<p>Worth reading. To quote the Princeton Review:</p>
<p>Brandeis University has forever shaken its image as a safety school for students aiming for the Ivy League. An outstanding academic institution in its own right, Brandeis combines a world-class research institution with the intimacy and personal attention of a liberal arts college. For students, that means unsurpassed access to a faculty renowned for groundbreaking research, scholarship, and artistic output in disciplines both traditional and unique (including an innovative new Film, Television and Interactive Media major). Brandeis students have the opportunity to engage in laboratory research, co-author papers with faculty members, and participate in internships and community engagement beyond the campus. A great example of this hands-on learning is the Justice Brandeis Semester. Students spend a semester in small groups exploring a thematic topic through inquiry-based courses and fieldwork. (For example, a recent cohort had the opportunity to study civil rights and racial justice in Mississippi.)</p>
<p>The Hiatt Career Center at Brandeis provides an extensive career coaching program, involving alumni, parents, and employers, culminating with a job shadowing program twice a year, in January and June. On-campus recruitment opportunities are robust, as well as opportunities through student job treks and career fairs in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Chicago. Financial support for internships is available through Brandeis World of Work Program, which provides $200,000 annually to fund internships. By graduation most Brandeis students have participated in at least two internships and have the experiences sought by top graduate schools and employers. And it shows: students have had a placement rate of approximately 95 percent within six months of graduation.</p>
