The university traces its roots to the 1640s, when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a local college in the tradition of European liberal education. In 1701 the Connecticut legislature adopted a charter “to erect a Collegiate School.” The school officially became Yale College in 1718, when it was renamed in honor of Welsh merchant Elihu Yale, who had donated the proceeds from the sale of nine bales of goods together with 417 books and a portrait of King George.
Handsome Dan became the Yale mascot in 1889 when student Andrew B. Graves saw the dog sitting in front of a shop and purchased him from a New Haven blacksmith for $5.

Yale University is a large research university with a wide array of programs, departments, schools, centers, museums, and many affiliated organizations. Students pursuing degrees in the fields of engineering and applied science are enrolled in either Yale College or in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. International” excludes U.S. citizens and students who have permanent resident status. Institute of Sacred Music (ISM) students are also enrolled in either the Divinity School or the School of Music, and counted only once in this table, in the ISM row. Enrollment figures for each school include only those students paying tuition to that school in the fall term.

Yale’s financial resources underwrite exceptional education, scholarship, and research, with profound benefits throughout campus and far beyond. Through careful stewardship of investments fueled by the generosity of its alumni and friends, the university seeks to extend its standard of excellence and to sustain it in perpetuity. In its spending, Yale aims to promote the exploration of big ideas, to support and expand its diverse community, and to pursue its ambition to improve the world, today and always. Nearly every student in Yale’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences receives financial aid in the form of tuition discounts, stipends, and health insurance, while many students in the professional schools receive university-administered scholarships or loans. And some professional schools, through the generosity of donors, are now tuition-free, including the David Geffen School of Drama, the School of Music, the Institute of Sacred Music, and the Yale Divinity School (for students with demonstrated need).

   The role of a Criminal Investigator or detective is to conduct investigations related to suspected violations of federal, state, or local laws to prevent or solve crimes. Investigators identify adversarial elements, strengths, dispositions, tactics, equipment, personnel, and capabilities through collecting information from people.
