     布兰迪斯大学Brandeis University是美国麻州一所私立小型大学,它成立于1948年,男女合校,建在原米德尔塞克斯大学的校址上。这所大学虽然保持了相对较小的规模,但是在生物化学等领域保持了美国一流的研究水准。此外,成立于1959年的Heller 社会政策与管理学院,则以社会政策、社会工作、国际开发课程著称。这所大学得名于美国最高法院第一任犹太人法官路易士•布兰戴斯(1856–1941)。
     虽然只有几十年的历史,在美国教育界却颇有地位,被誉为“全美最年青的主要研究院大学”。布兰迪斯大学Brandeis University 的特点是崇尚小班教学,大部分课程的上课人数,都在三人以下,学生找教授解决疑难或聊天,一点困难也没有。
      这所每年用在每名学生身上的经费高达29,500多美元的高等学府,以理科最为出色,生物化学(全美排第11)、物理(全美排第30)、化学(全美排第38)及生物,举国知名,其他学科,如计算机科学、英文、历史、政治科学和经济,也备受赞扬。前一两年有3,890人投考,录取率为58%。大学有四所研究生院:文理研究生院、国际经济金融研究生院、Michtom计算机学院以及Florence Haller社会福利研究生院。
     这里必须一提的是,三分之二的学生来自犹太人中上家庭,因此来自回教家庭或同情阿拉伯国家的学生,都不宜申请。

学校介绍Summary
 
Brandeis University is a private institution that was founded in 1948. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 3,614, its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 235 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Brandeis University's ranking in the 2015 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, 35. Its tuition and fees are $47,833 (2014-15).
 
Brandeis University is located in Waltham, Mass., just nine miles west of Boston. Students are guaranteed housing for their first four semesters. In addition to student-run TV and radio stations, Brandeis has religious and performance groups, service organizations, cultural awareness groups, performance groups and more. The Shapiro Campus Center serves as a hub of student activity on campus, housing a theater, bookstore, cafe, library, meeting rooms and a student art gallery. Cholmondeley’s, the campus coffeehouse, is another hotspot for concerts and comedy shows. The Brandeis Judges field more than 15 NCAA Division III teams and are known for their strong men’s soccer team. There is no Greek life on campus.
 
Brandeis is comprised of the College of Arts and Sciences and four graduate schools. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers highly ranked programs in English and history, and The Heller School for Social Policy and Management is notable for its programs in social policy, health policy and management, and international development. Nearly 50 percent of students participate in study abroad programs offered in about 70 countries around the world. The Steinhardt Social Research Institute at Brandeis provides research and information on contemporary Judaism and the Jewish community. Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman graduated from Brandeis, which was named for the first Jewish Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Louis Dembitz Brandeis.
 
Brandeis was founded in 1948, at a time when discrimination and quotas still restricted access to higher education. Its impetus was a powerful idea: the only non-sectarian institution founded by the Jewish community, Brandeis would be open to all, embracing the pluralism of American society, and with a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. Powerfully focused on academic rigor and intensity, it almost immediately equaled and exceeded older institutions, prizing intellectual inquiry and relishing discussion and debate. In its thirteenth year, Brandeis earned Phi Beta Kappa recognition, the youngest institution ever to do so. 
 
Brandeis offers a distinctive model: the personal attention and flexibility of a liberal arts college with the depth and opportunity of a research institution. Brandeis enrolls 3,500 undergraduate students, drawn from all parts of the nation and the world and from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. A faculty of tremendous scholarly distinction is equally committed to education - every faculty member teaches. A small student-faculty ratio preserves close connections between teachers and students. You will be educated in the classroom, but also in the field, the studio, and the laboratory, both locally and globally, and we integrate these various modes of experiential education and discovery with classroom learning. Brandeis is academically intense: most undergraduates complete two majors or combine a major with one or more minors, and a number pursue one of our 15 combined Bachelor-Master's degree programs. Students average an amazing three internships before graduation.
 
Brandeis students also sustain a vibrant co-curricular life. From two student newspapers, a radio and television stations, 19 Varsity sports, and over 200 other clubs and organizations, you will have unrivaled opportunity for campus leadership. Student activities, from our famous Chums coffee house to over 350 performing arts events each year, combine with school wide traditions to keep campus life busy every evening and weekend. Students also enjoy our location in the Boston area, with a commuter rail stop right on campus and shuttle services offering easy access to America's greatest college town. Following our commitment to Social Justice, Brandeis' largest student group focuses on community service, and students logged over 50,000 hours of service in the past year.
