Page "Dartmouth College" Paragraph 21

Through the Graduate Studies program, Dartmouth grants doctorate and master's degrees in 19 Arts & Sciences graduate programs.

Although the first graduate degree, a PhD in classics, was awarded in 1885, many of the current PhD programs trace their origins to the 1960s.

Furthermore, Dartmouth is home to three professional schools: Dartmouth Medical School ( established 1797 ), Thayer School of Engineering ( 1867 ) — which also serves as the undergraduate department of engineering sciences — and Tuck School of Business ( 1900 ).

With these professional schools and graduate programs, conventional American usage would accord Dartmouth the label of " Dartmouth University "; however, because of historical and nostalgic reasons ( such as Dartmouth College v. Woodward ), the school uses the name " Dartmouth College " to refer to the entire institution.
