Tufts Gordon Institute

Tufts engineers are forward-thinking and innovative. The Tufts Gordon Institute helps to develop and foster that creative spirit and entrepreneurial edge through programs in Engineering Management, Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship for Social Impact, and Foundations for Future Leadership. These interdisciplinary programs prepare engineers and technical professionals to succeed as leaders in an increasingly competitive global environment.

The Gordon Institute offers a six-course minor in Engineering Management for students in the School of Engineering. This minor is easily paired with an engineering major and allows students to take a dive into business planning, finance, marketing, leadership, and more.

The Derby Entrepreneurship Center, within Tufts Gordon Institute, educates undergraduate students in the business of ideas: inspiring them, polishing them and turning them into enterprises. With access to outstanding teachers, intensive coursework, lectures, internships, and real-world business networks, students develop the advanced knowledge they need to become the entrepreneurial leaders of the future. 

The Gordon Institute is also a source of funding for students who compete in the $100k New Ventures Competition and offers lectures that focus on leadership in the corporate world. Recent speakers have included Tufts alumni like Joe Neubauer E63 (former CEO of Aramark Corporation), Jonathan Tisch A76 (CEO of Loews Hotels), Laura Lang A77 (former CEO of Time Inc. and Digitas), and Soichiro Minami A99 (founder of Visional).
