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.
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
