them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership, through a
faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge.
Our Core Values
Dartmouth expects academic excellence and
encourages independence of thought within a culture of collaboration.
Dartmouth faculty are passionate about
teaching our students and are at the forefront of their scholarly or creative
work.
Dartmouth embraces diversity with the
knowledge that it significantly enhances the quality of a Dartmouth
education.
Dartmouth recruits and admits outstanding
students from all backgrounds, regardless of their financial means.
Dartmouth fosters lasting bonds among faculty,
staff, and students, which encourage a culture of integrity, self-reliance, and
collegiality and instill a sense of responsibility for each
other and for the broader world.
Dartmouth supports the vigorous and open
debate of ideas within a community marked by mutual respect.
Our Legacy
Since its founding in 1769 to educate Native students, English youth,
and others, Dartmouth has provided an intimate and inspirational setting where
talented faculty, students, and staff - diverse in background but united in
purpose - contribute to the strength of an exciting academic community that
cuts easily across disciplines.
Dartmouth is committed to providing the best undergraduate liberal arts
experience and to providing outstanding graduate programs in the Dartmouth
Medical School (founded 1797), the Thayer School of Engineering (1867), the
Tuck School of Business (1900), and the graduate programs in the Arts and
Sciences. Together they constitute an exceptional and rich learning
environment. Dartmouth faculty and student research contributes substantially
to the expansion of human understanding.
The College provides a comprehensive out-of-classroom experience, including
service opportunities, engagement in the arts, and competitive athletic,
recreational, and outdoor programs. Pioneering programs in computation and
international education are hallmarks of the College. Dartmouth graduates are
marked by an understanding of the importance of teamwork, a capacity for
leadership, and their keen enjoyment of a vibrant community. Their loyalty to
Dartmouth and to each other is legendary and is a sustaining quality of the
College.
