Departments & Degree Programs

Academic units at Brown take various forms. These include divisions, departments, centers, and programs, among others. Compared to departments, centers, institutes, programs, and committees are less formal associations of faculty established for interdisciplinary educational and/or research programs.

Departments, centers, and programs grant degrees. Below find a list of these units and the undergraduate and graduate degrees they offer.

Many Brown students engage in academic work that crosses departmental boundaries. Certain interdisciplinary programs for undergraduates not listed here may be found on the Dean of the College's concentration website.
