Research at Tufts is about breaking down walls—between fields, between faculty and students, between what is and what could be. Innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration are the foundations of discovery at Tufts. The university’s world-class researchers push boundaries and ask questions that will take knowledge to the next level.

The longstanding relationship with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gives SMFA students special access to one of the world's most prestigious art institutions. Students go behind the scenes to explore the museum's rich collections, libraries, and archives. They network with artists and art professionals, develop working relationships with curators, pursue jobs and internships, and enjoy exclusive exhibition opportunities. This unique partnership with the museum brings a new dimension to student’s art school education.

As a Tufts student, one will take advantage of Boston, a vibrant, welcoming city where art, culture, and entertainment are everywhere. Medford/Somerville campus is home to the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and is located just five miles northwest of Boston and may be easily reached by car or public transportation.
