Chase's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Marine PolicyAs someone who did not know the ins and outs of marine policy, I loved learning about aspects of the blue economy. This class encourages us to be aware of the human aspect of marine problems regarding coastal erosion, pollution, and climate change. Professor Webster is the coolest!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: From Beethoven to Now (Modern Classical Music)I could not recommend this class enough to anyone who goes to this school! Professor Beaudoin has truly influenced me as both a musician and a student. We learn the music from the 1800's to present day including famous composers like Tchaikovsky, but also music by Beyonce and even the music of Dartmouth's professors. This is much more than a music history class. It is a class about music, our lives, and exploring the concept of sonder through musical lens.
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Programming for Interactive Audio-Visual ArtsIf you're scared of coding or have a love for music, this is the class for you. This computer science class is cross-listed with music to teach students how to code using a language called processing to learn the basic principles of design through coding. We created several projects throughout the term, but Professor Casey really taught me that there is more to music than I think. For my final, I created an interactive keyboard which created a visual effect for each key that created music which made it a musical instrument! Genuinely such an amazing and fun class that I think people should consider.
SummerRome, Italy
Favorite Class: Reading RomeAlthough this class is only offered during the F.I.R.E. study abroad program, it was such an amazing class. I absolutely adored having Professor Canepa teach us about Italy from its politics, music, food, and much much more. This class taught me hands on what Italian culture is through visits to famous landmarks, food tastings, or tours of Italian regions. If you don't want to study abroad, I suggest taking a class with Professor Canepa because she truly is one of my favorite professors I have had yet.

FallHanover, New Hampshire
I was on an off term, but decided to live on campus to join a fraternity and work in town. I took the time to write music for one of my friend's short films and learned a lot about the film music industry.
WinterHanover, New Hampshire
Favorite Class: Creative Music Theory IIDr. Moseley has been one of my most favorite professors by far. I have loved taking this class to divulge into my musical passion through creating music and learning about ways to create music. If you are interested in taking a music class, I highly recommend Dr. Moseley if you find a class with him that interests you!
SpringVienna, Austria
Favorite Class: Special Studies Music Abroad FSPI took this class with composer Miguel Kertsman who was incredibly knowledgeable in every type of compositional technique that I wanted. I study electronic music composition with him to understand music digital signal processing better.
Know Your Academic Resources
To all prospective students who may be reading this, deciding on where to apply to college and where to commit is one of the most difficult decisions. I highly recommend you to take a step back to look at the amenities your university would provide.
Financial Aid Studying Abroad - Rome
Are you scared to study abroad because of finances? Well, with Dartmouth you don't have to be! During my study abroad in Rome, the Financial Aid office helped me talk about finances abroad!
My First Off-Term
Take time for yourself. We are always so busy trying to achieve great things, but sometimes to simplicity of life is beautiful too.
An Eventful End to 22S
Well, it is that time of the term again where everyone hides in the library for a few day, but I first had an amazing weekend to celebrate this term before I get started on my finals!
Green Lights, Green Places, and Green Key
The event of the year has finally happened: Green Key! As sad as I am to not be on campus for the next Green Key, I am incredibly excited to have two more of them!
Friday Fun at Dartmouth
Honestly, there is no such thing as a normal Friday at Dartmouth, and I just had my most spontaneous and memorable day during my time at Dartmouth so far.
Branching Out Academically
When I applied to college, I was dead set on studying only music and neuroscience. However, I now say go take that course that has nothing to do with your major and maybe find a new passion.
Bringing Home to Dartmouth
So you decided to move 1,000+ miles away from where you were born and raised your entire life? Me too.
Are You Visiting Dartmouth?
So you've decided to visit Dartmouth? I mean it definitely feels quite out of the way, but definitely is totally worth it!
Becoming a Music Major
Even though there is still plenty of time for me to decide upon my major, I have known for years that I wanted to major in music. However, you're probably thinking, "Hmm going to Dartmouth for music? That's weird." And yes! Yes, it is!
