Looking to make the most of your summer learning experience? The Justice Brandeis Semester is a full-bodied summer dive into a topic area that will not only earn you credit but also reshape the way you think about getting an education.
JBS is an engaging, immersive academic program in which small groups of students explore a thematic topic through inquiry-based courses linked to real-world experiential opportunities.
JBS internships, field-based research, creative work or community-engaged learning allow students to:
- gain real-world experience through experiential learning.
- build close relationships with professors and small groups of students.
- acquire skills that will make them stand apart from their peers after Brandeis.
