Participants are enrolled in a single, intensive course. Dartmouth Precollege Summer Scholars courses are rigorous but not for credit, which allows participants to explore new topics and challenge themselves academically without worrying about grades. Those who successfully complete a Summer Scholars course will be provided with a certificate of completion and brief evaluation from their instructor.

Dartmouth Precollege Summer Scholars instructors are primarily Dartmouth affiliates — meaning faculty, staff, teaching faculty, lecturers and senior lecturers who teach undergraduate and graduate students during the academic year, as well as alumni, emeritus faculty and postdoctoral scholars — alongside other experienced instructors selected for their expertise in their field as well as their interest in teaching precollege students. Our instructors design custom courses that provide a deep dive into their area of expertise and reflect current academic research and scholarly trends.
