The Brandeis Advantage

Situated just a short distance from downtown Boston, Brandeis University is an exciting, multifaceted research university for scholarship, teaching, and learning. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is one of four graduate schools on campus and offers seventeen doctoral degrees and more than forty master’s and certificate degrees. Close interaction between faculty and peers promotes interdisciplinary study, which rests at the core of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Due to the relatively small size of our programs, our faculty members are able to give intensive, individualized attention to ensure that you receive rigorous training and mentored support as you master a discipline and prepare for a future career.
The programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences invite interaction between disciplines, allowing many students to enroll in courses and perform research outside their home department. You will likely find that our students – certificate, master’s, and doctoral alike – are crossing traditional boundaries to develop innovative methodologies, explore new theories, and produce path-breaking scholarship.
