Does anyone else find the website REALLY confusing?

<p>I couldn’t even figure out what majors/minors were offered! I almost eliminated Brown because I thought they didn’t offer Chinese according to an outside website. I FINALLY just googled Brown “East Asian Studies” and found it! </p>

<p>Meh… just a thread to rant about how annoying the website is/ have anyone who actually knows how to use the website teach us!</p>

<p>Sorry you had such a rough time. Are you sure you tried hard enough and didn’t rush? In any case…</p>

<ol>
<li>[Brown</a> University](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu%5DBrown”>http://www.brown.edu)</li>
<li>Click on “Undergraduate” link</li>
<li>Click on “The Brown Education” tab</li>
<li>Click on “Departments and Concentrations” link</li>
<li>Click on “Concentrations (majors)” link</li>
<li>BINGO!</li>
</ol>

<p>And there’s also this page with links to department webpages: [Concentrations</a> at Brown](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/advising/concentration_list.php]Concentrations”>http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/advising/concentration_list.php)</p>

<p>I myself found Brown THE most confusing of the 8 colleges to which my daughter applied.</p>

<p>LOL. Yeah, the first time the “new website” was introduced was back in 2007 or 2008. I remember talking to my English professor about it. </p>

<p>First of all, Brown doesn’t have “majors” - we have “concentrations.” If you go to the “academic life” portion and click on the departments, you should get an A-Z listing. Now at this point you should just find the department you are looking for and see if they have a concentration. If not, you can click on the letter “C” and scroll down for concentration you should be able to get this site (although it might be outdated) <a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/concentration.html[/url]”>http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/concentration.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>Hope it helps!</p>

<p>OH that’s why i couldn’t find them! I tried A-Z and looked for MAJORS! Thanks.
@Ambitiousmind07 there is no Brown Education tab
A-Z –> Concentrations, list of worked though :slight_smile: thanks
for future concentration-seekers

<p>You guys might be technologically challenged, which is okay, really. loool I was just kidding. </p>

<p>At first, I found the site to be somewhat difficult to navigate through, but I then managed to get the hold of it. After all, practice makes perfect. lol.</p>

<p>I find most colleges have crappy admissions websites. Has anyone here applied to Penn, for example? I mean come on.</p>

<p>I don’t think so…</p>

<p>You just have to become acquainted with the site.</p>

<p>Second tab from the left.</p>

<p>I think Brown is updating the website’s front page.</p>

<p>That’s what I hear as well, Jason. </p>

<p>As for the difficulty, whereas I find it pretty easy to get around, the trick on any college webpage is use the search function.</p>

<p>oh, I was looking at Academics</p>

<p>I, too, find Brown’s website confusing.</p>

<p>At least most of the websites have the general idea of
Academics -> Undergraduate (or College of ___ , etc…) -> Departments and Programs -> Majors/Minors
but Brown is different :(</p>

<p>@Rockermcr: MIT’s site is BEAST! I’m not an MIT applicant, but wow!</p>

<p>According to a recent Daily Herald (Brown’s newspaper) article, Brown is revising the website soon.</p>

<p>It it definitely the least intuitive college site I’ve used so far.</p>

<p>I agree, Brown’s site sucks. So does UPenn’s.</p>
