Collaborations

From its earliest inception, the Experimental College has emphasized creative collaboration between students and faculty across disciplines to shape new courses and programs.

The ExCollege was instrumental in establishing TUTV and many film-related courses and opportunities. The popularity of these courses led directly to establishing the Film and Media Studies program.

In 2025, several new collaborations were launched, the Special Collections department developed two new courses for students, Parchment to Print: Special Collections Workshop, and Medieval Books with Tisch Special Collections. The ExCollege is also collaborating with the Tufts IDEA Lab with the course Leading Interdisciplinary Innovation: Tools & Tactics for IDEA Lab Project Leads.

In addition, the ExCollege regularly offers courses in conjunction with the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life, and the Writing Fellows Program. 

The ExCollege also organizes a range of programs, forums, speakers, and independent study opportunities which engage students and faculty with current issues. We are always open to new partnerships that will enrich the Tufts community.
