Spingold Green Room
Welcome
The distinctive elements of a Brandeis education include the intense intellectual engagement students share with faculty who are at the cutting-edge of their disciplines; the rich experiential learning opportunities students encounter in studios, archives, research labs, work settings, and the community; and the university’s longstanding commitment to global engagement and social justice. All of these elements are embodied in the new Justice Brandeis Semester (JBS).
What is the JBS program?
A Justice Brandeis Semester (JBS) is an engaging, immersive academic program in which small groups of students explore a thematic topic through inquiry-based courses linked to real-world experiential opportunities such as internships, field-based research, creative work or community-engaged learning.
JBS is an exciting program where students will:
- gain real-world experience through experiential learning that will enhance your career and make you a more competitive candidate for the work-force when you graduate
- build close relationships with professors and small groups of students
