Lifelong Learning
Welcome to BNC's expanded learning opportunities, now representing a broad spectrum of exciting topics and new learning modules.
Study With the Best
Brandeis faculty continue to provide stimulating learning opportunities through their renowned study guides (formerly syllabi and brieflets). BNC's trademark study guides consist of scholarly information on a particular topic, insightful questions for discussion, a faculty biography and a recommended bibliography for further study.
Encore Series and New Student Forum
BNC members will love these two continuing-education opportunities with a distinctly Brandeis flavor. The Encore Series showcases faculty and celebrated guest speakers at special on-campus events. The New Student Forum provides incoming freshman the opportunity to discuss a common summer reading assignment with the book's author prior to the start of classes.
University On Wheels (UOW)
For over fifty years the BNC has offered members a remarkable chance to interact directly with Brandeis Professors. Our innovative “University on Wheels”, brings these world-class educators to you Fall through Spring semesters, traveling to Chapters across the country to strengthen the Brandeis connection. Our University Outreach offers exciting opportunities for lifelong learning. Our professors deliver engaging, customized lectures on culture, history, social justice, world events, the arts, and more. We are proud to extend these opportunities beyond our national community making them accessible to our global community through our Online Chapter.
“Every citizen must have education — broad and continuous. This essential of citizenship is not met by an education which ends at the age of 14 — or even at 18 or 22. Education must continue throughout life.”
