Yale's grad program is actually quite renowned. I have a BFA in set design (not from Yale) and some of my professors studied at Yale. Plenty of Broadway designers studied there (and, of course, plenty didn't).

Dicey:
Isn't Meryl Streep a Yale Drama School graduate?

WhiteTrashCash:
These kinds of stories have been coming up less frequently lately because Millennials have learned that it's a lie when they are told to "Do what you love and the money will come." The reality is to get a degree in STEM because that's how you make money and you do what you love on nights and weekends. When these stories appear these days, they are usually from older people going back to school or people who lived really sheltered lives that prevented them from picking up currently widely available knowledge and life skills. It's still a shame when it happens, though.
