Application Policies

Students must matriculate in the same academic year for which they were admitted to the program. The academic year begins in Summer, and concludes in the Spring term. If students are accepted, but wish to defer, they cannot defer beyond the one academic year in which they were admitted. Students who wish to defer beyond the one academic year limit must re-apply to the MALS Program.

All degree requirements must be satisfied within six academic years of entry into the program.

All application materials become the property of Dartmouth College.

An Admissions Interview is required and must be completed by the application deadline.  Interviews are held throughout the year and scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. To schedule your Admissions Interview, please contact the MALS office by emailing MALS.Admissions@Dartmouth.edu or by calling 603.646.3592 no later than 30 days prior to the application deadline. Where feasible, in-person interviews are preferred; alternatively, you can schedule a Zoom interview.
