This was the best source we could find: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/local/women-in-engineering-and-computer-science/2089/. It states that women earned 49% of engineering degrees at Yale and
13% of CS degrees. The CS number seems suspiciously low, and according to this list: http://cpsc.yale.edu/people/2016-2017-computer-science-degree-recipients, it’s closer to 30%. The under-representation of women in CS is probably a worldwide issue, and certainly not one that is limited to Yale.
There are no minors here, because the administration feels it discourages academic experimentation and draws people into a paper chase. However, one can always take lots of statistics classes outside the major, or choose to double major if one wants to delve deeper into both subjects. The ‘minor’ title is definitely not required to show employers you have some knowledge of statistical methods.
The major tech companies (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Palantir, etc.) all recruit on campus, either during career fairs, by posting on internal job boards, or by sponsoring events like Hacknights and Hackathons. Another way to get internships is by being referred/recommended by an existing Yale student or alum at the company, which is how I and a lot of my friends got their internships. Yale engineering students also have access to the engineering fair at Columbia, and lastly most companies also advertise their summer internship programs online.
Startups and tech firms don’t just visit Yale looking to hire CS talent, they also hire for generalist roles, and are often on the lookout for specific artistic, scientific, financial or legal expertise. If some of these firms also receive resumes from CS majors, they would be glad to take a second look at them. I can’t really compare career services at Yale with that of other universities, but it seems to work fine for most of us
