THAYER SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

'Thayer School of Engineering' at Dartmouth College was founded in 1867 by General Sylvanus Thayer, widely known as the "father of the U.S. Military Academy." Thayer School offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering sciences. The undergraduate Department of Engineering Sciences is unified with the professional school without departmental divisions. Most engineering schools advocate interdisciplinary thinking while simultaneously requiring a commitment to a specific discipline. Climb into the box first, they say, then think outside it. For Dartmouth engineers, ''the box does not exist''.
Having only one department brings together faculty with expertise in a range of engineering and science disciplines. Students are mentored by teachers who are not only experts in one or more fields but also generalists who can envision solutions that cut across traditional disciplines.
The Dartmouth engineer is a versatile thinker who can define a problem, place it within the broad social and economic contexts, and articulate a clear vision for the solution. Because their skills can be adapted across disciplines, Dartmouth engineers can more easily stay at the forefront as technology advances.

Thayer School is small by intent and design, enabling a strong sense of community. Being small and agile also facilitates quick response to new technological developments as well as collaboration with partner institutions such as Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
In addition to an A.B. in engineering sciences, students can also obtain a professional accredited bachelor of engineering (B.E.) degree. At the graduate level it offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees as well as a Master of Engineering Management degree in collaboration with Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business.
