Choose Your Tufts Adventure
Do you remember the books where you could build your own story? You arrived at a page and had a choice to make—option 1, skip to page 24; option 2, skip to page 35. Tufts is kind of like that: you get to be the author of your own experience. Whether you’re an artist, an engineer, a poet, or an economist, we have something for you. Check out some options below—and keep in mind that this is just scratching the surface!
