Tufts University Fact Book
The Tufts University Fact Book is a compilation of university information and statistics including historical trends, programs, students, faculty and staff, finance, facilities, and alumni data.
Welcome to the redesigned University Fact Book! While the format has changed this year, the key sections remain the same: Students, Faculty and Staff, Finance, Facilities, and Alumni data. Dashboards will be published as data becomes available, allowing a more timely and user-friendly way to explore Tufts data. Although some tables may appear slightly different compared to previous editions, the data definitions and reporting methodologies have been preserved for nearly all metrics. Any deviations in reporting are explained in the footnotes.
The Student section of the Fact Book contains data on five distinct areas: Admissions, Enrollment, Tuition, Financial Aid, Degrees Awarded. Each section offers current and historical views of data across the institution.
