Overview

Unique aspects of the Biology program of Tufts University program are:

It is entirely course-based. There is no required thesis. Research opportunities are possible for highly qualified students, but neither required nor guaranteed.
It is fully customized. Each student’s program of study is tailored to their specific career goals.
It leverages the entire Tufts ecosystem. Relevant courses can be selected from any department at Tufts University.

It is suitable for full- or part-time study. Classes at a broad range of times, including evenings, can accommodate students who are currently working professionals. Full time students typically complete our program in two years or less.
