Master's Programs
-
Students in the MS in Artificial Intelligence program will learn from experts operating at the leading-edge of AI development. With a long-standing commitment to social good, Tufts School of Engineering faculty and students work together to examine the social and ethical contexts in which AI is deployed. Students receive mentorship from faculty and industry professionals who are internationally recognized leaders in AI-powered robotics, computer vision, machine learning, data analysis, decision-making, and assistive technology.
Designed for students with a background in computer science, mathematics, or a related technical field, the MSAI curriculum covers AI applications and techniques — including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and knowledge representation.
Undergraduate Minors
-
The minor program in computer engineering (CPE) provides students with foundational knowledge and practical skills in the domain – complementing the students' primary field of study and enhancing readiness for interdisciplinary engineering careers. The minor is available to all majors outside of BS in Computer Engineering and BS No Major, the later of which may not receive minors. The undergraduate minor in computer engineering consists of 6 courses.

The minor program in electrical engineering (EE) provides students with foundational knowledge and practical skills in the domain – complementing the students' primary field of study and enhancing readiness for interdisciplinary engineering careers. The minor is available to all majors outside of BS in Electrical Engineering and BS No Major, the later of which may not receive minors. The undergraduate minor in electrical engineering consists of 6 courses.

Materials Engineering focuses on the study, design, development, and testing of materials required in a wide range of manufactured products. The field is at the core of many new technologies that help decrease our impact on the earth, give us technological tools that change lives, and protect our health; ranging from renewable energy to environmental remediation, biomedical devices to controlled drug delivery, automotive and aerospace industries, buildings, and bridges. The minor enables undergraduate students to access a set of courses that will direct their education towards this field, giving them a background that will enrich the career directions and research questions that they can take on.
-
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has launched a new five-course minor in Public Health Engineering. With a strong emphasis on real-world applications, students gain mastery over engineering tools related to population health, public health interventions, civil infrastructure, and more. The program welcomes students from the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering who are interested in strengthening their engineering skills to improve population health at scale.
New Courses
-
Tufts Experimental College recently announced their Spring 2026 courses. Topics include the human-dog interaction, the science in sci-fi and pop culture, social media's safety infrastructure, and sustainability efforts at Tufts. Several courses have been approved for humanities, arts and social sciences (HASS) credit.
-
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a wide range of area focused degrees that are relevant to the CEE profession. CEE supports both full and part-time study options to service the needs of a diverse student population. The majority of the course options are provided using a hybrid format and/or offered in late afternoons or early evenings to allow remote and in-person learning with maximum time flexibility.
Internship and Cooperative Education Programs
-
School of Engineering students are strongly encouraged to participate in internships during their undergraduate years, typically during the summer after their sophomore and/or junior year. Tufts Career Center and the School of Engineering work collaboratively to identify and develop opportunities for students. Tufts engineering students have interned at software and electronics companies, research laboratories, consulting firms, government agencies, biotechnology giants, and entrepreneurial enterprises.
-
The SOE Co-Op Program offers engineering master’s students a unique opportunity to apply the theoretical principles they have learned in their coursework to real-world engineering projects. Get a sense of a company's culture and work environment, learn to interact with other colleagues in the field, and leverage your academic strength towards career advancement.
