Tuck MBA:

A Tuck education prepares you to think on your feet and act decisively in any business environment.
Tuck’s curriculum is comprehensive and specific. The focus is on leadership. Through rigorous coursework you will acquire the knowledge you need to lead—in finance, strategy, marketing, general management, and more. You will be ready. Not just for your next great job, but for your career. For your future.

The teamwork emphasized in their MBA program is an essential element of your success. The dynamics within study groups are electric. You will perform at your highest level because your team is counting on you.

Tuck’s MBA is flexible enough to meet your unique interests. Through elective courses you can steer the curriculum to reflect your own direction. Joint- and dual-degree programs and exchange programs respond to your unique goals.
Pursuing a Tuck MBA is a wise investment in yourself and in your future.

Joint & Dual Degrees

Tuck offers joint and dual degrees in association with Dartmouth’s other graduate programs and some of the nation’s best professional schools. Tuck also permits students to design their own dual-degree programs with other universities.

Executive Education:

Tuck’s open programs are learning experiences for a more general audience that focus on a broad general-management topic or drill deeply into a specific area or skill set—or both. Yet, similar to our custom engagements, Tuck open programs offer an intimate, intense learning experience and focus on clients’ real-world needs. Your needs.

Never simply a repetition of trendy business thinking, their programs address specific challenges that are part of what’s happening in business today. And they frame them in a fresh, creative way. In fact, Tuck open programs have become the mainstay of executive education for many world-class organizations, both locally and globally.

Business Bridge Program:

Business skills are valuable, no matter what path you take in life. They’re marketable. They make you infinitely more employable. The Bridge Program is a proven path, a fast-track to mastery of business basics. So, even if you’re not considering a career in finance or management, you should consider Bridge.
One of the first things you’ll learn here is how to work successfully within a team. This cooperative mentality comes from classes and assignments that mirror the working world. It comes from recognizing and playing off the strengths of others. It comes from presenting, as a team, to faculty and being evaluated as a group, not just as an individual.

Campus:

The Tuck School of Business is located in Hanover, N.H., on the banks of the Connecticut River in the heart of New England. Tuck is part of Dartmouth College, a member of the Ivy League. It’s a place with endless opportunities for intellectual and personal growth, thanks to its people, facilities, and beautiful setting. Our comfortable, top-notch facilities foster informal interactions among community members and offer easy access to the latest technology. Located at the west end of Dartmouth’s beautiful 200-acre campus, Tuck’s interconnected buildings provide an integrated living and learning environment.

Academic & Administrative Buildings

Tuck’s six academic and administrative buildings contain large and small classrooms, group study rooms, conference rooms, lounges, a business/engineering library, and offices for faculty and staff. Tuck classrooms are located in Tuck Hall, Byrne Hall, and the Murdough Center. A wide range of study spaces are available around campus, including in Stell and Whittemore Halls.

Residential Buildings

Residential living is a foundation of the Tuck culture-which includes teamwork and the building of lifelong relationships. Students and partners live on or nearby campus, making spontaneous social events and shared activities a way of life. Tuck’s residential character is one important reason that Tuck alumni are among the most loyal of all the business school in the world.

Faculty:

You learn more when your classes are taught by the best. At Tuck, you’ll have access to the best. Behind each name in their faculty directory is a teacher, present in the classroom, calling you by name and challenging you to contribute. Each is also a scholar, actively pursuing academic inquiry. And each maintains strong connections to the corporate world, helping to shape the practice of management worldwide.
An incredible thing about their faculty is their accessibility outside of the classroom. One of the reasons they teach at Tuck is because they want the opportunity to know their students as individuals. Their faculties are an integral part of the Tuck community.

Have a question, an idea, a comment? Talk to your professor after class. During their office hours. Over coffee. At dinner. Tuck gives you significant access to outstanding teachers at the forefront of their fields. All of their full-time faculty teach in the MBA program. Their fields of study exceed the boundaries of a curriculum. And when you want to know more, you’ll have the opportunity.
