Education and Academic Support: A Dartmouth education is unlike any other. Through person-to-person teaching and opportunities to create and apply knowledge on campus and across the globe, we instill a love of learning and a passion for success. We educate global citizens, gifted writers and artists, wise business leaders, thoughtful doctors, and compassionate engineers. Our faculty are deeply invested in nurturing creativity as well as critical thinking. Our students can explore the cultural underpinnings and economic impacts of great works while creating their own masterpieces, all with the guidance and support of world-class masters of their crafts. Academics at Dartmouth are innovative, interdisciplinary, international, and individualized for each student. Each student's experience is distinguished by breadth, depth, and personal connections with top faculty. The institution comprises the Faculty of the Arts & Sciences, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, and three professional schools: the Thayer School of Engineering, the Tuck School of Business, and the Geisel School of Medicine. Dartmouth's approximately 950-person faculty teaches and guides approximately 6,700 undergraduate and graduate students. Dartmouth's library system directly supports the research and teaching mission of Dartmouth College, as well as the life-long learning needs of the Dartmouth community, by providing access to multiple types of resources, including approximately 2.2 million printed volumes, 54,000 microform volumes, 89,000 other physical formats, 421,000 network resources and 2.1 million electronic books. State-of-the-art computing resources are available to faculty and students to foster innovation and excellence in research and in the curriculum.

Research & Research Support: At Dartmouth, teaching and research are inextricably linked. Dartmouth offers undergraduate students a rigorous curriculum at the forefront of higher education and Dartmouth faculty pursue research at the highest levels of their disciplines. Students conduct independent study through one-on-one supervision with a faculty member or work as a member of a research group in state-of-the-art facilities. Dartmouth is home to world-class scholars in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, the Thayer School of Engineering, the Tuck School of Business, and the Geisel School of Medicine-which has strong ties to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic and the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. Our faculty, along with students, produce high-impact research that advances the quest for cures and treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. They generate discoveries in bio-medical engineering and artificial intelligence, among many other issues central to our time. The collaborative, high-impact solution of real-world problems is integral to our teacher-scholar model, enabling students' hands-on engagement in the joys and challenges of discovery and creation. In addition, Dartmouth has more than 50 wide-ranging centers and institutes, hubs for innovation and excellence across the arts and sciences, that connect our faculty and students to each other in multidisciplinary ways with real-world impacts. During fiscal 2023, faculty and others engaged in sponsored activity received approximately $206 million in awards from external funding agencies.

Campus Life: Our close-knit community is a distinctive and enduring feature of the Dartmouth experience. For students, the process of joining and adapting to a new community can be as educationally significant as their academic work. For this reason, Dartmouth invests resources in creating a community that is both stimulating and nurturing. Approximately 90% of Dartmouth undergraduates lived on campus and Dartmouth's diverse dining facilities are an important part of campus life. Athletics at Dartmouth compliment the overall academic and intellectual growth of Dartmouth students, with more than 75% of undergraduates participating in at least one of the 35 varsity teams, 33 club sports teams and several intramural leagues. In addition, facilities such as Dartmouth Skiway and Morton Farm provide an opportunity for recreation and learning beyond the classroom. There are also approximately 380 graduate and undergraduate student groups which allow students to explore interests in diverse areas, including the arts, academics, activism, culture, politics, sustainability, and others.
