Background
Dartmouth
College—Tuck
School of Business
Tuck School of Business, part of the prestigious Dartmouth College, is the oldest graduate school of business in the world (founded in 1900).
It offers only one degree programme, the full-time MBA, and claims this gives it added focus. The school is noted for general management,
teamwork, close student–faculty relations and the Tuck experience of a small residential programme in a beautiful, if slightly remote, semi-rural
setting. Almost all work is done in assigned teams and the ability to succeed in collaborative working is essential.
Facilities
The school consists of six interconnected buildings combining traditional Georgian and modern architecture on a 13-acre site on the western
edge of the Dartmouth campus. Paul Danos, only the ninth dean in the school’s long history, has invested heavily in faculty hiring, technology and
building, and the facilities are excellent. Most first-year students live on campus, further heightening the collegiate atmosphere. Hanover is a tiny
college town, about two hours’ drive from Boston in New Hampshire.

Student/alumni quotes
“Tuck is somewhat self-selecting—you have to want an
intense experience in which you will know all the faculty and
fellow students on a first name basis—but I wouldn’t want
it any other way.”
“The location makes it more difficult to travel to cities for
interviews. But the school makes up for this by bringing in
people we’re interested in and the student culture wouldn’t be
as strong if we were in a city.”
(Figures in brackets represent rank)
The first year of Tuck’s two-year full-time programme concentrates on a lengthy 14-course core plus a team project and one elective. The
emphasis is on leadership, and leadership development courses run throughout the first year. Most first-year work is carried out in four- or fiveperson study groups. Second-year students study 12 electives and undertake an optional international field project. There is no requirement to
select a major but students are free to group electives if they wish.
