The students meet in Providence every 6–7 weeks for a weekly seminar each trimester.

The university has also invested in [[MOOC]] development starting in 2013, when two courses, ''Archeology's Dirty Little Secrets'' and ''The Fiction of Relationship'', both of which received thousands of students.<ref>{{cite news |title=Brown launches two free online courses |url=https://news.brown.edu/articles/2013/06/coursera |access-date=May 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180514141420/https://news.brown.edu/articles/2013/06/coursera |archive-date=May 14, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref> However, after a year of courses, the university broke its contract with [[Coursera]] and revamped its online persona and MOOC development department. By 2017, the university released new courses on [[EdX|edx]], two of which were ''The Ethics of Memory'' and ''Artful Medicine: Art's Power to Enrich Patient Care''. In January 2018, Brown published its first "game-ified" course called ''Fantastic Places, Unhuman Humans: Exploring Humanity Through Literature'', which featured out-of-platform games to help learners understand materials, as well as a story-line that immerses users into a fictional world to help characters along their journey.<ref>{{citation |title=BrownX |url=https://www.edx.org/school/brownx |access-date=May 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180514065004/https://www.edx.org/school/brownx |archive-date=May 14, 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref>
