Proposal Guidelines and Tips >
Admission to the Tufts-in-Washington program is
competitive. The faculty committee that evaluates the applications
looks at each student's qualifications in the following areas:
- Background: students should have completed or currently be taking
courses relevant to the area of study they plan to pursue in
Washington.
- Performance in social science courses: applicants should have a good
record in the social science courses they have taken.
- Grade point average: although students are not judged strictly on
grades, their overall scholastic achievement is a factor that must be
considered.
- Research proposal: as a very important part of the application process,
students will be asked to give the selection committee a brief summary of the
individual research project they propose to do in Washington.
Review the
research proposal guidelines and tips.
- Faculty Recommendation: Students should supply the committee with the
name of one faculty member who is familiar with their work. The only
way to participate in any one of the three tracks in the American
University Washington Semester is through application and acceptance
to the program through the Political Science department at Tufts.
Students wishing to participate in one of the other American
University tracks must apply to American University directly.
