Brandeis University to Redefine Liberal Arts Curriculum with Focus on Career Readiness
New England Council member, Brandeis University, has announced an initiative to revamp its curriculum to center around career-readiness. Brandeis president Aurther Levine recently introduced “The Brandeis Plan for Reinventing the Liberal Arts,” which aims to give students new skills and a chance to enter the workforce early.
The new plan includes several key elements, including a redesigned core curriculum, a focus on career development from day one, a career-competency second transcript, and a unified academic structure that combines liberal arts with professional education.
“We’re choosing a bold path forward, one that invests in Brandeis’ academic future and reaffirms our leadership in higher education,” said Lisa Kranc, chair of the Brandeis Board of Trustees in a statement.
The New England Council commends Brandeis University for its efforts to best prepare students to contribute to the workforce.
