My son got a great education at Tufts but used to say they had the wrong kind of nerds. A lot of talking about politics and world affairs, not enough playing board games! A huge number of students major in IR often along with another major like economics. He felt IR coasted on the reputation of the Fletcher School and that the department had some pretty stupid rules - especially regarding credit for courses taken abroad that weren’t specifically Tufts programs. The Global Leadership Institute does some really interesting things - he got involve with this program that definitely took him out of the college bubble and I suspect had something to do with the fact that he’s a naval officer now. https://www.tuftsgloballeadership.org/programs/allies
