Midyear Admission
Each year about 10 percent of admitted students are placed in the "Midyear Class," which begins in January. Students admitted to the Midyear Class can spend the fall semester months pursuing other activities and interests. Many use this time to work or travel; some take for-credit classes at a local college or university.
Brandeis also offers a number of Midyear Study Abroad Programs for students who are interested in taking advantage of a study-abroad opportunity.
Both fall and spring first-years receive a specially tailored orientation program that will welcome and introduce you to the Brandeis community.
Students admitted to the Midyear Class will receive additional information at that time.
