The Death of the Bee
Linda Pastan
The biography of the bee
is written in honey
and is drawing
to a close.
Soon the buzzing
plainchant of summer
will be silenced
for good;
the flowers, unkindled
will blaze
one last time
and go out.
And the boy nursing
his stung ankle this morning
will look back
at his brief tears
with something
like regret,
remembering the amber
taste of honey.

STUDY ABROAD
Yale Summer Session Abroad or Non-Yale Summer Abroad - What’s the Difference?
- Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad are intensive, highly structured study abroad programs for Yale College credit. A full semester of coursework is condensed into the program length. Students benefit from the same level of rigorous coursework offered at Yale during the academic year. Through excursions and activities, students gain hands-on experience that amplifies the classroom learning.
- A non-Yale summer study abroad program is a program for academic credit run by another university or other study abroad program provider that you can attend during any one of your three summers while enrolled at Yale. After successful completion of a program of this type, you’d earn transfer credit towards your Yale degree.
You can find both Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad and Non-Yale Summer Abroad programs on our designated list using the Search Programs tool. Both types are ISA-eligible!
Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad 2023 – Deadline: Tuesday, February 7 @ 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)
Application for Credit and Petitions for Non-Yale Summer Abroad 2023 – Deadline: Tuesday, March 7 @ 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)
