The Brown Curriculum

The Brown Curriculum refers to a comprehensive educational framework developed at Brown University that emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and student-centered inquiry. It encourages students to design their own academic paths, combining diverse fields such as arts, sciences, and humanities, to foster intellectual flexibility and real-world problem-solving. Unlike traditional curricula with fixed courses, Brown’s approach promotes exploration, creativity, and personal engagement, preparing students to adapt and innovate in a rapidly changing world while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
