School of Arts and Sciences
As an undergraduate in the School of Arts and Sciences, you can pick from among 43 majors and 51 minors in the sciences, social sciences, humanities and creative arts. No need to settle on just one major, or even a major and a minor. Almost half our students double major and some even minor in a third discipline.

Student Experiences

Each spring, Brandeis students vie for a spot in Advocacy for Policy Change, a course that gives them the opportunity to lobby for the passage of a bill at the Massachusetts State House.
Dalia Moran ’24 and Arianna Jackson ’25 were paired to lobby for Bill H.2209/S.1457, an Act promoting access to midwifery care and out-of-hospital birth options.
