I've been looking into Tufts University and I'm curious about their majors. Does anyone have insights into what they're best known for academically or any unique programs they might have?
Tufts University offers a broad range of academic programs across several disciplines. It has several schools: School of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, School of Medicine, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
In terms of what Tufts is best known for academically, their International Relations, Political Science, Economics, and Biology programs tend to stand out, as expressed by many students and alumni. The university also has highly respected programs in Environmental Science, Computer Science, and English.
For more unique offerings, one that comes to mind is the Human Factors Engineering program offered by the School of Engineering, which is quite rare as an undergraduate program. Another example would be the Combined Degree Program at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts, where students can earn a BFA and a BA or BS.
Thankfully, the flexibility in Tufts' curriculum also allows students to form their interdisciplinary studies if they want to blend different fields of study. Be sure to explore their website thoroughly for the full list of programs and feel free to ask admissions any targeted questions you might have about specific majors!
