Back to its origin
Brandeis University is a private， coeducational， and nonsectarian institution of high education and research. Founded in 1948， Brandeis brings to American higher education a unique cultural perspective reflecting Jewish traditions of scholarship and community service and the commitment to social justice personified by Louis Dembitz Brandeis， the distinguished Supreme Court Justice for whom the University is named. While Brandeis maintains a special relationship with the Jewish community， it is not affiliated with any religious organizations； it offers no theological instruction and it welcomes students and faculty members of all backgrounds and beliefs around the world. The students are studious， and the college is known to provide the environment of a larger research university.

中文概述
布兰迪斯大学是美国马萨诸塞州一所私立小型大学，成立于1948年，建在原米德尔塞克斯大学的校址上。需要说明的是，位于纽约的爱因斯坦大学与位于波士顿的布兰迪斯大学是美国仅有的两所犹太人学校。学校创立的起因是由于美国社会过去对不同种族的差别待遇，在波士顿地区虽然有许多大学，但是犹太人入学一直受到种种的限制，因此他们便集资成立布兰迪斯大学，提供犹太人接受高等教育的机会。
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。虽然建校时间不长，但是在美国教育界却颇有地位，被誉为"全美最年轻的主要研究型大学"，素有"犹太哈佛"之美誉。布兰迪斯大学的价值观念重在强调学习、奉献社会、尊重创造和多元文化、关心世界。
布兰迪斯大学由犹太人集资创立，以第一个犹太人法官路易斯·布兰迪斯的名字命名。布兰迪斯大学在校约一半的学生来自犹太人中上家庭。不过学校的理念是不带宗教色彩的公平教学，校内也设有多个教堂方便不同信仰的学生。但来自回教家庭的学生不宜申请。学校还设有一个拥有生物化学、化学、神经科学和物理学的实力很强的医学预科专业。人文领域方面，布兰迪斯大学的历史系、戏剧系、音乐系、美术系、英文系也在美国新闻与世界报导每年的大学排行中名列前茅。
布兰迪斯大学设有文理学院、国际商学院、文理研究生院、社会福利研究院、继续教育学院。
