Special Student

about

Start your journey back to school by taking non-degree classes as a Special Student at Brandeis International Business School. These classes are offered in-person and are an excellent option for those who wish to enhance their expertise in business, economics or finance, as well as for those who wish to eventually apply to become a full-time or part-time student at the business school.

Special Students may enroll in courses on a space-available basis and may apply in either the fall or spring semester.

Should a Special Student wish to enroll in a degree program, the student would need to submit a full application by the application deadline for the term in which he/she wishes to enroll as a degree-seeking student. Up to eight credits completed as a Special Student will apply to the degree program if the student has earned a minimum grade of “B” in each course. Special Students are not eligible for scholarships or teaching and research assistantships.

Courses

The International Business School offers courses in business, economics and finance taught by faculty experts who are leaders in academic research or seasoned professionals.
