How to Apply

How the Program Fits into the D Plan

After acceptance in the Dartmouth/Oxford Exchange Program, students select two courses from a pre-approved list (included in the information guide) to be taken at Keble College and confirm approval with their Government or Economics Department advisor. Dartmouth and Keble colleges work together to offer courses that are equivalent to Dartmouth courses so that students may select courses that fulfill major requirements. A normal course load at Keble College is two courses. The courses are taught using the British tutorial system, meaning lots of one-on-one time with the professor and independent study time with only occasional, if any, class meetings.
