Yale-NUS College will stop accepting new students and will be closed down by 2025, when its final batch will graduate.
Yale-NUS College is a liberal arts institution set up by Yale University and the National University of Singapore in 2011.
NUS, in a press release on Friday (Aug 27) morning, said Yale-NUS will merge with NUS’ University Scholars Programme (USP) to form a new college that will open by August next year (2022).
The USP started in 2001 and admits around 240 undergraduates a year.
In merging the two schools, NUS said it aims to bring together the best features and extensive experiences of USP and Yale-NUS.
