S C H O O L O F A R TS A N D S C I E N C E S >CO L L E G E O F L I B E R A L A R TS >School of Artsand SciencesMission StatementBroadly recognized as one of the premier liberal artscolleges within a research university, the School ofArts and Sciences at Tufts University educates studentsfor transformational leadership in communitiesaround the world. Tufts’ tradition of innovationdates to the school’s founding in 1852. Today, amulti-disciplinary and experiential approach definesscholarship and teaching. Faculty and students usethe curricular framework of the arts and sciences toaddress the great intellectual and social challengesof the 21st century.The school has a distinctive style. Excellence inscholarship and teaching are the school’s highestpriorities; translating inquiry and research intoaction is a defining theme. The Faculty of Arts &Sciences, the largest of Tufts’ seven schools, explorescollaborative research opportunities across the university’sprofessional schools and around the world.More than 5,000 students at the undergraduate andgraduate levels represent the broad range of intellectual,creative and personal attributes. The creationof new knowledge in traditional and emerging disciplines,a dedication to globalism and active citizenship,a commitment to humanitarianism anddiversity in its many forms, and a belief that intellectualdiscourse and discovery serve the commongood are deeply held ideals.College of Liberal ArtsRequirements for DegreesFor students entering the College of Liberal Arts,the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Scienceis awarded after four years (eight semesters) offull-time study and with successful completion ofthe equivalent of thirty-four credits. (Study in summerschool at other institutions does not counttoward the residence requirement under this policy.)A cumulative average of C- (1.67) or higher isrequired for graduation. No more than two of thethirty-four courses may consist of fieldwork orinternship placements. Up to two semesters of fulltimestudy after matriculation at Tufts may bespent at other approved four-year institutions or onapproved foreign-study programs. (See ResidenceRequirement in the general information section fordetails.)Three-fourths of all courses taken at Tufts withstandard grading must be completed with a grade ofC- or better. There is no rigid program of coursesthat must be taken by every student. Students areregarded as individuals and each student is encouragedto pursue a course of study appropriate to hisor her training, experience, aptitudes, and plans forthe future. Within a framework designed to ensureboth breadth and depth in intellectual development,there is a broad range of choice. Students work withtheir advisers to select those courses best suited totheir particular needs and interests.Each student selects courses to fulfill the foundationand distribution requirements. All coursesused to fulfill these requirements must be taken fora letter grade, not pass-fail.Degree Audit Reporting SystemDARS is a web-based application that allows studentsto systematically assess their progress towarddegree completion. A DARS audit will reportdetailed degree requirements, how coursework canbe used to complete that degree, and completed andoutstanding requirements. For more informationvisit http://degreeaudit.studentservices.tufts.edu.Foundation RequirementsThe faculty recognizes the following elements asbasic to any program leading to a bachelor’s degreein liberal arts, whatever a student’s particular interestsmay be. First, an educated person in our societymust be able to write coherent English, and must beable to apply that writing ability to the criticalanalysis of information and ideas in any field. Second,the study of another language and of foreigncultures is indispensable to a liberal education; suchstudy provides a basis for locating oneself within alarger cultural and international context. Coursesin college writing, foreign language and culture,and world civilizations constitute the foundationof a liberal arts education at Tufts.The foundation requirements should be metearly in a student’s college career, so that thesecourses may serve as a foundation for later work.Where appropriate, a single course, examination,or other unit of work may be credited toward thefulfillment of both the foundation and the distributionrequirements.10
