Liberal Arts Curriculum
Dartmouth is—fundamentally and enthusiastically—an institution devoted to the liberal arts, but the term "liberal arts" is often misunderstood.
A simple way to explain the liberal arts would be to replace the words "liberal arts" in "liberal arts curriculum" with "multidisciplinary." A more thorough description of what our multidisciplinary curriculum involves, and the many benefits it offers, can be found in the work of Dartmouth professor Cecelia Gaposchkin, who has written extensively about the topic in the Huffington Post, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and in 3D, our own admissions magazine.
