The [[Jackson College for Women]] was established in 1910 as a coordinate college adjacent to the Tufts campus. In 1980 it was integrated with the College of Liberal Arts but is still recognized in the formal name of the undergraduate arts and sciences division, the "College of Liberal Arts and Jackson College". Undergraduate women in arts and sciences continued to receive their diplomas from Jackson College until 2002.

Tufts expanded in 1933 with the opening of the [[Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]], the first graduate school of international affairs in the United States. The Fletcher School began as a joint effort between Tufts and [[Harvard University]], funded by an endowment from longtime Tufts benefactor and alumnus Austin Barclay Fletcher. Tufts assumed full administration of the Fletcher School in 1935, and strong linkages between the two schools remain.

During [[World War II]], Tufts College was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the [[V-12 Navy College Training Program]] which offered students a path to a Navy commission.<ref name="tuftsv-12">{{cite web |url=http://uss.tufts.edu/undergradEducation/opportunities/AcademicAwardsList.pdf |title=General Academic Awards |publisher=[[Medford, Massachusetts]]: Tufts University |access-date=September 26, 2011 |year=2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401071609/http://uss.tufts.edu/undergradEducation/opportunities/AcademicAwardsList.pdf |archive-date=April 1, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>[[File:Carmichael Hall, Tufts.jpg|thumb|Carmichael Hall on the Rez Quad]]

Due to travel restrictions imposed by World War II, the [[Boston Red Sox]] conducted [[spring training]] for the [[1943 Major League Baseball season|1943 Major League season]] at Tufts College.<ref name="Snyder">{{cite book|last=Snyder|first=John|title=365 Oddball Days in Red Sox History|year=2009|publisher=Clerisy Press|location=United States|isbn=978-1578603442|page=384}}</ref> In 1955, continued expansion was reflected in the change of the school's name to Tufts University,<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://dl.tufts.edu/catalog/tei/tufts:UA069.005.DO.00001/chapter/T00041|encyclopedia=Concise Encyclopedia of Tufts History|title=Tufts University, 1852|access-date=April 14, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923001532/http://dl.tufts.edu/catalog/tei/tufts:UA069.005.DO.00001/chapter/T00041|archive-date=September 23, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> though the corporate name remains as 'Trustees of Tufts College'.

The university experienced some growth during the presidency of [[Jean Mayer]] (1976–1992).<ref name="nyt_mayer">McFadden, Robert D.

''[[The New York Times]]''. January 2, 1993.</ref> Mayer established Tufts' veterinary, nutrition, and biomedical schools and acquired the Grafton and Talloires campuses, at the same time lifting the university out of its dire financial situation by increasing the size of the endowment by a factor of 15.<ref name="nyt_mayer" />

The College of Engineering added graduate study to its curriculum beginning in 1961, with master's degrees available in four departments. It added PhD programs in mechanical engineering in 1963, electrical engineering in 1964, engineering design in 1981, and civil engineering in 1985. In 1984, CEO and chairman of Analogic Corporation and NeuroLogica Corporation [[Bernard Marshall Gordon]] founded the Tufts Gordon Institute as the first educational institution created to foster entrepreneurship in the engineering fields. In 1991 the [[New England Association of Schools and Colleges]] accredited the institute to confer the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Management and in 1992 the Gordon Institute became part of the College of Engineering. In 1999, the College of Engineering became the School of Engineering, when oversight of graduate engineering programs was transferred from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. As part of the same reorganization the Faculty of Arts and Science became the Faculty of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering (AS&E).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://gordon.tufts.edu/about-us/history | title=History – Tufts University Connection – Gordon Institute | publisher=Tufts University | access-date=May 16, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160523190112/http://gordon.tufts.edu/about-us/history | archive-date=May 23, 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
