<p>Jeff, is exactly correct. Brandeis is very diverse --25% of the student body identifies itself as minority or international. The school has a strong international flavor (in fact the majority of its International Business School is international students). </p>
<p>FYI Brandeis has a special relationship with India in particular. See:[Brandeis</a> and India | Brandeis University](<a href=“Global Brandeis | Brandeis University”>Global Brandeis | Brandeis University)</p>
<p>With respect to the university’s Jewish population, you should understand that less than 50% of its student body is Jewish. Brandeis is a non-sectarian school that embraces students from all types of backgrounds based on merit. The school has no religious affiliation, although it was founded and is funded signigicantly by the Jewish community in the tradition of other great non-sectarian private universities–e.g. Harvard and Yale: Puritan; Brown: Baptist; Princeton: Presbyterian; Columbia:Anglican; Duke: Methodist. etc. etc. Brandeis is no different. It is not a religious institution (in contrast to many Catholic and Fundamentalist colleges and universities).</p>
