About Dartmouth

Dartmouth, founded in 1769, is the smallest Ivy League institution and the only one that calls itself a college, reflecting a steady commitment to undergraduate teaching. Its campus sits in the small town of Hanover, New Hampshire, beside the Connecticut River and surrounded by White Mountains forest that shapes Dartmouth's outdoorsy culture. The unique 'D-Plan' quarter system encourages off-campus terms abroad or in internships, and as of fall 2025 Dartmouth is need-blind for international undergraduate applicants.
