Mission  
School mission Education at Brandeis is personal, combining the intimacy of a small liberal arts college and the intellectual power of a large research university. Classes are small and taught by professors, 96% of whom hold the highest degree in their fields. They give students personal attention in state-of-the-art resources, giving them the tools to succeed in a variety of post-graduate endeavors. This vibrant, freethinking intellectual atmosphere was founded in 1948, Brandeis University reflects the values of the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis: a passion for learning, commitment to social justice, respect for creativity and diversity, and concern for the world. We have a beautiful park-like campus in metropolitan Boston, with easy access to the city's many attractions.
