When you arrive at the main entrance to the Heller School, you will see the Welcome/Admissions area on your right. Directly ahead will be the Zinner Forum. Please make your way to admissions and a member of our team will greet you and show you to your first appointment.

The Heller School is located at the highest point of campus along the Loop Road, across from the Mandel Center for the Humanities. Brandeis also publishes an electronic campus map. If you require an accessible option, please contact Heller Admissions directly to assist you.
