Can I speak to someone about the
Tufts Mechanical Engineering or Human Factors Programs, research opportunities,
or other topics in greater depth?
Yes, but it is much more productive if you make an appointment in advance to
ensure a faculty or staff member will be available to answer your questions.
E-mail MEinfo@tufts.edu to set up
an appointment.
We can help you best if you have the following information for us:
- Topics of interest or area of study
- What degree program you wish to pursue
- Date and times that you are available to visit (visiting hours are 9AM-5PM)

How much is tuition?
Is Graduate support available?
- The Department awards Research Assistantships to full time PhD
and MS students on a competitive basis. Research Assistants (RAs)
are chosen by individual faculty members to work on specific research
grants for a stipend and a tuition scholarship.
- We also award Teaching Assistantships. Typically a Teaching Assistant (TA)
is responsible for two courses per semester and will receive a stipend in
addition to a full tuition scholarship. TAs are appointed during the
admissions process; there is no separate application.
- In addition to teaching and research assistantships, the Department
may also award partial tuition scholarships to outstanding students.
Tuition scholarships cannot be applied to charges associated with
undergraduate-level courses. These courses may be required for students
who require additional background in mechanical engineering.
I am an undergraduate; can I
transfer a class from another university to count towards my degree?
Yes, credits can be transferred but permission must be obtained from the
Department BEFORE you take the class.
What courses do you offer?
