Venue description

Graduate study at Brandeis combines advanced academic study with preparation for a professional career, in academia or in other domains. Doctoral programs train students to become both scholars and teachers. Master’s programs are a steppingstone to further graduate study or to professional pursuits. Whether at the doctoral or master’s level, GSAS programs place a high priority on mentorship — the opportunity to work closely with distinguished faculty in mastering a field and conducting important, original research. The excellence of the graduate programs is rooted in the quality of the faculty and the students. The programs are small and highly selective in admissions. The faculty are leading scholars and scientists, including seven members of the National Academy of Science, 10 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, two Pulitzer Prize winners, two members of the Institute of Medicine, three McArthur Fellows and four Howard Hughes Medical Investigators.
