This program is an intensive research experience meant for students who have a passion for the social or natural sciences. It provides six weeks of meaningful exposure to college-level research at a prestigious university. The program is run well, and the staff are very nice and helpful. If you know students who are interested, I would definitely recommend TSRE for them.

This program was two of the most fun weeks I ever had. Having the opportunity to explore my passions amongst other excited students was absolutely amazing, and the friendships I built on campus will last a lifetime.

My experience at Tufts is one I will never forget. I learned so much, met so many great friends, and got a glimpse of college life, one that will make me look forward to college until the day that I start.
