US: Yale plans college in Singapore

19.09.2010

Yale University announced last week that it was planning to create a liberal arts college in Singapore that would be financed entirely by the government there and could, in time, establish a new model for higher education in Asia, reports Lisa W Foderaro for The New York Times.

While Yale has many international programmes, it has not put its name on an overseas project the way it envisions doing at the National University of Singapore.

The new institution, to be called Yale-NUS College, would seek to import Yale's signature residential college concept - in which students live, study and take classes in an intimate setting - as well as a curriculum that encourages critical thinking and inquiry in the humanities and sciences.
