Vice Provost's Priorities
Brandeis University is committed to providing a research and teaching environment that deeply enriches our community of students, faculty, staff and alums by supporting core aspects of their experience, on campus and beyond. With a focus on communication, accessibility and transparency, Vice Provost for Graduate Affairs Charles Golden and the Brandeis graduate program staff and faculty are dedicated to upholding three central priorities:
Top Academic Offerings
We offer the cutting-edge faculty and graduate training through high caliber master’s and PhD programs that empower student careers in sciences and technology, social sciences and social policy, humanities and arts, and business and economics. We value and propel rigorous research, creative inquiry, strong teaching, impactful mentorship, and an enduring commitment to making the world better for all.
Comprehensive Support
Our faculty and staff support students holistically, actively nurturing their well-being as much as their scholarship and teaching, and we are committed to making graduate school accessible and welcoming to all. We partner with key departments across campus that offer opportunities to enrich our students’ emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual growth alongside their intellectual and professional development.
Real World Partnership
We support students as they prepare for a broad range of next steps in their lives and careers after graduating. Our professional development resources, alum networks, and practical preparations are multi-faceted and diverse. No matter where their next steps may lead after leaving Brandeis, students can count on us to provide guidance, counsel, and connections.
