Explore life at the Brown School
Our caring and engaged community will support your growth, connecting you to transformative resources and experiences.
Our campus is the first place we put our values into action.
At the Brown School, you will join a student-centered community dedicated to supporting your academic and professional development. Our campus is home to faculty, students and staff who will guide, challenge and inspire you every day. In our welcoming and inclusive environment, you’ll find the resources you need to generate big ideas that can solve complex problems.
Among your peers, you’ll find classmates who will become your collaborators, friends and colleagues in the field. Our students have diverse opportunities for leadership — assuming roles in student groups, research projects, community service and advocacy efforts — and they help to drive programming across campus. They host a variety of events throughout the year including the St. Louis Pow Wow, Best of Brown, and a wide array of management trainings.
The Brown School and its affiliated research centers fill three interconnected buildings in the heart of Washington University, creating a comprehensive “campus within a campus.” Our facilities are designed to provide what you need to make the most of your days at the Brown School — including a café; study rooms ; a Library and Computer Lab.
