Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis
The School of Business and Economics is committed to shaping the future through our core values of integrity, innovation and inclusivity.
At Brandeis, we believe that business and economics should serve a greater purpose beyond the bottom line. That’s why our academic programs are designed to foster a deep understanding of global business and economic dynamics while emphasizing principled leadership and social responsibility. Our STEM-designated curriculum also integrates advanced technical skills with critical thinking and creative problem-solving — equipping students with the expertise they need to succeed in today’s fast-evolving, data-driven economy.
The School of Business and Economics was established in 2025 as part of Brandeis University’s bold vision to reimagine the liberal arts. Our roots can be traced back to 1987 and the founding of the Lemberg Program in International Economics and Finance within the Department of Economics. Building on the popularity of the Lemberg Program, Brandeis established the Graduate School of International Economics and Finance in 1994. By 2003, the School was renamed Brandeis International Business School to reflect its broader global business focus. Today, that global perspective remains central to our mission: preparing the next generation of data-driven leaders to shape a rapidly changing world.
Whether you are a prospective student looking to make a meaningful impact in your career, or an alumnus seeking to reconnect with a community dedicated to positive change, the School of Business and Economics offers a dynamic and supportive environment where innovation meets purpose.Graduate Programs — Apply Now Undergraduate Programs — Apply Now Alumni Resources
