Founded in 1769, Dartmouth is one of the oldest and most respected
institutions of higher learning in the United States. A member of the
Ivy League, Dartmouth has a long history of dedication to the highest
educational ideals. With its world-class faculty and facilities, and
nationally and internationally renowned graduate programs in
engineering, business, medicine and the arts & sciences, the school
has resources that very few universities can match. In addition, by
maintaining a highly flexible quarter-system calendar, and allowing only
faculty to teach its undergraduate courses, Dartmouth assures that
students have complete and timely access to all that the institution has
to offer. Faculty: The professors at Dartmouth are among the leaders in
their fields, yet they remain fully committed to teaching. Even the
most senior professors teach first-year courses. Recipients of more than
$199 million in annual research grants and consistently ranked among
the most respected teachers in American higher education, Dartmouth
professors are true exemplars of the phrase teacher-scholar. Through
course-related discussions, research collaborations, and casual
conversation, students get to know their professors as instructors,
mentors, colleagues, and friends. Undergraduate Students: Dartmouth
students come from 50 states and more than 79 countries. The population
is divided almost evenly between men and women. More than a third of the
students identify themselves as students of color (34%) or non-US
citizens (9%). Almost half (47%)of the students receive some form of
need-based financial assistance to cover the cost of their education.
Dartmouth disburses more than $91 million in need-based aid each year.
Prior to Dartmouth, 55% of the students attended public secondary
schools and 45% attended private or parochial schools. Once on campus,
they take full advantage of the academic resources Dartmouth has to
offer, and get involved in the more than 300 officially recognized
organizations.
