Tufts, as an institution, is supported by four main pillars: Globalism, Intellectual Citizenship, Interdisciplinary Studies, and Sustainability. At Tufts, students are engaged in these pursuits from their first day on campus.
A world-class research university, Tufts is grounded in a tradition of forward thinking innovation on an intimate scale. As an undergraduate you will be working closely with both your peers and professors on cutting edge research in the humanities, physical sciences, social sciences, and math. If research isn't your cup of tea, professors are still always accessible and engaged in the lives of students.
Located just outside of Boston, Tufts is able to maintain a true New England liberal arts campus while also keeping ties to the vibrant Boston community. Students at Tufts are engaged on and off campus and in over 50 countries around the world at any given time. Undergrads draw off the resources of our Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Medical, Dental, Nutrition, Veterinary, and International Affairs graduate schools on a regular basis.
Overall, we are a home for 5000 students for a four year stretch. When you come to visit Tufts, you'll see for yourself just how welcoming our intellectual community is!
