The CTML will help you develop the confidence to take the next step in your management and leadership career in the technology sector.

Why have you selected this degree program? Please note: Tufts Gordon Institute's personal statement length requirements differ from those noted on the online Tufts Graduate School application.

Official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo test scores (if applicable)
- A minimum score of 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL, with subscores of 25 on each of the four components (reading, writing, listening, speaking) is generally considered evidence of sufficient English language ability for graduate study at Tufts Gordon Institute. Minimum equivalent scores of 7 on the IELTS (with subscores of 7) and 130 on the Duolingo are also considered indication of sufficient ability.
- We suggest that you take the required standardized test at least one month prior to the admissions deadline; however, we can be flexible on a case-by-case basis.
Optional Short Essay: (please include at the bottom of your personal statement): If you would like, you may also submit an optional short essay (200-250 words) in which you respond to one of three prompts below. This essay is not required and should be completed only if you feel it will provide the admissions committee with a more complete picture of who you are. Choose from one of the three questions:
- Tell us about a time when you had to work on a team. What lessons did you learn from the highlights and/or challenges of that experience?
- Tell us about your most meaningful leadership experience. What did you find to be your strengths as a leader as well as other aspects of leadership that you would like to further develop?
- Tell us about a time when you identified an opportunity for improvement within your department/company/organization and how were able to successfully implement this change.
