About Dartmouth

Welcome to Dartmouth, a private, four-year liberal arts institution that has been at the forefront of American higher education since 1769. A member of the Ivy League, Dartmouth is a superb undergraduate residential college with the intellectual character of a university, featuring thriving research and first-rate graduate and professional programs. This unique combination creates a highly personal learning environment for our exceptional students and faculty.

The quality of the undergraduate experience is marked by close student-faculty interaction, opportunities for independent research, a broad range of off-campus programs, and a diverse student body. Graduate programs include the study of global markets at the Tuck School of Business, 19 graduate programs in the Arts and Sciences, the Dartmouth Medical School, and the Thayer School of Engineering. Through this wide range of programs, Dartmouth continues to be a leader in higher education as we strive to understand the world in which we live.

Come explore the work in progress that is Dartmouth, as it moves confidently into the future. I hope you will share our excitement and pride as we continue to expand the frontiers of knowledge and define liberal learning.

- James Wright, President
