Your concentration (and overall academic program) provides broad preparation for many possible careers. While a small number of Brown concentrations are directly linked to specific career paths (e.g. Engineering), most are not. Nevertheless, Brown graduates have found that the skills and knowledge they developed at Brown have been relevant and applicable in a wide variety of work settings. Employers value the high-level writing, research, and analytic abilities required by all of the concentrations at Brown as well as specific, and/or specialized knowledge.
You can learn more about concentration options by taking advantage of the many advising resources at Brown, including:
- Focal Point, Brown’s unique concentration search tool.
- Departmental concentration advisors, and the concentrations page on the Dean of the College web site.
- Brown Degree Days, a series of departmental-based events where alumni return to campus to talk about the connection between careers concentrations.
- Academic Deans’ office hours.
- BRUnet, Brown’s alumni career network.
- CareerLAB resources, including online tools, the Career Self-Assessment Tipsheet, and individual appointments with our career advisors.
