EARN YOUR CERTIFICATE IN CERTIFICATES
Are you looking to retrain or refocus your career? Consider Tufts’ practice-oriented certificate programs. Most consist of four or five graduate courses offered in the late afternoon or evening. They equal roughly half of the credits you’ll need for a master’s degree, and most credits will transfer to our graduate programs. Computer Science and Offshore Wind Energy Engineering also offer a post-baccalaureate degree option, and Computer Science students can choose between studying online or on campus.
Public school teacher Vera Gor completed her K-12 engineering education certificate online. She engages her English language learner students through techniques she learned in the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach’s Teacher Engineering Education Program (TEEP). Pictured on a video call with CEEO director Merredith Portsmore, Vera uses engineering to develop hands-on, project-based learning experiences for students.
