Faculty
The SWM degree is supported by departments from across Tufts University and includes faculty from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. They jointly teach core classes as part of the SWM degree to support our interdisciplinary focus. Students also have the chance to develop close working relationships with professors during the year-long SWM seminar, which encourages students to pursue their own long-term projects and solve real world challenges.
