who do not have a master’s degree will instead be<br />
considered for admission to the M.S./Ph.D.<br />
program. Doctoral study consists of preliminary<br />
coursework and study, qualifying exams, and<br />
cre<strong>at</strong>ive research culmin<strong>at</strong>ing in a written dissert<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
Detailed requirements and procedures for the<br />
Ph.D. program are outlined on the department<br />

Associ<strong>at</strong>e Professor Anselm C. Blumer<br />
With technology advancing <strong>at</strong> a rapid pace,<br />
opportunities for advanced applic<strong>at</strong>ions of computer<br />
science are limitless. Professionals with experience<br />
and knowledge of the “hottest” topics in computer<br />
science—d<strong>at</strong>abases, Linux, object-oriented<br />
programming, software engineering, network and<br />
systems administr<strong>at</strong>ion, parallel and distributed<br />
computing—are rapidly advancing in salary and<br />
opportunity. This four-course gradu<strong>at</strong>e-level<br />
program will upd<strong>at</strong>e your skills and broaden your<br />
knowledge in computer science, through a “design<br />
your own specialty certific<strong>at</strong>e” taught by <strong>Tufts</strong>’<br />
renowned faculty in computer science. Completion<br />
of the certific<strong>at</strong>e requires grades of B- or better in<br />
all courses. Courses are transferable into the <strong>Tufts</strong><br />
M.S. program upon acceptance to th<strong>at</strong> program.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program is open to individuals with <strong>at</strong> least<br />
a bachelor’s degree in computer science, or a closely<br />
rel<strong>at</strong>ed field with approved work experience.<br />
Individuals completing the Post-Bac Computer<br />
Science Minor Program are also encouraged to<br />
apply.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dance Program of Drama and Dance offers<br />
dance courses appropri<strong>at</strong>e for both new dance<br />
students and students with previous dance experience.<br />
<strong>The</strong> objectives of this non-conserv<strong>at</strong>ory<br />
program are to foster the development of cre<strong>at</strong>ive<br />
resources and techniques, to introduce performance<br />
analysis, and to contextualize dance as an element<br />
of culture. This liberal arts approach encourages<br />
students to cre<strong>at</strong>e integr<strong>at</strong>ive links with other<br />
disciplines. Students may minor in dance, and<br />
dance courses may be used toward the drama major<br />
(see Drama), and toward the fulfillment of certain<br />
arts, world civiliz<strong>at</strong>ion and cultural distribution<br />
requirements. Dance performances choreographed<br />
by faculty and students are presented in the Jackson<br />
Dance Lab and other spaces on campus each<br />
semester.<br />
Dance Minor<br />
Five credits of six to eight half- and full-credit<br />
courses focusing upon techniques and processes for<br />
performing, cre<strong>at</strong>ing, and analyzing movement<br />
m<strong>at</strong>erials in and outside of “western” traditions<br />
within their cultural or historical context. Requirements<br />
include one lecture-discussion or other<br />
approved course, one full-credit cre<strong>at</strong>ive course, one<br />
non-western or diasporic studio course, dance<br />
elective courses, and a half-credit capstone research<br />
project (choreographic or written). Only lecture<br />
courses in dance may be submitted for transfer<br />
approval except for those in <strong>Tufts</strong> abroad programs.<br />
