The award-winning Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts (DEC) is where entrepreneurial leaders bring ideas to life at Tufts. We develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset among our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and our community through our undergraduate academic program, hands-on learning experiences, and equity-free funding through competitions, prizes, internships and awards.

As part of Tufts Gordon Institute, students access a large portfolio of courses and co-curricular experiences in entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership and management, tied together with profound purpose.

Together, we’re building an ecosystem where entrepreneurial thinking meets applied research meets leadership development. Every major, every background, every idea. They all belong here.
