Brandeis University?


Asked by dancing days
I researched Brandeis Uni. and it says that it is a Jewish-sponsored university. Does this mean that it is religiously affiliated. It says this on Wikipedia: Brandeis University is a private research university with a liberal arts focus,[1] located in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. It is located in the southwestern corner of Waltham, nine miles (14 km) west of Boston. The University has an enrollment of approximately 3200 undergraduate and 1700 graduate students[2]. It was ranked by the U.S. News and World Report as the number 31 University in the United States. Brandeis was founded in 1948 as a coeducational institution on the site of the former Middlesex University. The Heller School for Social Policy and Management, founded in 1959, is noteworthy for its graduate programs in social policy, social work, and international development[citation needed]. The university is named for the first Jewish Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856–1941). Brandeis is also sponsor of the Wien International Scholarship for non-American students.
