Find yourself. Lose yourself. Get your answers questioned and your questions answered. A Brandeis education is a vigorous exploration in critical analysis, creativity and self-expression.
Choosing a college (education) is a really big decision. There's so much to think about: size, location, campus community, professors, career services, majors, clubs. The good news is that the most important qualities of a Brandeis education never change: academic rigor, a welcoming, diverse community, innovation in teaching and learning.
Inquiry, scholarship, collaboration and a passion to improve human lives are the building blocks of our DNA. At Brandeis, students learn persistence, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking — and, of course, the joy of discovery.
Free pizza at midnight during finals. Bubble soccer. Organic vegetables from our rooftop farm. Clubs that range from a cappella groups to skydiving. If you can’t find your passion here, you can create it — and find other Brandeisians who want to join you.
Art makes things happen. It bridges cultures and forges understanding. It sparks conversation and inspires creativity. Since our founding, the arts have always played an important role in our commitment to global citizenship and social change.
There is no other place like Brandeis. As a medium-sized private research university with global reach, we are dedicated to first-rate undergraduate education while making groundbreaking discoveries. Our 235-acre campus is located in the suburbs of Boston, a global hub for higher education and innovation.
Biology Professor Michael Rosbash praised Brandeis for allowing him to 'explore without boundaries' after being named a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine on Oct. 2, 2017. Rosbash won the honor along with Brandeis Professor Emeritus of Biology Jeffrey Hall and Rockefeller University’s Michael Young. They are the first Brandeis faculty members to win a Nobel Prize.
