With over $200 million invested annually in grant-funded research, world-class laboratory facilities and strong support among the faculty for student research, the opportunity to participate in faculty research proves to be an invaluable compliment to classroom learning for many Dartmouth students. Because Dartmouth's graduate student population is relatively small, Dartmouth undergraduates enjoy ready access to funding for research and in many cases serve as co-authors on faculty publications.
In addition to participating in faculty-led research, many students pursue their own endeavors, often with funding from their department, the College or outside agencies. Dartmouth students also pursue more than 1,000 independent studies for academic course credit during each academic year. Through this close collaboration with faculty mentors, many students find that their professors transcend the role of "instructor" and become colleagues and close friends.
