Tufts University

Tufts University is a private research university in Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts, United States, with additional facilities in Boston and Grafton, as well as Talloires, France. It was founded in 1852 as Tufts College by Christian universalists who sought to provide a nonsectarian institution of higher learning, and remained a small liberal arts college until the 1970s, when it became a larger research university. The corporate name of the university is Trustees of Tufts College. Tufts enrolls over 13,000 students and offers over 90 undergraduate and 160 graduate programs across ten schools, including the country's oldest graduate school of international relations, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
