In this recorded information session series, admission officers and students walk you through Brown’s academic offerings and the Open Curriculum, research and community engagement, advising, financial aid, and the application process.

After a welcome from Brown’s dean of admission, our admission officers discuss academics at Brown. Learn about the defining features of Brown’s academics, including the freedom and rigor of our Open Curriculum, the ability to “shop” your choice of 2,000+ courses each year and the flexibility to take classes satisfactory/no credit (or pass-fail).

Find out how Brown’s students learn outside the classroom through research and community engagement. We discuss extensive research opportunities available to undergraduate students as early as their first year, community-based learning in the Providence area and beyond through the Swearer Center for Public Service, and global engagement by studying abroad.

Advisors and mentors support Brown’s students through every step of their college experience. Learn how faculty, staff and peer advisors help students navigate academics and student life and how the Brown Center for Career Exploration helps students find internships, network with alumni and land professional and postgraduate study opportunities.

Brown’s generous financial aid program helps ease the burden of college tuition and student loans. Learn about Brown’s need-blind approach to college admission, how to estimate cost and aid, and about the Brown Promise — our commitment to eliminating packaged loans from all undergraduate financial aid offers.
