Program areas at Brandeis University

Instructional and academic support:brandeis University is a rare combination of a liberal arts college and a global research University. Our student body numbers 5,300, including undergraduates and graduate students. We have a graduate school of arts and sciences and two professional schools, the heller school for social policy and management and the international business school. The rabb school of continuing studies offers graduate professional programs for part-time students. Many academic programs are enriched by myriad interactions with the numerous other leading universities in the area. We work to connect theory and practice through field work and experiential learning.
Auxiliary enterprises: Brandeis University serves the needs and interests of students and has broad responsibility for the services and activities that enhance the quality of student life outside the classroom. These services and activities include but are not limited to community living, dining services, health center, psychological counseling center, and interfaith chaplaincy.
Sponsored programs include various research and instructional programs funded by external parties, including the federal government, foreign and state governments and private foundations and corporations. Brandeis research is at the heart of many societal, artistic, intellectual and scientific advances. Research at Brandeis is interdisciplinary, bold and collaborative. It's an approach that enables the faculty to leverage the relatively small size of the University to achieve an impact well beyond the sum of its parts. Brandeis is wholly committed to the proposition that basic research is the engine of innovation in human health and well-being.
