The companies and organizations that come to Brown to do on-campus recruitment - like tech, finance, and consulting - are just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to target companies and organizations that don’t come to Brown to recruit, you’re not alone. Brown students compete for internships and jobs with organizations around the world. About 70% of the Class of 2017 chose first post-graduate jobs with companies who didn’t come to Brown to recruit.
