All completed applications submitted by or on the deadline will be reviewed by the committee after the application is closed. MALS at Dartmouth does not offer rolling admissions.
Students may matriculate into the program at the beginning of any of Dartmouth's four terms: summer, fall, winter, or spring. All terms are ten weeks long.
It is strongly recommended that international students matriculate during the fall term in order to take full advantage of all opportunities available through the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies Orientation.
Students must enroll within the academic year of their admission, and all degree requirements must be satisfied within six academic years of entry into the program.
Any applicant questions can be directed to our Admissions Coordinator at MALS.Admissions@dartmouth.edu or Amanda.m.watson@dartmouth.edu.
Applicants who wish may request an information session (Q&A) with the Program Director to get to know the program. To do so, please contact the MALS office by emailing MALS.Admissions@Dartmouth.edu or by calling 603.646.3592. This is a completely OPTIONAL opportunity, but please reach out as soon as you have questions.
