<p>Rochester affords numerous research opportunities in the sciences especially. I really cannnot speak with any knowledge about the opportunities in business as I have no direct personal experience other than d’s friend who was involved with Investment Banking student organization, had excellent placement in study abroad in London which led to summer internship and job upon graduation’
The Brandeis Curriculum requires as does Rochester, freshman writing and two other classes that are considered Writing Intensive. All classes are coded so you know exactly what the classes qualify for in terms of any requirements. You must take 1 class that is classified quantitative reasoning, one humanities, one social science, one non-western culture, one year of physical education (ungraded) and either a year of foreign language or place out. Courses toward your major can apply such as in Art History, a required non-western culture Art History class counts as well for the university requirement, classes you take for Study Abroad can count with approval, either with syllabus in advance or because Study Abroad department has already made that determination. Again as with Rochester, any Study Abroad program must be approved in advance and if not on the approved list of programs, there is usually a supplemental fee charged and not a good chance of classes counting toward your major or electives within your major.</p>
