What Is Yale Summer Session Acting Program (DRMA S001)?
Yale's current program corresponding to the former Summer Conservatory for Actors listing is DRMA S001, administered by Yale Summer Session rather than Yale School of Drama. It is an intensive five-week, two-credit Session B conservatory covering foundational acting and scene work, text analysis, on-camera acting, voice, clowning, rehearsal, and masterclasses. Small sections support individual work; the program deliberately does not stage a public production so participants can concentrate on craft.
The audience ranges from rising high-school seniors age 16 or older to undergraduates, postgraduates, beginners, and working actors. There is no audition, but selection considers academic history, a personal statement, two recommendations, relevant experience, and applicable test scores. The completed 2026 session ran June 29-July 31. Tuition was $10,705 for two credits plus an $80 application fee; housing and meals were still TBA. The former $4,500 listing and projected 2027 deadline are inaccurate, and Yale has not yet announced the 2027 cycle.
