studies that span the continuum of knowledge
The exhilarating pace of discovery in medicine and the complex problems that lie ahead demand education that cuts across traditional disciplines. Students preparing for careers in medicine need training that is rigorous and well rounded and encompasses the social, political, legal and economic dimensions of health care.
Brandeis offers students health-related studies that span the continuum of knowledge from biological molecules to human physiology, from neural circuits to behavior, from epidemiology of infectious disease to global perspectives on health care.
Education in the biological and behavioral sciences at Brandeis provides the opportunity for hands-on experiences and learning with real-life application, not just memorization of facts. The learning community at Brandeis provides personal mentorship through small classes and experiences outside the classroom.
Guided by some of the best researchers in their fields, students participate in real, cutting-edge research, enabling them to learn how science is really done and to make their own contributions to scientific knowledge.
