Applicants to the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program are required to
have a Bachelor's degree. Because of the strong academic program at Dartmouth,
a student's motivation, maturity and ability to do intensive graduate work are
central to acceptance. For candidates who have been out of college for a
significant period of time, or who feel that their undergraduate performance
does not accurately reflect their academic ability, it is useful to submit some
evidence of your current academic aptitude. Transcripts of more recent
coursework will be evaluated carefully.
The program welcomes applications from international candidates with
demonstrated proficiency in English. Because facility in written and spoken
English is of vital importance in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies
Program, all applicants for whom English is not their native language or who
have not attended an English-speaking undergraduate institution must take the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
The Admissions evaluation emphasizes the candidate's articulation of his or
her interests, the suitability of our curriculum to those interests, and the
individual's ability to take initiative in designing a course of study. We look
at your record of achievement, your goals for the future, and how the M.A.L.S.
Program at Dartmouth College will help you bridge them. Spend time
familiarizing yourself with our courses, our requirements, our students, and
our enrollment options, so that you can best articulate what this program
offers you, and what you would contribute to the MALS community.
