Established in 1769, Dartmouth College is the ninth-oldest higher education institution in the nation. This Ivy League research university is nationally recognized, and its Hanover campus boasts a mix of old and new buildings, nine libraries, and athletics facilities. Dartmouth offers rigorous undergraduate academics through dozens of departments and interdisciplinary programs in the arts and sciences, medicine, engineering, and business. Students are free to explore their interests by designing special programs, engaging in double majors, and participating in research with faculty mentors. A year-round calendar of 10-week terms allows Dartmouth students to engage on or off campus, taking time for internships, work, and/or service opportunities as desired. The university also offers a variety of graduate and professional programs. Undergraduate applicants must provide two teacher evaluations, a counselor evaluation, high school transcripts, ACT or SAT scores, a writing supplement, and an application fee or waiver request.
