Graduate Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Program
The School of Engineering’s Graduate Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Program offers on-campus MS students numerous advantages specific to the engineering discipline. Engineering co-op programs provide students with the opportunity to apply the theoretical principles they have learned in their coursework to real-world engineering projects. This practical experience enhances their understanding of engineering concepts and prepares them for the challenges they may face in their future careers.
GRE Waived
GRE scores are not required for applicants who have an undergraduate or graduate degree from a U.S. or Canadian institution. GRE scores are required for applicants who don’t have a degree from a U.S. or Canadian institution.
Choose Fully Online Degree Programs
Choose between studying on-campus just five miles from Boston or enrolling in one of our fully online degree programs–now offered in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering Management, and Technology Management and Leadership–and earn your degree from anywhere in the world.
Earn Two Degrees in Just 2 Years
At Tufts, hone your innovation, leadership, and management skills alongside your technical skills and graduate ready to lead.
