Summer Session for High Schoolers
Courses and workshops offered throughout the summer.
Tufts credit option. Commuter only.
Are you a commuter student who just wants to take one or two courses or a workshop during the summer without taking a whole program? If so, this is the option for you! Students enrolled in this program can sign-up for any course or workshop at Tufts that is open to High School students. Our offerings include on-campus and online options, undergraduate or pre-college courses, studio art workshops, and college prep workshops … with most offered for credit.

Get a taste of life at Tufts University! This residential program is designed to mirror the Undergraduate experience, allowing highly motivated students to select their own course schedule. This program mixes college-level study (for credit!) with college tours, fun activities, and the opportunity to make lifelong friends.
Tufts Pre-College Intensives
Spend two weeks intensively studying your favorite subject at Tufts University, making new friends, and exploring our campuses and Boston.

International Relations (July 22nd – August 3rd 2018)
Medford / Somerville Campus
2 weeks. Tufts Credit. Residential.
Experience Tufts’ distinctive approach to the study of international relations by analyzing current and enduring global issues with faculty from the School of Arts and Sciences and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, by immersing yourself in intensive college-level foreign language training, and by living on Tufts’ campus. Outside the classroom, this unique program will expand your social network while exposing you to Boston’s rich academic and cultural offerings through several college and university tours and extracurricular activities.
Studio Art (July 9th – 20th and July 30th – August 10th 2018)
Boston Fenway Campus
2 or 3 Weeks. Not for credit. Commuter only (residential in Summer 2019).
Join our community of working artists and immerse yourself in thinking, creating and problem solving. While maintaining a focus on developing your unique artistic vision, you will take classes in the foundations of drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and installation. SMFA’s interdisciplinary approach to art means that you are encouraged to explore and integrate different media into your art. Our working artists will guide you in this process and advise you on your portfolio. An optional third week following each session gives serious art students extra time for portfolio development.
