By the Numbers
President Reinharz, PhD'72, is the seventh president of Brandeis University, and the first graduate of the university to hold that position.
Welcome
Welcome to Brandeis University.
From the outset, Brandeis has sought to blend the best of two worlds — the breadth and scope of a world-class research institution and the intimacy and accessibility of a small liberal-arts college. The university's low student-to-faculty ratio, small median class size and strong expectation that senior faculty will also teach, creates a rich learning environment.
We aim for the highest standards of excellence, and we strive for social justice — a legacy we inherited from the namesake of the university, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis, a man who stood for the rights of individuals.
I invite you to spend time with us through the Brandeis Web site, which can inform you about the departments and programs, the students and faculty we have at Brandeis. I would also like to invite you to visit the campus and experience Brandeis firsthand.
Jehuda Reinharz
President
