Dartmouth's MEM degree integrates engineering, mathematics, and core management courses, along with electives from across campus, including Tuck School of Business, Geisel School of Medicine, and The Dartmouth Institute, as well as Vermont Law School. At the start of the program, you'll meet with an academic advisor to develop a plan of study, which is submitted to and approved by an MEM director during the first term of residence.

Scholarships

Need-based financial aid is available to all eligible full-time domestic and international students. Contingent upon satisfactory performance and academic progress, all MEM students are eligible for need-based financial aid. To be considered for financial aid, prospective students must request financial aid while submitting their application.

Partial Tuition Scholarships

Full-time MEM students (domestic and international) are eligible for partial tuition scholarships. Assessment of need is based on the CSS Profile application. Awards are made annually on an academic year basis.

The MEM program is a professional program where students take classes, but are not required to conduct research (unlike MS and PhD programs). Most professional programs (including the MBA, MD, and JD degrees) offer little or no financial aid. Our MEM program is pleased to offer partial tuition scholarships to students with need.

The George CA "Gus" Conrades '90 Distinguished Fellowship

The Conrades Fellowship is for students with demonstrated entrepreneurship and leadership potential as judged by a faculty-led review panel. Each fellowship includes a tuition grant and discretionary funds to support an entrepreneurial project, done collectively with a mentor, which culminates in a business plan presentation. Fellows may also have an opportunity to receive a stipend for work on an original business/start-up plan in place of a summer internship. Students apply during the Winter term of their first year in residence.

Hourly Teaching Assistantships and Other Employment

Teaching assistantships may be available to well-qualified students. A teaching assistant is paid hourly to assist with grading, problem sessions, and/or lab work. Assignments are made on a term-by-term basis. Other limited hourly employment is available to qualified students.

Work is generally limited to 12 hours per week during academic terms and 40 hours per week between terms and during off-terms. The hourly rate of pay is $17. Hourly employment may not exceed a total of 40 hours per week from any and all College sources.

FAQs

In the application, you must specify whether you will be applying for need-based financial aid. Need-based financial aid is available to all eligible full-time international and domestic students.

Essays: The following two essays are required. If possible, keep your essay(s) to a maximum of two pages. A statement of purpose describing your interests and career goals and the reasons you wish to pursue graduate studies at Thayer An essay specific to the MEM program
All applicants are required to submit academic transcripts from each undergraduate or graduate institution from which you obtained your degrees (eg. your bachelor's degree or other advanced degrees.) You may scan and upload a copy of your academic transcript (not diploma) issued by the institution(s) from which you obtained your undergraduate degree(s) and any advanced/graduate degree(s) directly to the online application. For grading scales other than 4.0 grading scales: Please include documentation indicating the scale. Applicants with international transcripts are encouraged to submit a transcript evaluation from WES (World Education Services) along with their Dartmouth Engineering application. While a WES evaluation is not mandatory for admission, it can help expedite the application review process. If you are admitted, you will need to submit official academic transcripts for all your international coursework and credentials. WES evaluations can be used instead of official transcripts, but they must be sent directly to Dartmouth Engineering by the evaluation service provider, and they must include a copy of the official transcripts that were evaluated. Non-Degree Coursework: If you attended institutions other than those from which your degree(s) were granted, you are required to scan and upload your academic transcripts from these institutions (transfer coursework, domestic or study-abroad programs, postgraduate non-degree coursework, etc.). If you have more than three undergraduate transcripts or three graduate transcripts to upload, please combine them by uploading a file that contains more than one transcript. Remember: Scan BOTH sides of your transcript (provided the second side is not blank). Depending on the scanner and software, you may either insert individual images (.jpg) into a single word processing document for upload, OR if your software produces a .pdf, simply upload that file. The file must be less than 1 MB, in a standard format, WITHOUT password protection or macros. Any of these problems will cause the upload process to fail. A diploma is not a transcript. If you upload a scanned copy of your transcript, you do not need to send a hard copy. The scanned copy fulfills the requirement for the application process. Upon admission, you will be required to supply an official hard copy of your transcript. Admitted Students: If admitted, you are required to request ONE official, original hardcopy transcript be mailed to Thayer (mailing address below) directly from each college and/or university you have attended in a signed, sealed envelope. We will accept a transcript via email if that is your prior institution's method of transcript delivery. International applicants must make arrangements to have their academic records translated and sent along with originals. Where American-style transcripts are not used, the applicant must include all available records including courses, grades, degrees, and rank-in-class. The appropriate university officials must certify these records. Evaluations from WES (World Education Services) can be used instead of official transcripts, but they must be sent directly to Dartmouth Engineering by the evaluation service provider, and they must include a copy of the official transcripts that were evaluated. Upon admission, supporting materials such as transcripts should be mailed to: Graduate Admissions Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth 15 Thayer Drive Hanover, NH 03755
Three (3) letters of recommendation are required, which must be completed and submitted online directly by your recommender. Please have your recommenders complete the evaluation form which will be emailed to them and submit a signed letter on their official institutional letterhead. If your recommender's company or institution has a policy against letterhead, they must provide a copy of this policy with the recommendation letter. Letters of recommendation should ideally come from your college professors using their official school email address. Applicants with work or military experience or who are currently in another graduate program should submit a recommendation from their immediate supervisor, a current or former employer, or someone who knows them well through some other professional or community activity.
