Why Tufts? Intellectually Playful. Kind. Collaborative. Civically Engaged. Globally Minded.

While Tufts students are as multidimensional as the Hill they call home, these descriptors tend to define our community. Located just five miles outside of Boston, Tufts values close student-faculty collaboration, unique interdisciplinary research, and diversities of all kinds.

Affordability

We believe that the cost of attending Tufts should not be a barrier to students and their families. That is why Tufts proudly meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, regardless of citizenship status. And with the Tufts Tuition Pact, U.S. undergraduates will attend Tufts tuition-free if their annual family income is under $150,000, with typical assets.
