Student review [#65929] for Business Economics
at Brown University

Brown’s open curriculum allows students to select and take courses that they are open to potentially concentrating in, however doesn’t limit the students to courses within the concentrations themselves. Rather, the university encourages students to explore a range of potential interests and offers an incredible variety of courses, for example I am able to take ‘Organic Chemistry’, ‘Protest and Dissidence in Iran’, and ‘Financial Accounting’ in the same semester if I have interest in these three courses. The curriculum style allows students to take advantage of a more holistic approach to education and reduces the stress of thinking about what they want to do/be in the future. Furthermore, there is no GPA system, and students can take courses pass/fail which again, reduces the stress that is commonly associated with homework, coursework, and exams.

My experience has been incredible, and for that I must credit the people. Brunonians are very open-minded and worldly individuals who love both inspiring and being inspired by others.
