Brandeis University
Characterized by academic excellence since
its founding in 1948, Brandeis is one of the youngest private
research universities, as well as the only nonsectarian
Jewish-sponsored college or university in the country. Named for
the late Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis of the U.S. Supreme
Court, Brandeis University combines the faculty and resources of
a world-class research institution with the intimacy and
personal attention of a small liberal arts college.
For students , that means unsurpassed
access--both in and out of the classroom--to a faculty renowned
for groundbreaking research, scholarship, and artistic output.
At Brandeis, professors bring newly-minted knowledge straight
from the field or lab to the graduate and undergraduate
classrooms. Brandeis supports an innovative and exciting program
of learning that emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to
knowledge and the solution of real-life problems.
Undergraduates, from the very first year, enjoy leadership
positions and research opportunities typically available only to
upperclass and graduate students.
Brandeis is ranked in the top tier of the
nation's universities. Our graduates pursue careers in a wide
array of fields, and advanced studies in the nation's leading
graduate and professional schools. Located in Waltham , on 235
attractive suburban acres, Brandeis is just nine miles west of
Boston .
