Across arts, sciences, business and policy, Brandeis graduate programs foster intellectual exploration and career success.
One of the key differences about Brandeis' graduate programs is our emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. You will learn the importance of connecting with people who have a broad range of expertise and experience.
We support all doctoral students and the majority of master’s and post-baccalaureate students who maintain satisfactory academic progress with loans and scholarships.
