Student Outcomes
495 of 1677 Graduates (39%) from Class of 2022
88 %
of undergraduate alumni 10 years out say Brown prepared them for their current career
Brown alumni can be found across the nation and globe, all at different stages and all with different career paths. Neuroscience majors who become lawyers. Math majors who become artists. Economics majors who become physicians. Music majors who become developers. A student’s career journey is much more than the result of what concentration they study or where they first intern — it’s the result of a continuous cycle of self-reflection, connection and exploration of what’s out there.
Having the freedom to explore my many interests with the Open Curriculum completely changed my trajectory from a pre-med psychology concentrator my first year to a public policy concentrator. As a result, I ended up attending law school and am still practicing today.
