Professional development at GSAS is for PhD and MA students in all departments and in all stages of their career. Whether you are just starting or are about to finish your degree, the resources we provide are for you. Our goal is to enable students to pursue fulfilling careers in the private sector, academia, non-profits and government.

The DEIS Scholarship, funded in part by the A. Philip Randolph Fellowship, supports students from historically underrepresented backgrounds, including first-generation college students, as well as students who have a history of activism in support of underrepresented communities.
GSAS brought together students across programs for a PhD retreat to build connections and skills.
GSAS students are passionate about a wide range of interests! In our new Geeking Out With... series, we profile a different graduate student every month and learn what they are passionate about, from research to teaching to hobbies to on-campus jobs.
GSAS students started a writing group to bring students together across programs and provide mutual support on the PhD journey.

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Brandeis University is a center for pioneering investigation embedded in the cooperative environment of a student-centered, medium-size research university. We are driven by academic excellence, reverence for learning, and inclusivity — values of the Jewish tradition.
The smaller size of our doctoral, master's and postbaccalaureate programs enables scholars to build close relationships with our world-class faculty and conduct interdisciplinary research across traditional academic boundaries. We invite you to learn more about our community of scholars!
Collaboration
Our students benefit from the close mentoring that is a hallmark of a medium-size university.
Investigation

Connection
Our graduates maintain lifelong relationships with advisors and peers as they develop into field-leading scholars.
Across Boundaries
Our students thrive in our smaller-size programs that encourage interdisciplinary research.
