Dartmouth became coeducational in 1972. Dartmouth's unique blending of university resources with a college's focus on undergraduate education offers small classes, top-flight facilities, and an outstanding faculty.
Professors here are among the leaders in their fields yet remain committed to teaching.
Students have the opportunity to take advantage of faculty accessibility throughout their Dartmouth careers. Dartmouth undergraduates participate in more than 200 student-run organizations ranging from the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra to the college's student staffed and managed radio stations and the Dartmouth Outing Club. Included are religious organizations, affinity groups, numerous publications, pre-professional societies, and political, economic, social, sports, and recreational organizations. In keeping with Dartmouth's encouragement of student-initiated projects, new organizations and programs are constantly evolving to fill special needs and kindle new enthusiasms. Many Dartmouth student organizations are housed in the recently renovated Collis Center, the hub of student activities at the college.
