Tour Heller Virtually!

Many of our current students tell us that the day they visited campus was the day they decided to come to Heller, and we want to give our admitted students the same opportunity. We're excited to announce our new virtual tour video, which lets admitted students experience the Zinner Forum, explore our classrooms, and picture making Heller their home. Click the image below to begin your virtual tour!

You can also explore the beautiful Brandeis campus by clicking the image below.
