Dartmouth College is one of the most elite institutions of higher education in America, but it also sets itself apart from its peers through its quarter-based academic calendar. This system allows students to enroll in up to three intensive courses each quarter, and by graduation, students have typically taken more courses than their peers at other institutions. The quarter system also encourages students to study abroad, volunteer, or intern for one or more quarters. It provides an immense level of flexibility. Kevin Mathes, the Associate Director of Admissions at Dartmouth, also encourages parents to let their students be the driver of the admissions process.
