A Center for Knowledge Creation
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!
Our Values
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
Our students thrive in our smaller-size programs that encourage interdisciplinary research.
GSAS Alumni
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences boasts a network of more than 10,000 alumni around the world. All of our alumni are entitled to the benefits and services offered by the Brandeis University Alumni Association. Reconnecting with alumni is one of Dean Cadge’s priorities for GSAS over the next few years. Learn more about online town halls with the dean, events from various academic departments, and other gatherings in the near future.
