Dartmouth's Graduate Community

About

There are over 1,000 graduate students at Dartmouth in 17 Doctoral Programs and 10 Master's Degree Programs in the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, as well as interdisciplinary programs and professional schools. Joint degree programs offer MCB students the opportunity to combine their scientific education with degrees in business, medicine, and more. Dartmouth's graduate alumni now total over 4,000 individuals.

MCB students interact with the larger graduate community in both academic and social settings. With highly collaborative research labs, students often interact across departments and programs. The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is a student-run body dedicated to improving the quality of life for gradaute students. The GSC organizes a wide range of events including snow sculpture contests, dances, and movie nights (just to name a few) and supports graduate student clubs.
