These thirteen acres encompass the Health Science Schools and the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. Adjacent to, and contiguous with the Tufts facilities, is the Tufts Medical Center Hospitals, Inc. Within this complex of buildings, TUSDM occupies the Dental Health Sciences Building, which was completed in 1973. The School of Medicine is housed primarily in the Center for Health Communications, the Medical and Veterinary Building on Harrison Avenue, and the Jaharis Family Center for Biomedical and Nutrition Sciences. The School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences enrolls doctoral candidates in the basic biomedical sciences and is located on the eighth floor of the Biomedical building. All basic science departments of the Tufts Boston Campus serve the two professional schools (dental and medical), the Sackler School or Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. ii Accreditation Compliance The Commission on Dental Accreditation will review complaints that relate to a program’s compliance with the accreditation standards. The Commission is interested in the sustained quality and continued improvement of dental and dental related education programs but does not interfere on behalf of individuals or act as a court of appeal for treatment received by patients or individuals in the matters of admissions, appointment, promotion or dismissal of faculty, staff or students. A copy of the appropriate accreditation standards and/or the commission’s policy and procedure for submission of complaints may be obtained by contacting the commission at 211 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Il 60611-2678 or by calling 1-800-621-8099, extension 4643 iii Table of Contents Location

  • Office of Undergraduate Admissions Self-Guided Campus Tour
    Office of Undergraduate Admissions Self-Guided Campus Tour Welcome to Tufts While we are unable to provide you with a student-led tour at this time, we hope this self- guided tour of the Medford/Somerville campus will make your visit pleasant and informative. To help you become acquainted with the university, we encourage you to enter any of the campus facilities, or ask students on campus any questions you may have about the university, the facilities, campus directions, or their own Tufts experiences. Visitors with a disability that prevents them from using stairs should utilize the alternate tour route suggestion to the lower part of the campus by way of Packard Avenue and Professors Row (explained on page 7) Thank you for visiting Tufts. We hope you will enjoy exploring the campus and meeting the members of our community. Office of Undergraduate Admissions & Student Outreach Program Tufts University Self-Guided Tour The Beginning History Built on land donated by Medford farmer Charles Tufts and his wife Hannah, Tufts College was granted a charter in 1852 and became the 163rd institution of higher learning in the United States. Since that time, Tufts College has evolved into Tufts University and the “light upon the hill” now shines upon four campuses and over 100 university buildings. Campuses The campus that you are touring is the oldest of the campuses and is located in the communities of Medford and Somerville. The 150-acre property is home to the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Engineering, the College of Special Studies, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (founded in 1933 as the first graduate school of its kind in the United States).
