Office of Graduate Studies
The Office of Graduate Studies at Tufts University serves graduate students
in both the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering,
and coordinates activities that promote academic, research, and social
interactions among all of them. This office is the primary administrative and
admissions office for the School of Engineering's graduate programs.
Our mission is to offer graduate programs that feature stimulating academic
opportunities, innovative research environments, and close mentoring from a
world-class faculty. We emphasize the importance of communication, leadership,
and teamwork skills. While we value a solid foundation within the discipline of
any particular field of study, we strive to enhance the quality, breadth, and
academic diversity of graduate education by providing opportunities for
cross-department and cross-school activities that take advantage of the unique
academic environment offered by Tufts University.
