Great Issues Scholars participate in a year-long series of highly interactive events aimed at enhancing their understanding of the world and current international events. Scholars work and learn together while they gather for small-group events around specific themes such as global health, climate change, gender in politics, international development, and regional security challenges. The program is a unique opportunity to connect with faculty, visiting experts, and fellow students around complex global issues.

The Stefansson Fellowship supports undergraduate and graduate research projects that could be enhanced by travel to a Northern location or glacier environment. We also support research in collaboration with Dartmouth faculty or an Arctic research center in the US or elsewhere. A Stefansson Fellowship it intended to go beyond the limits of library research and provides younger scholars with field experience.

Consistently, over 55 percent of Dartmouth undergraduate students participate on one or more academic off-campus programs before they graduate. Students returning to campus after participating in a program often speak of experiences that were academically and culturally rich as well as life changing. A distinguishing feature of Dartmouth’s program model is strong involvement by departments and interested faculty, which leads to the development of meaningful relationships between undergraduate students and faculty directors/mentors, and it ensures that off-campus program experiences are tightly integrated into the on-campus curriculum. Dartmouth offers a variety of opportunities for undergraduate students to study off-campus and earn credit toward their degree. The four main categories of opportunities for off-campus study are Dartmouth Language Study Abroad (LSA and LSA+), Dartmouth Foreign Study Programs (FSP), Dartmouth Exchange Programs, and Transfer Credit from another four-year, degree-granting, academic institution unaffiliated with Dartmouth College.
