International Relations

The Tufts Pre-College International Relations Program immerses rising high school juniors and seniors in the dynamic world of global affairs. In just two weeks, you’ll analyze, debate, and solve pressing international issues—from conflict and trade to public health and diplomacy—alongside peers and Tufts’ world-class faculty. Through interactive seminars and small-group discussions, you’ll examine current events, question key ideas, and develop the communication and analytical skills that shape successful global leaders. You’ll also collaborate in crisis simulations, conduct research with Tufts’ academic resources, and write a college-level paper guided by expert mentors. By the end of the program, you’ll earn Tufts credit, expand your network, and experience what it’s like to study international relations at a top-tier university—preparing you to think critically, act globally, and lead change.
