Prospective Students
As a small research university, Brandeis provides you with a unique opportunity as a graduate student - one that emphasizes both inspired teaching and pioneering research. We have the advantages of a high-powered research university, with scholars of international acclaim and programs known for innovative, original research, but we also places a high value on teaching, with respect to not only undergraduates, but also graduate students. With relatively small programs, our faculty can give intensive, individualized attention to ensure that our students receive rigorous training and mentored support as they master a discipline and prepare for future careers.
As you explore our website, we invite you to contact not only our office, but faculty and departments as well. Graduate program chairs will speak with you about specific questions regarding your program of interest and intended career paths, while the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will provide insight into the admissions and financial aid process, pertinent deadlines, and specifics on housing and student life.
