Please note: The below represents a sample schedule based on our best expectations for the in-person iteration of this program.
The schedule is subject to change as we continue to develop the program to be as meaningful as possible for our students. Tufts Pre-College Programs staff is developing a series of social activities throughout the program so that students can meet each other across programs and so that students can participate outside of program hours.
These activities may be in-person or in virtual formats, and they are open to residential and virtual students alike. Many programs are also planning their own program-specific activities, often thematically relevant to the program content itself. Look out for these activities in the program description above and in the information provided after you enroll! Whether you commute to our program, live with us on-campus, or participate virtually, we endeavor to make each moment of the student experience at Tufts memorable for our students.
From our dorms to our dining halls, our athletic facilities to our check-in and orientation, all aspects of our programming are designed to inform and enable students to have a healthy, fulfilling, and safe summer.
Our location offers a relaxed and safe campus environment with easy access to Boston.

Tufts works hard to ensure the health and well-being of all of its students. Once accepted to the program, Tufts will ask all students to submit information related to their health and will collect details regarding allergies and accessibility concerns.

Emergency processes and protocol will be reviewed during orientation. For more information, please visit our Campus Safety page. To ensure the safety of our Pre-College students, we are closely monitoring the ongoing COVID public health crisis, and following local, state, and federal guidance as it pertains to our Pre-College programming. Tufts University is not only a leading institution of higher education and academic research, but it is leading the nation in terms of higher education's response to our public health crisis.
Tufts takes the safety of its students seriously. All programs are staffed with resources appropriate to care for the size and nature of the program. Tufts makes reasonable efforts to secure background checks and to provide Title IX training to every staff person responsible for students in its Pre-College Programs.
Students are required to attend all elements of the program schedule and any expected absences must be communicated to program staff in advance. Tufts takes the safety of its students very seriously. As such, our current policy for Pre-College students states that students cannot be in a lab or leave campus during their program without the supervision of a staff member or explicit parental permission received through official processes.
Some elements of our supervision plan vary depending on how the student is interacting with our campus. Below is a brief overview of where to find information about this. Check-in will begin at 9am on the first Sunday of the program. Students are welcome to arrive on campus and check in anytime on Sunday between 9am and 5pm.
During check in, room assignments will be distributed and students will have the opportunity to meet their RAs and roommates and unpack.
All details about arrival and departure travel will be communicated after you have been admitted to the program. Students arriving outside of the specified window should be in-touch with us to discuss what accommodations can be arranged. While we make reasonable efforts to accommodate students who need to arrive early or depart late, we cannot guarantee the same services will be available to students arriving or departing outside of the specified windows.
Residential Students will get the full Tufts University experience by living on-campus in one of Tufts' Undergraduate dorms! Bedrooms will be doubles on a common hall. Halls are divided by gender and age and students are grouped into smaller communities known as Resident Advisor groups. Roommates and RA groups are determined based on the pre-program housing questionnaire and taking into account age and geographic diversity.
Full bedding and towels will be provided and will be replaced weekly. Wi-Fi is available throughout campus. Resident Advisors RA will live on each hall and will work to create a strong, supportive residential community.
Info Session Zoom Recording. For over 50 years, YIRA has educated thousands of students from around the world in international relations, public speaking and leadership. YIRLI is a unique opportunity for high school students to receive exceptional instruction and join a community of scholar-leaders.

It explains why the political forms in which they are now embodied have limited credibility in all three countries, and why those forms now make such an unimpressive contribution to handling the political challenges which each now conspicuously faces.
The course will use a combination of theoretical and cutting-edge empirical research to critically examine the role of international institutions in promoting cooperation in several different areas of global politics. This course will provide an introduction to international relations and international disputes.
Students will explore the historical roots of modern day disputes in international relations, as well as systemic obstacles to dispute settlement. While the first part of the course will focus on a theoretical and historical overview, the second part of the course will focus on an on-going dispute, namely the civil war in Syria, in order to illustrate the insights from the earlier lectures on an on-going case study.
This course discusses the history, objectives, and institutional aspects trade negotiations, decision-making, and dispute settlement of GATT and the WTO. It also includes case studies and casework. There is a particular focus on the legality of measures adopted for the protection of the environment and human rights. The lecture also focuses on the more jurisprudential aspects of the WTO dispute settlement system.
It also considers trade in services, which is of increasing importance to WTO Members and which is disciplined in a manner similar to trade in goods. It turns then to the regulation of free trade agreements and customs unions and also touches on the development dimension of the WTO, a topic of increasing importance given the Doha Development Agenda currently being negotiated by WTO Members.
Foreign aid—the practice whereby rich countries provide financial assistance to poorer countries—is highly controversial. For its advocates, aid is indispensible for providing poor countries with much-needed capital and technical assistance to build proper institutions. For its critics, foreign aid is a waste of taxpayer money—if not harmful for recipient countries—because it helps prop up corrupt dictators and lessens recipient-country efforts for sustainable development.
This course provides a concise introduction into the political economy of foreign aid. It covers three principal sets of questions. This course introduces students to main International Relations theories and teaches the students how to use the theories through the current debate on rising powers.
