Dartmouth students can take advantage of numerous programs that the Rockefeller Center offers, including:
Public Policy Minor
The Public Policy Minor provides a variety of perspectives on policy questions, such as how policy is defined and affected by changes in values, institutions, technology or markets. In choosing courses for the minor, students identify a policy track, customizing the focus of the minor. Possible policy tracks include: environment, law, education, health, identity, urban issues, or a policy track of the students' own design. Click here for more information.

Dartmouth-Oxford Exchange
The Dartmouth/Oxford Exchange Program provides an opportunity for up to four (4) Dartmouth undergraduates per term (fall, winter, and spring) to enroll in Oxford's Keble College. As fully-integrated members of the Oxford community, students live on campus, participate in co-curricular and social activities, and take pre-approved political economy courses in the British tutorial system that count toward their major. More information can be found here.

Funding Opportunities
Dartmouth undergraduates have access to a variety of Rockefeller Center grants. We can help defray expenses associated with an unpaid leave-term public affairs internship or public policy research project. We can also provide up to 50% of the cost of a public affairs program for college-recognized student organizations. Check it out!

First-Year Initiative
The Rockefeller Center has launched a program to engage first-year students in public policy. Students who complete the introductory policy-making course and a research methods course will be eligible for selective internships in Washington, DC, during the summer following their first year on campus. The Rockefeller Center will provide a special training as well as funding for these interns. We believe these students will become core members of the Rocky community on campus and future leaders in the public realm after they leave Dartmouth. Find more information about the First-Year Initiative here.

Civic Skills Training
This training provides students with the information and skills they need to excel in their internships and beyond. An expense-paid, 5-day intensive workshop designed specifically for students entering internships in the public sector, Civic Skills Training takes place in Washington, DC, and capitalizes on the wealth of resources available in our nation's capital. Students learn about organizational networks, power structures, resource mobilization, public speaking, project management, and much, much more!

Policy Research Shop
The Policy Research Shop aims to give students an inside perspective on the policy-making process by providing them opportunities to research topics critical to the legislatures of New Hampshire and Vermont. Each term students are selected and guided by a Research Associate on the focus, direction, development, and analysis of professional public policy research on issues confronting the two legislatures. In-depth research during the fall term is followed by response research while the legislatures are in session during the winter and spring.
