Tufts University Prison Initiative of Tisch College
In partnership with Bunker Hill Community College and Massachusetts Department of Corrections, TUPIT offers accredited college courses to incarcerated people, who can complete an associate’s degree while in prison and can transfer to a state university after completing their sentence. TUPIT also offers a 4-course college re-entry program at no cost to people who have been incarcerated through the MyTERN program. Tufts students, faculty, and staff can volunteer as MyTERN Navigators to support MyTERN students and mentors.
