About the School

From its founding, Dartmouth has pioneered and advanced a world-class education. The liberal arts curriculum has been shaped and elevated by a renowned faculty that is passionate about the scholar-teacher model, collaborating with colleagues and students to create cutting-edge knowledge, drive discovery, and spark creativity. Student growth flows from classrooms, labs, and studios; to residences, playing fields, and woods and waters; and beyond, to locations around the world—a holistic experience guided by a professional staff dedicated to building community and giving every student access to all that Dartmouth has to offer.  

The School of the Arts and Sciences at Dartmouth provides a distinctive home for this endeavor, strengthening our undying commitment to the fusion of liberal arts education in a residential college setting, with the benefits and breakthroughs that emerge from a world-class research institution. As conceived by Arts and Sciences faculty and staff, the School promotes collaboration across traditional boundaries, allowing all members of the Arts and Sciences community to do their best work. This dynamic platform supports excellence and innovation, acting nimbly to keep Dartmouth at the forefront of an increasingly complex world, where needs and opportunities grow every day.
