Tufts University is unique in many ways, but some of the most notable include its world-renowned faculty, its commitment to hands-on and experiential learning, and its location in the Boston area.
Tufts’ faculty is one of the best in the world. Tufts has been recognized as a “Top 20 Research University” by U.S. News & World Report for nine consecutive years. The university is also nationally ranked for its graduate programs in education, engineering, and public policy.
The university’s intimate size makes it possible for professors to work closely with students and facilitate their success. Tufts prides itself on providing small classes that allow students to receive individualized attention from their professors during class time as well as outside of class time through office hours or email correspondence.
Moreover, Tufts students have many opportunities to get involved with research right away through Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) or through independent research projects with professors. Students also have access to dozens of undergraduate research conferences and symposia each year where they can present their work and meet other researchers in their field of interest.
Also Tufts is committed to providing students with real-world experience through hands-on learning opportunities like internships, co-ops, study abroad programs and service learning projects that give students an edge when it comes time to look for jobs after graduation.
