The Dartmouth Plan provides the flexibility to participate in up to 3 off campus programs in up to three different countries. Whether the ultimate goal is to obtain fluency in a language or to study the culture, history, and current events of a country first-hand, Dartmouth’s abundant foreign study programs may be used to supplement coursework completed on-campus.
The following programs are official Dartmouth programs. The Language Study Abroad Programs and the Foreign Study Programs are available only to Dartmouth students and are taught by Dartmouth faculty members. Study abroad is hassle-free at Dartmouth. Students do not have to worry about transferring credits; the coursework is recorded directly onto the student’s transcript. In addition, the tuition is the same whether a student studies in Hanover or abroad on a Dartmouth program, and financial aid transfers to these programs.
Students taking intermediate and upper-level courses in a department often chose to attend Foreign Study Programs. Foreign Study Programs focus on the history, culture, and current events of a specific country and take advantage of specific resources unique to the host country. The curriculum includes three classes offered by Dartmouth faculty within a specific department; however, students do not need to major in the sponsoring department in order to attend the Foreign Study Program. As these are intermediate and upper-level courses, Foreign Study Programs often have prerequisite courses.

Students interested in becoming fluent in a foreign language often chose to pursue a Language Study Abroad Program (LSA). On a Dartmouth LSA, students live with host families and participate in intense study of the language, history, and literature, with the ultimate goal of fluency. Students receive three course credits from the sponsoring department.
In order to attend a Dartmouth LSA, a student must complete two introductory-level language courses. Students often receive exemption from this requirement by taking placement tests the first week of orientation or through the SAT II language tests.
