The goal of the CSEMS program at Tufts is to encourage the students to become
members of the high technology workforce following completion of a baccalaureate
degree in computer science, engineering, or mathematics at Tufts
University, thus meeting the anticipated workforce needs in these areas and
reducing the dependence on foreign nationals to fill open positions. CSEMS at
Tufts promotes the academic advancement and degree achievement of talented undergraduate
students from potentially low income backgrounds, with a particular emphasis on
minority and female students.
The program provides students with scholarships that replace the need to seek
remunerative work during the academic year. The project involves the Departments
of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical
Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical and Biological
Engineering, and Mathematics. Together, they offer seven accredited professional
bachelor's degrees, and a variety of combined-degree programs. One other degree,
the Bachelor of Computer Science, offered jointly by the College of Arts and
Sciences, and the School of Engineering is also included.
