耶魯大學(xué)(Yale University)是一所坐落于美國康涅狄格州紐黑文的私立大學(xué)，創(chuàng)于1701年，初名“大學(xué)學(xué)院”(Collegiate School)。耶魯大學(xué)是美國歷史上建立的第三所大學(xué)(第一所是哈佛大學(xué)，第二所是威廉瑪麗學(xué)院)，該校教授陣容、學(xué)術(shù)創(chuàng)新、課程設(shè)置和場館設(shè)施等方面堪稱一流，與哈佛大學(xué)、普林斯頓大學(xué)齊名，歷年來共同角逐美國大學(xué)和研究生院前三的位置。
在美國的教育界，流傳著這樣一句話：“普林斯頓董事掌權(quán)、哈佛校長當(dāng)家、耶魯教授做主。”耶魯?shù)?ldquo;教授治校”舉世聞名，耶魯憑借其優(yōu)秀的學(xué)子創(chuàng)造了一個政壇的奇跡。所以，耶魯素有“總統(tǒng)搖籃”之稱，教員之間經(jīng)常開得玩笑就是：“一不小心，你就會教出一個總統(tǒng)來。”
