Founded on inclusivity

The American Jewish community established Brandeis at a time when Jews and other marginalized groups faced discrimination in higher education. Our founders created a university open to all students, faculty and staff. Today, Brandeis continues to welcome students of all backgrounds and beliefs from around the U.S. and the world.

Brandeisians are committed to improving the world.
