The award-winning Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts (DEC) is the hub for entrepreneurial learning experiences at Tufts. We  develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset among our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and our community through our undergraduate academic program, co-curricular programs and activities, and equity-free funding through competitions, prizes, internships and awards.

Our parent organization, Tufts Gordon Institute (TGI), offers master’s programs that further develop these mindsets and skillsets in cohort-based programs with a focus on people-centered leadership.

Collectively, we help our students develop a practical, applied business acumen so they can best apply their talents in a professional setting.
