Majors Month 2024 is meant to support every student at Tufts who is deciding on a primary major as well as potential secondary majors and/or minors. We will be offering events and workshops to help you understand the major declaration process, explore majors and minors offered at Tufts, and think critically about how your degree will serve you after graduation in academic or professional opportunities. Majors Month is an excellent opportunity for you to engage with faculty and departments across all schools, as well as with the many offices and resources that can support you as you explore academic and co-curricular learning opportunities while at Tufts. Majors Month runs through Wednesday, November 20, and some events will offer raffles for prizes!
