Academics

What it's like to learn at an elite university.

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.

Unprecedented access to world-class, field-leading faculty. Undergraduate experiential learning that opens doors to hands-on research, internships, fieldwork and community engagement. Flexible academic programs that allow you to pursue multiple interests, and blaze a path that's uniquely your own. A career services team that knows your name, and is here to make sure that no matter where your path takes you, you land on your feet.

At Brandeis, we believe learning is the fun part of college. Ready to get started?
