Domestic Study Program

3 Programs

The principle objective of Domestic Study Programs (DSP) is an in-depth experience of the life and culture of the domestic locale through substantive courses and meaningful engagement with the local people and resources. These programs offer undergraduate students opportunities to study other cultures and disciplines in depth as well as to gain new perspectives on our society. Domestic Study Programs are conducted primarily in the English language. These programs are designed to take advantage of resources unique to the off campus location in the United States.

Exchange Program

32 Programs

Dartmouth has exchange programs with other educational institutions, both in the United States and in other countries. These are considered Dartmouth-sponsored programs. Students apply for exchange programs through the Frank J. Guarini Institute for International Education. Undergraduate students participating on exchange programs are directly enrolled at the partner institution, enabling them to have a university experience very similar to that of a student of the host institution. If accepted into a program, students then apply to transfer specific courses to Dartmouth through the Dartmouth Registrar’s Office.

Fall Term +

2 Programs

These programs are distinguished by their interdisciplinary approach and highlight important themes in a particular region. They take place during the 3-week winter interim period in the fall term. These programs require that students be in residence in Hanover during the fall term.

Foreign Study Program

27 Programs

The principle objective of Foreign Study Programs (FSP) is an in-depth experience of the life and culture of the host country through substantive courses and meaningful engagement with the local people and resources. Like their language-based counterparts, these programs offer undergraduate students opportunities to study other cultures and disciplines in depth as well as to gain new perspectives on our society. FSP’s in the language departments offer advanced study of the country's language, literature and civilization and are designed for students that have advanced language skills as compared to an LSA program. A wide array of FSP’s are conducted primarily in the English language. These programs are designed to take advantage of resources unique to the host country.

Language Study Abroad

4 Programs

Dartmouth's Language Study Abroad (LSA) and Advanced Language Study Abroad (LSA+) programs have been developed in response to the College's commitment of understanding, and communicating with, people of other cultures. To this end, Dartmouth maintains programs in a number of countries. Undergraduate students live with local families on most LSA and LSA+ programs. Life with local families gives students a personal context through which they gain access to the culture as a whole. Studying the language, literature and civilization gives them an intellectual grasp of historical and contemporary cultural patterns.

Language Study Abroad (LSA+)

9 Programs

The LSA+ is a program designed for students who have satisfied the language requirement and are prepared for a more advanced language study abroad experience. Undergraduate students live with local families on most LSA and LSA+ programs. Life with local families gives students a personal context through which they gain access to the culture as a whole. Studying the language, literature and civilization gives them an intellectual grasp of historical and contemporary cultural patterns.

“Education is the most important word in our language, in any language,” said Congressman Guarini. “It’s how we create leaders, grow our economy, and learn about other people, which nurtures peace. Education is the key to a better world.”

"Though visits to famous national monuments and landmarks rightfully garner much excitement, I will treasure most the surreal experience of exploring the city's "backyard" with my companions."

Passing through a rural town in Western China, I was able to speak with this woman about her craft, photographing her in her peaceful happiness. The locals I met, like this woman, truly made my experience memorable.
