The Thayer School, Dartmouth's school of engineering, graduates about 50 bachelor's degree students a year. The master's program is about twice that size.

Dartmouth College is not known for engineering, and places like Stanford and Cornell clearly have much more robust and specialized programs. That said, Dartmouth takes pride in the features that distinguish its school of engineering from other universities. Dartmouth engineering is housed within the liberal arts, so Dartmouth engineers graduate with a broad education and strong communication skills. Students can choose from a Bachelor of Arts program or a more professional Bachelor of Engineering program. Whichever path students take, they are assured an engineering curriculum defined by close interaction with the faculty.
