Hey! I've been researching Tufts University, but I'm not sure if it's considered a research-focused institution. I'm looking to be involved in public health research as an undergraduate. Can anyone provide insight on whether Tufts is a good choice for that? Thanks a lot!
Hello! I'm glad to hear that you're interested in pursuing public health research opportunities as an undergraduate. Tufts University, while known primarily for its strong undergraduate teaching programs, does maintain a focus on research in various fields.
In regards to public health, Tufts has a highly regarded Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, which provides opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and research. Additionally, Tufts offers public health programs through its School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering, which means there'll be various research avenues for you to explore as an undergraduate.
While not considered a Research I institution like some universities, Tufts still places emphasis on faculty research and student involvement. Given the university's commitment to interdisciplinary research and public health offerings, Tufts could be a strong choice for you in your pursuit of undergraduate public health research.
