Tufts University
About
Tufts University is a private research university with its main campus on the hill straddling Medford and Somerville, just northwest of Boston. It educates undergraduates and graduate students across a wide spread of schools, including Arts and Sciences, Engineering, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Fletcher School and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Its researchers pursue work that expands knowledge, improves health and tackles complex challenges.
Beyond the Medford/Somerville campus, Tufts runs a School of Medicine, a School of Dental Medicine and a Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Boston, and the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton. The Tisch College of Civic Life, a university-wide college focused on civic engagement, hosts public events, including a fall program. Students, scholars and employees come from more than 90 countries, and an International Center supports them and their dependents.
