Tufts University is a private research university in Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts, with additional facilities in Boston and Grafton, Massachusetts, and in Talloires, France. It was founded in 1852 as Tufts College by Christian universalists who sought to provide a nonsectarian institution of higher learning.[6] Tufts remained a small liberal arts college until the 1970s, when it transformed into a large research university offering several doctorates.[7]
Tufts offers over 90 undergraduate and 160 graduate programs across ten schools in the greater Boston area and Talloires, France.[8][9] It has the country's oldest graduate school of international relations, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. The largest school is the School of Arts and Sciences, which includes both the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, which is affiliated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.[10] The School of Engineering offers an entrepreneurial focus through its Gordon Institute and maintains close connections with the original college.[11] It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" and is a member of the Association of American Universities.[12][13]
Tufts has a campus in Downtown Boston that houses the medical, dental, and nutrition schools and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, affiliated with several medical centers in the area.[14] Joint undergraduate degree programs are offered with the New England Conservatory, the College of Europe, and Sciences Po Paris.[15] The university's alumni, faculty, and affiliates include three Nobel Prize laureates, twelve Pulitzer Prize winners, five state governors, two U.S. Senators, four Emmy Award winners, one Grammy Award winner, and three Academy Award winners.[16] Tufts has also graduated four Rhodes Scholars, five Marshall Scholars, five Truman Scholars, and five Goldwater scholars.[17]
