Career Development
An Unprecedented Approach to Career Preparation
At Brandeis, career preparation is built into the educational structure. From their first days on campus, students will begin exploring interests, setting goals and connecting their studies to real-world opportunities. The result is a model of career development both comprehensive and individualized.
Career Preparation, Reinvented
- Dual Advising Support: Every student is matched with both academic and career advisors, ensuring students’ choices in the classroom align with their long-term goals.
- An Integrated Start: Career exploration begins during Orientation and continues through all four years, woven into courses, advising and co-curriculars.
- Required Experience: Every Brandeis student completes at least one internship, apprenticeship or comparable applied learning experience.
- Unmatched Career Preparation: Brandeis students access expansive alumni and employer networks, engage with the Center for Careers and Applied Liberal Arts, and leverage innovative tools like ETS’s Futurenav Compass.
Career Preparation From Day One
At orientation, Brandeis introduced first-year students to a distinctive model of career preparation — one that begins on day one, weaving exploration, goal-setting, and real-world connections into their liberal arts education.
