About Dartmouth College

Often considered a mecca for the highly motivated student-athlete, Dartmouth student-athletes have a storied history of competing at the highest levels, excelling in NCAA Division I championships across sports such as track and field, basketball, cross country, soccer, skiing, hockey, lacrosse, baseball, and tennis. Nicknamed “The Big Green,” Dartmouth sponsors 35 varsity sports - 16 for men, 18 for women and coed sailing; there are also 35 club and 24 intramural sports as three-quarters of Dartmouth undergraduates participate in some form of athletics. Competing as a member of the Ivy League, the Big Green recently celebrated multiple championships across football, men’s hockey, skiing, equestrian, and women’s rugby, reinforcing a culture of competitive distinction. The College has invested more than $100 million in athletic facilities since 2000, reflecting a longstanding commitment to excellence in athletics, physical education, and recreation. Guided by the leadership of Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation, Mike Harrity, Dartmouth Athletics has embraced a “Distinctly Dartmouth” framework, co-created with coaches and staff, that emphasizes the core values of ten...acity, collaboration, and passion. This values-driven approach informs every aspect of the student athlete experience, aligning athletic priorities with the academic mission of the College and strengthening the sense of community across campus. At the same time, Dartmouth has deepened its investment in holistic student well-being through the creation of the Teevens Center for Peak Performance, a new initiative designed to enhance mental wellness, leadership development, and performance science. This innovative resource benefits varsity athletes as well as the broader student body, underscoring Dartmouth’s commitment to preparing graduates to excel both on the playing field and in life. A private, four-year, liberal arts, coeducational college, Dartmouth's focus is on undergraduate education, but the College is considered a small university with graduate schools of business, engineering and medicine as well as 16 graduate programs in the arts and sciences.
