Tuck School of Business

Nestled in the mountains of central New Hampshire, Dartmouth College is one of six members of the Ivy League with top-ranked MBA programs. The school, located in Hanover, was founded in 1769 and its business school opened its doors just over a century ago, in 1900. The Tuck School of Business prides itself on being a model for many of today's top U.S. business programs.

Unlike many business schools, Tuck offers only one business degree—the full-time MBA. But students can pursue dual degrees at some of Dartmouth's other schools, including the Dartmouth Medical School. At 32 weeks, Tuck's core curriculum is longer than that of most business schools, but that doesn't hinder the program's flexibility or graduates' success: MBA students graduate with an average annual base salary of $110,000.

School Beginnings
The Amos Tuck School of Business, formerly the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance, is the nation's first graduate school of management. It was founded in 1900 when Edward Tuck donated 1,700 shares of Great Northern Railway Company of Minnesota stock to get the school started. A year later, Tuck gave the school $100,000 and followed up with an additional $500,000 in 1929.

Tuck, who named the school in memory of his father, graduated from Dartmouth in 1862 and worked in banking and railroad investment. Tuck's father was a founding member of the Republican Party. He, too, had graduated from Dartmouth.

Accessible Professors
Students at Tuck learn from renowned professors both in and out of the classroom. Dartmouth has a low student-to-faculty ratio—there are 45 full-time faculty members and about 240 students. The school is expected to add even more faculty as part of the Tuck 2012 five-year strategic plan.

Aside from teaching, professors publish their own articles, books, and other research. Some also do consulting work for corporations. Despite their off-campus pursuits, students say Tuck professors are available to meet with them outside the classroom.

Camaraderie
Tuck's small student body gives students the chance to connect with both professors and their peers. Students at Tuck are encouraged to work together to create a community built around camaraderie and participation. The students are competitive and driven, but that doesn't prevent cooperation and teamwork. They also bring a lot of knowledge and experience to the classroom: On average, Tuck MBA students are 29 years old and have more than five years of work experience. Average GMAT score? An impressive 712.

Families
Although most single students live on campus, those with partners (44%) or families usually live in Dartmouth housing at Sachem Village or in nearby apartments and houses. The Tuck community welcomes students' partners into the community through the "Tuck Partners " program.

The school supports students and their families in everything from moving to Hanover, N.H., to finding day care for the kids. While prospective students are interviewing at Tuck, their partners can meet with current Tuck partners to learn about the community.
