💁♀️ Happy Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society and has been celebrated in the United States during the month of March since 1987. In observance of the month, the Tufts Employer Relations team wanted to share resources on ways to incorporate the month into office environments and provide additional information on gender equality in the workplace.

Mathematics Post-Baccalaureate Certificate – Online Summer Term Intensive Option
Fact: Creative problem-solvers earn higher wages and stay employed when layoffs and budget cuts occur.
Why? Because people with higher-level math skills are equipped with vital analytical and computational expertise that can be applied immediately across many disciplines.
Earn your mathematics post-bac certificate this summer in an accelerated online format.
The flexible program includes your choice of four mathematics courses selected from the following:
• Bridge to Higher Mathematics (Math 65 – offered Summer 1 & Summer 2)

• Mathematics Modeling & Computation (Math 87 – offered Summer 1)
• Probability (Math 165 – offered Summer 1)
• Mathematical Aspects of Data Analysis (Math 123 – offered Summer 2)
• Real Analysis I (Math 135 – offered Summer 2)
In this summer intensive, two online courses are taken in the Summer 1 Session, and two courses are taken online in the Summer 2 Session. Students also have the option to start the program online in a Summer Session and complete the certificate in the Fall semester. If you are inspired to create, interpret, and apply data in valuable ways, then this flexible program is right for you.
Apply by May 1. On the application, please apply for Fall 2024 and indicate your interest in the Summer Intensive.
If your HR department would like to discuss this and other programs with Tufts, please contact Sarah Herchel, Associate Dean, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Individual employees interested in the program should contact Graduate Admissions at gradadmissions@tufts.edu.
