Salary and Debt by Major at Tufts University
We calculated a Salary Score for each of Tufts University's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Tufts University to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Very poor quality teaching, disorganized. Professors are caddy and gossip about students. The focus is heavy on soft skills like how to converse with others rather than actual medical knowledge, transfers, ROM, measurements, etc. most students who go to fieldwork say they didn’t realize how little practice skills they learned until they were pushed into a hospital they were not prepared for.
