		Research Opportunities Research plays a prominent role in the life of a typical arts and sciences graduate student. Working closely with Tufts faculty, graduate students research everything from honeybees and paper wasps to the learning disabilities of children in the classrooms of Greece. Students don scuba gear to study coral reefs in the Caribbean, participate in archaeological digs in Europe, visit the plains of Kenya to study zebras, or wade through the lakes and ponds of Massachusetts to explore the impact of pollution.
