FACTS AND FIGURES

BAKALA GIFT

Tuck this year announced the largest gift commitment in its history—a donation from the Bakala Foundation USA in support of TuckGO, Tuck’s global learning program. The Bakala Foundation USA is the American family foundation of Michaela and Zdenek Bakala T’89, a Czech-born investor, philanthropist, and member of Tuck’s Board of Advisors. The gift consists of a foundational investment to endow TuckGO—the portfolio of for-credit immersive educational experiences that comprise Tuck’s global learning requirement—and creates the Bakala Global Suite, the future home to the TuckGO offices and a hub of student, faculty, and staff collaboration. Their gift ensures that TuckGO, already a vibrant and innovative part of learning at Tuck, will connect students even more to the world’s diversity, dynamism, and innovation.

BETTER THE WORLD OF BUSINESS

At Tuck, we aspire to create, teach, and apply path-breaking ideas that, through management and leadership, better the world of business. We achieve this through a distinctly immersive and collaborative learning community that places students at the center of discovery and leads to the creation of wisdom and of wise leaders motivated to improve business and the broader world.

The orientation to both do well and do good is one of the most enduring aspects of a Tuck education. As the global economy continues to become more dynamic and diverse, the call for wise, values-driven leaders—the kind of leaders Tuck creates—will continue to grow louder.

What will not change, however, are the beliefs that sustain it: in reaching beyond oneself in a supportive community grounded in our core values to be personal, connected, and transformative, and in bringing together talented students and renowned scholar-educators to enable learning of the highest quality.

CENTERS AT TUCK

Center for Entrepreneurship

Tuck’s Center for Entrepreneurship takes a holistic approach embracing all students at any stage or interest level. Through experiential learning students can implement entrepreneurial thinking for any venture wherever they may reside. Whether a builder or a starter, students engage in Center courses and programming in a customized pathway ideal for their journey.

Center for Private Equity and Venture Capital

The Center for Private Equity and Venture Capital helps connect students with Tuck alumni and professionals from the PE and VC fields leading to meaningful experiences and creating lasting impact. For those interested in private equity and venture capital, students at the Tuck School of Business can individualize their program of study and choose from elective courses exploring the themes of private equity and venture capital to experiential learning opportunities. Students can meet and engage with visiting business leaders from the PE and VC industries and get advice and insights from practitioners in PE/VC career advising lunches.

Center for Health Care

With a view of health care being everyone’s business, the Tuck Center for Health Care welcomes all students and the Tuck community to participate in learning about the critical issues facing the health care sector. Students can engage with the Center in many ways: participate in lunchtime roundtable discussions and office hours with visiting executives and alumni; attend health care programs and special events; join the Health Care Club and attend the trek in the fall term; or take health care classes.

Additional centers are the Revers Center for Energy, the Center for Business, Government & Society, and the Center for Digital Strategies.

LIFE IN HANOVER AND THE UPPER VALLEY

Hanover combines the scale and tradition of a New England town with the resources of an Ivy League school.

There is a cosmopolitan mix of cultures here, with people drawn to Dartmouth College, major teaching hospitals, and a burgeoning high-tech sector with global connections. Hanover is frequently judged one of the best places to live in the United States.

The surrounding area—known as the Upper Valley for its location on the Connecticut River—is at the heart of a region of spectacular natural beauty and extensive cultural resources. It offers year-round recreational opportunities: the best skiing in the eastern United States, easy access to Atlantic Ocean beaches, and the sophistication of Boston, Montreal, and New York all within a few hours of campus.

HOUSING

The Term Exchange Ambassadors assist exchange students by providing various resources to help in finding housing. Students are connected with the ambassadors approximately three months before the start of the term.

The towns surrounding Dartmouth offer many housing options. In New Hampshire, students tend to live in Hanover, Lebanon, West Lebanon, or Lyme. In Vermont, Norwich, Wilder, and White River Junction are popular locations. Advance Transit provides a free public bus service between the Dartmouth campus and nearby communities during the weekday.

BYRNE DINING & JOE’S COFFEE

Students take advantage of the on-campus coffee shop, Joe’s Coffee, as well as Byrne Dining and the Pepsi Co. Dining Hall. A wide variety of food options, including vegetarian, vegan, and locally sourced, are available throughout the day.

GYM FACILITIES

Students have access to two gym facilities: a smaller gym located within the Tuck community and a larger one on the Dartmouth campus.

STUDENT VISAS

Admitted students to Tuck Exchange who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States will need to obtain a student visa in conjunction with the Dartmouth College Office of Visa and Immigration Services (OVIS). Dartmouth College will impose a fee to help offset costs generated by the visa sponsorship process and the support services offered to international students. This fee for 2019-2020 was $98.00.

HEALTH INSURANCE & MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS

Dartmouth College requires all students to have health insurance coverage for the term they are attending the school. Students will be enrolled in Dartmouth health insurance for the term unless they have demonstrated through a waiver process that they have comparable coverage. The cost for health insurance for 2019-2020 was $745.

ACADEMIC FEES

Dartmouth College requires all students to pay necessary course fees. These fees cover the cost of copyrights, printing, IT, and student activities. For the 2019-2020 year, these fees were $910.
