About Dartmouth

Founded in 1769, Dartmouth is a member of the Ivy League and consistently ranks among the world’s greatest academic institutions. Dartmouth has forged a singular identity for combining its deep commitment to outstanding undergraduate liberal arts and graduate education with distinguished research and scholarship in the Arts & Sciences and its three leading professional graduate schools—the Geisel School of Medicine, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business.

Dartmouth alumni, faculty, students, and staff share a passion for this institution that is unparalleled. People here forge close, long-lasting connections and foster collaboration and camaraderie through academics and intense involvement in service, athletics, and community activities.
