science department is more than decent at yale. There are tons of great professors. the faculty to student ratio is good (not sure of the exact number right now) but i know for the geology department there are more faculty than students in the major. There is a lot of opportunities for science majors–freshman year you may want to take perspectives on science, which is a year long course that meets once a week where you get lectures by faculty in different fields of research and lead discussions about it. at the end of the year you get automatic funding to do research over the summer.
There is one class in MB&B where you get to travel to south america over spring break to collect specimens and then stay here to do research over the summer. pretty much there are tons of opportunities to get involved with research and yale’s science program is really good
