Research Centers

Dartmouth has more than 70 centers, institutes, research groups, and laboratories in areas ranging from medicine to social policy, from engineering to business. Many of these are interdisciplinary and join faculty and students from across the College to work on complex issues. Others, such as the Institute for Lifelong Education at Dartmouth, offer community members an opportunity to engage in the educational dialogue at the College, learn foreign languages, or attend public lectures, among other options.
