The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College[4] is the graduate business school of Dartmouth College, a private Ivy League research university in Hanover, New Hampshire. The school offers only a Master of Business Administration degree program.
Founded in 1900, the Tuck School was the first institution in the world to offer a master's degree in business administration, and is the second oldest Ivy League business school.[5][6][7][8]
The Tuck School awards only one degree, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, through a full-time, residential program. Tuck is known for its rural setting and small class size — each MBA class consists of about 280 students. As such, both factors, combined with Tuck's commitment to the full-time MBA program, contribute to its high giving rate among the 10,300 Tuck alumni across 73 countries.[2] Almost 70% of all Tuck alumni regularly give to the school, the highest rate among business schools worldwide.
Graduates of the Tuck School of Business earn some of the highest salaries of MBA programs in the United States. MBA graduates of Tuck earned an average $170,000 first year compensation, not including performance-based bonuses or equity-based compensation, the third highest of all US-based MBA programs.[9] Tuck's MBA program ties for 9th place with MIT for the highest average GMAT score of 722 for its entering class.[10]
