Research

Collaborate, discover, explore

Inquiry, scholarship, collaboration and a passion to improve human lives are the building blocks of our DNA. That’s why Brandeis is one of just 71 members of the Association of American Universities, an organization of elite research institutions in North America.

Undergraduate Research

At Brandeis, undergraduates have the chance to work alongside faculty researchers, even a Nobel laureate. They also lead their own research projects and have co-authored hundreds of peer-reviewed research articles in scientific journals. The Undergraduate Research and Creative Collaborations Office helps students find topics, mentors, and funding for original research or creative projects.
