school code. And inside each school, there are 3 document types:

  • Syllabus Artifact - a Canvas page that was labeled and used as the syllabus
  • Syllabus File - the syllabus file of the course
  • Syllabus Tool - the Canvas Syllabus tool page, if used
