COVID-19 Updates:
In accordance with Dartmouth's guidelines, our plan for the fall and winter at The Dartmouth Institute is to hold classes both in-person and remotely for our one-year, on-campus programs. We are working hard to ensure that all protocols will be in place for protecting our community’s health while carefully managing our in-person interactions. We want students to have the opportunity to experience Hanover and the Dartmouth campus if they would like to be here in person, while also giving students the option to continue with remote learning if that is more preferable. Please review our COVID-19 updates page for more information.
