Graduate Education for the Future
Update
- The Graduate Education for the Future working group hosted consultants from the Council of Graduate Schools (Duke, MIT, and Brown) for an external review of Dartmouth's graduate programs.
- An important part of this working group's outreach was with graduate students. All graduate students were invited to an open forum and the committee has worked closely with the Graduate Student Council.
- Peer institutional research has been gathered and reviewed.
Overall Approach
Graduate education at Dartmouth has a mission to educate future leaders and create new knowledge while promoting premier scholarship throughout the Dartmouth community. This is achieved through recruiting highly qualified, motivated and diverse students, training them in research at the frontiers of knowledge and ensuring that they will excel in their chosen careers. The growth in research-based graduate programs has been considerable in the past 25 years, with sponsored research revenues growing 10 fold in this time, and graduate enrollment growing 3 fold. There are now currently 707 PhD/MA/MS/MALS/MPH students enrolled in 18 graduate programs. It is imperative that Dartmouth take stock of the current status quo, comparisons to peer-institutions, and ongoing and future areas of excellence at Dartmouth, which ultimately shape our graduate programs.
Goals
- To review existing programs, structures, governance, finances and the known best-practices in graduate education nationally.
- To chart a path forward for Dartmouth Graduate Education, focusing on aspirations of the campus, areas of research excellence, areas of national need in graduate education, and inter-campus structures which maximize synergy across One Dartmouth.
