Brandeis University

As a medium-sized private research university with global reach, Brandeis University is dedicated to first-rate education while making groundbreaking discoveries. Founded by the American Jewish community in 1948 as a nonsectarian institution at a time when exclusionary practices prevented equal access to some of the nation's best universities, Brandeis has always welcomed talented students and faculty of every ethnicity, religion and cultural background. Today, our faculty, which include Nobel Prize recipients and Pulitzer Prize winners, are leaders in their fields, as passionate about teaching and mentorship as they are about pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Our students are motivated, compassionate, curious and open to exploring new and challenging experiences. Our 235-acre campus is located in Waltham, Massachusetts, in the suburbs of Boston, a global hub for higher education and innovation.
