B.A in American Studies

Study mode: Full Time |

This program's sequence of courses starts with introductory surveys that analyze power structures and compare systems of difference and inequality. Students continue with American Studies seminars on featured topics and a "cluster" of courses drawn from departments throughout the university focusing on one of several themes. Finally, in the senior year, American Studies students design a capstone special project or honors thesis related to their cluster. As a part of its educational philosophy, the American Studies Program also encourages majors to engage with and contribute to the public sphere as interns, artists, activists and scholars. For this reason, many of our students choose to double major in English, History, International Relations, Political Science, or Sociology, and in programs such as Peace and Justice, Environmental Studies, Community Health, Women's Studies, and Communication and Media Studies. The American Studies Program at Tufts enables students to develop the critical skills and intellectual flexibility necessary to prepare them for life and work in an increasingly fragmented, complex, and diverse society. The major themes of the American Studies Program can be explored in depth through interdisciplinary clusters. Students select five courses from departments throughout the university which will relate to a cluster's theme.

Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Study mode: Full Time |

This program is a research-oriented degree program that combines intensive training in research methods, techniques, and practical skills with a solid science and engineering curriculum that provides breadth and depth in the field. A key aspect of biomedical engineering is its interdisciplinary nature; introductory courses in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and physics, and foundation/concentration courses build the basis for creating the synergy among these disciplines that is required in the practice of biomedical engineering. The curriculum is intended to prepare students to continue with graduate study either in biomedical engineering or medicine, or to enter professional practice as an engineer or designer of biomedical systems. The curriculum includes intensive instruction in the sciences and engineering disciplines, as well as a unique integrated research experience covering sophomore to senior years, in which each student participates in an interdisciplinary research team to learn about research techniques, study research problems in biomedical engineering, and propose, implement, and evaluate solutions to these problems.
