Overview
By bringing together students, staff, and faculty from a broad range of professions, the Experimental College has served as a hub for advancing the intellectual life of Tufts through innovative and collaborative learning for more than 50 years. The approximately 80 interdisciplinary, and interactive courses that the Experimental College offers annually provide a broad, forward-looking curriculum that augments and enhances the more traditional offerings at Tufts, and bridges to the world beyond the university. Undergraduate students actively shape the curriculum by helping to select courses each semester, and they teach their peers in credit-bearing classes through two peer teaching programs unique to Tufts.
The Experimental College also serves as an incubator for the development of new academic offerings. Visiting instructors from outside of the academy teach many of the courses. The Experimental College also partners with various offices, academic departments, and student organizations to implement new initiatives within and beyond the classroom.
