Study at Brandeis University
At Brandeis, we empower our students to do great things. It all starts with a close-knit, welcoming community — and a shared commitment to changing the world.
Brandeis University welcomes exchange students from partner institutions abroad and accepts visiting domestic students through the Social Impact Semester.
A Brandeis education provides you with a broad-based, liberal arts education within a research-driven, intellectually rich and experiential environment. Here, you'll gain the breadth and depth of knowledge and practical skills you need to make a difference — wherever it is that you might be headed.
We're a medium-sized, top-tier research university — which means our students enjoy a combination of resources and access they won't find at larger schools. Here, you'll build close relationships with faculty and a dynamic community of students who are as invested in bettering themselves as they are in pursuing a greater good.
About Brandeis University
Brandeis University is a community of scholars and students united by their commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and its transmission from generation to generation. As a research university, Brandeis is dedicated to the advancement of the humanities, arts and social, natural and physical sciences. As a liberal arts college, Brandeis affirms the importance of a broad and critical education in enriching the lives of students and preparing them for full participation in a changing society, capable of promoting their own welfare, yet remaining deeply concerned about the welfare of others.
Brandeis was established in 1948 by the American Jewish community at a time when Jews and other ethnic and racial minorities, and women, faced discrimination in higher education. Our visionary founders established a nonsectarian research university that welcomed talented faculty and students of all backgrounds and beliefs. At Brandeis, our founding values define and guide us. They inspire us to continue to reflect, grow and do more to affect positive change, locally and globally.
Brandeis is located in Waltham, Massachusetts, approximately 12 miles (25 kilometers) outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
