The School also offers joint-degree programs with the Yale School of Architecture, Yale Divinity School, Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Yale Law School, Yale School of Management, Yale School of Public Health, Pace University School of Law, and Vermont Law School. A new joint program with the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia will commence in 2012.
A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), officially administered by the Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, is also offered at Yale F&ES.
Summer sessions of the School were held on the Pinchot estate, Grey Towers, in Milford from 1901 to 1926. (The site is now Grey Towers National Historic Landmark.)

Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or programs:
“To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called “men of letters,” by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
