Undergraduate Education

Brown has earned a global reputation for its innovative undergraduate educational experience, rooted in its flexible yet academically rigorous Open Curriculum.

Probe theoretical physics with a Nobel Prize winner. Invent a new musical instrument. Design a medical device to prevent strokes during cardiac surgery.

At Brown, undergraduates are creators, leaders and doers who are not satisfied with merely raising questions — they learn to confront, address and solve problems facing society, the nation and the world.

Students are the drivers of their own academic experiences, surrounded by a community of world-class scholars invested in their success. They are actively engaged in teaching and learning, empowered to advance their intellectual growth, and transformed to lead lives of action and purpose.

What makes a Brown education unique?

Ask undergraduate students what sets Brown apart, and you’re bound to get 6,560 different answers. That’s because no single experience defines a Brown education. Instead, a wide range of educationally innovative opportunities and experiences prepare graduates to flourish as accomplished leaders, independent thinkers and active global citizens dedicated to making an impact.
