Brandeis enrolls approximately 100-120 midyear students each January.
Brandeis receives applications from a greater number of qualified students than we are able to offer fall admission. By offering part of the class an opportunity to join our campus in January, we can enrich our community with more accomplished and motivated students.
Many midyear students are able to graduate after seven semesters at Brandeis if they take courses at another institution during the fall after high school. Other students choose to remain at Brandeis for the full eight semesters in order to complete all their academic pursuits. The choice of when to graduate, like the choice of how to spend the fall semester, is a personal one.
Absolutely. Midyear students, like all Brandeis students, may enroll in a non-degree-seeking program before matriculating at Brandeis. The registrar's office at Brandeis can help you determine whether you will receive credit for such coursework and whether those courses will fulfill your program's academic requirements.
Yes. All Brandeis students are able to receive credit for these courses. For a complete list of courses applicable for transfer credit, review the University Registrar's website.
All midyear students are guaranteed housing in a university residence hall for their first three consecutive semesters. Housing assignments will be made in November.
All admission offers at Brandeis are deferrable for a full year only. As such, midyear students must start at Brandeis in the month of January. For more information about deferring, read the university's deferral policy.
