The '''Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/about/facts-and-figures/history |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=www.tuck.dartmouth.edu |language=en}}</ref> is the [[Graduate school|graduate]] [[business school]] of [[Dartmouth College]], a [[Private university|private]] [[Ivy League]] [[research university]] in [[Hanover, New Hampshire]]. The school only offers a [[Master of Business Administration]] degree program.
The '''Amos Tuck School of Business Administration''' is the [[Graduate school|graduate]] [[business school]] of [[Dartmouth College]] in [[Hanover, New Hampshire]], United States of America. Founded in 1900, Tuck is the oldest graduate school of business in the world, and was the first institution to offer [[master's degree]]s in [[administration (business)|business administration]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://alumni.yale.edu/clubs/fapn/2001_04_09_WSJ.html | title = And the Winner Is...

Tuck grants only one degree, the [[Master of Business Administration]], alongside shorter programs for executives and recent college graduates, although there are opportunities for dual degrees with other institutions. The school places a heavy emphasis on its tight-knit and residential character, and has a student population that hovers near 500 students and a full-time faculty of 46.<ref name="about tuck">{{cite web | url = http://www.tuck.edu/about/index.html | title = About Tuck | publisher = Tuck School of Business | accessdate = 2007-11-09 }}</ref> Tuck claims over 8,400 living [[alumni]] in a variety of fields, and currently enjoys the highest rate of alumni donation of any business school in the United States.


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.<ref name="quick facts"/> 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://poetsandquants.com/2021/05/30/mba-salaries-bonuses-at-the-leading-u-s-b-schools/|title = MBA Salaries & Bonuses at the Leading U.S. B-Schools|date = 30 May 2021}}</ref> Tuck's MBA program ties for 9th place with [[MIT Sloan School of Management|MIT]] for the highest average [[Graduate Management Admission Test|GMAT]] score of 722 for its entering class.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://poetsandquants.com/2017/09/20/an-early-look-at-the-latest-gmat-scores-at-top-schools/2/ |title=An Early Look at the Latest GMAT Scores |publisher=Poets & Quants |date=September 20, 2017 |access-date=March 22, 2018 |first=John A. |last=Byrne}}</ref>

== History ==
In the late 1920s, Dartmouth president [[Ernest Martin Hopkins]] sought to unify the Tuck School by establishing a central campus, uniting the school's academic and residential facilities. Edward Tuck, then an aged man living in France, donated an additional $570,000 for the effort.<ref name="our history"/> Using primarily his funds, four new buildings were constructed in 1929 on the west side of campus.<ref name="dartmo-tuck">{{cite web | url = http://www.dartmo.com/buildings/tuvwxyzbldg.html#tuckhall2 | title = Tuck Hall (II) | work = Dartmo.: The Buildings of Dartmouth College | accessdate = 2007-10-02 }}</ref><ref name="our history"/>

===Founding===
In 1942, the school's name changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration, and in 1953, the degree program changed to the modern [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA). Until the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Tuck School catered primarily to Dartmouth students, accepting undergraduates during their third year.<ref name="our history"/> Under Dean Karl Hill, Tuck shifted its focus to soliciting a national student body. The resulting expansion in the late 1960s saw additional growth of the campus with the construction of a new dormitory and the Murdough Center, which contains the Feldberg Business and Engineering Library. Under Deans Richard West (1976–1983) and Colin Blaydon (1983–1990), the school's curriculum and faculty expanded extensively, and applications increased by one-third.<ref name="our history"/> Since the late 1980s, Tuck has continued to expand in student body and faculty size, and has seen the establishment of two new campus buildings as well as several research centers and nondegree business programs.<ref name="tuck history timeline"/>
[[Image:Amos tuck.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75|[[Amos Tuck]], the namesake of the Tuck School, was a founder of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]].]]
At the turn of the 20th century, Dartmouth College president [[William Jewett Tucker]] decided to explore the possibility of establishing a school of business to educate the growing number of Dartmouth alumni entering the commercial world.<ref name="jstor">{{cite journal | title = The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration: Its Origin and Present Program | first = Karl A. | last = Hill | date = December 1961 | journal = Journal of Higher Education | volume = XXXII}}</ref> Additionally, Tucker was concerned about business leadership in a broad social sense, or, as he put it, "training commensurate with the larger meaning of business", and so began soliciting interest among Dartmouth alumni.<ref name="our history"/>


Through a renewed friendship, Tucker enlisted the support of his former roommate from his undergraduate years at Dartmouth, [[Edward Tuck]], who had since become a wealthy banker and philanthropist.<ref name="our history">{{cite web |url=http://www.tuck.edu/about/history/index.html |title=About Tuck: Our History |publisher=Tuck School of Business |access-date=2007-11-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070524141711/http://www.tuck.edu/about/history/index.html |archive-date=2007-05-24 }}</ref> Enthusiastically agreeing to help, on September 8, 1899, Edward Tuck donated an initial grant of $300,000 — in the form of 1,700 shares of [[preferred stock]] in the [[Great Northern Railway (U.S.)|Great Northern Railway Company of Minnesota]] — to found and endow the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance, which was named in memory of Tuck's father and Dartmouth alumnus, [[Amos Tuck]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/Library_Bulletin/Nov1992/LB-N92-KCramer1.html |title=Notes from the Dartmouth Library Special Collection |publisher=Dartmouth College |access-date=14 February 2018}}</ref> In January 1900, the Dartmouth Board of Trustees passed a vote to formally establish the school.

===The Tuck Pattern===
[[Image:Dartmouth College campus 2007-10-03 Tuck LLC.JPG|right|thumb|The forthcoming Tuck Living and Learning Complex (LLC), expected to be completed in December 2008]]
The new school's tuition fee cost $100 for the few students who enrolled in the first year; graduates of the two-year program received a Master of Commercial Science degree (MCS).<ref name="tuck history timeline" /><ref name="our history" /> The curriculum involved both traditional [[liberal arts]] fields as well as economic and finance education.<ref name="jstor" /> Specifically, the first-years were required to take Modern History, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Foreign Language, and English Composition and Speaking; second-year courses included Modern History and Diplomacy, Finance, Transportation, Insurance, Law, Municipal Administration, Demography and Social Institutions, Language, and Practice Organizations.<ref name="our history" />

Undergraduate Dartmouth professors taught most of the first-year courses at Tuck, while outside guest instructors and business-people, such as an export merchant, an attorney, an insurance company president, and an accountant, educated the second-year students.<ref name="jstor" /> Edward Tuck, pleased with the breadth of experience found in the school's instructors, wrote to Dartmouth president Tucker in February 1902, "I am glad that it will be the aim of the school to bring students in touch with practical businessmen."<ref name="our history" />

While other business programs tended to offer specialized technical courses linked neither to the liberal arts tradition nor to the broader purposes of business, Tuck maintained itself as a school of general management in the broadest liberal sense, to which a study by the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York|Carnegie Corporation]] observed, "The Tuck School probably went further than any other institution in the pre-war period in putting its work on a demanding intellectual level."<ref name="our history" /> Thus, the Tuck School's emphasis on a broad education in general management was adopted by many other emerging business schools, and was dubbed the "Tuck Pattern."<ref name="jstor" /><ref name="our history" />

===Succession of leadership and expansion===
Students of the first class held their studies in the Hubbard House, located on North Main Street across the [[The Green (Dartmouth College)|College Green]]. A year later, in 1901, Tuck donated an additional $100,000 to build the original Tuck Hall (now McNutt Hall).<ref name="our history"/> The school grew and prospered under the leadership of Frank H. Dixon, who served as the school's first secretary and later left to join the Dartmouth economics department full-time in 1904,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hetwebsite.net/het/profiles/dixon.htm |title=Frank H. Dixon, 1869-1944 |access-date=March 22, 2018 |publisher=The History of Economic Thought |first = Goncalo L. |last=Fonseca}}</ref> followed by [[Harlow S. Person|Harlow Person]], Tuck's first dean, from 1904 through 1919.<ref name="our history"/> Person, in 1911, invited 300 leaders of industry, including [[Frederick Winslow Taylor]] — who later became a professor at Tuck — and [[Lillian Moller Gilbreth|Lillian Gilbreth]], to a major conference on scientific management, which business historians consider the kick-off for what later became the worldwide [[scientific management]] movement.<ref>{{cite book |title=Addresses and discussions at the conference on scientific management held October 12, 13, 14, nineteen hundred and eleven |url=https://archive.org/details/addressesdiscuss00dart |publisher=Dartmouth College |date=1912 |author=Amos Tuck School of Business Administration}}</ref>

Afterward, the school was led by a Tuck alumnus, William R. Gray, from 1919 through 1937.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1937/04/01/archives/dean-william-r-gray-of-school-of-finance-dartmouth-college.html |work=New York Times |access-date=March 22, 2018 |title=DEAN WILLIAM R. GRAY OF SCHOOL OF FINANCE; Dartmouth College Executive Had Been With Tuck School Since 1905--Dies at 57 |date=April 1, 1937}}</ref> During this period of growth, Dartmouth president [[Ernest Martin Hopkins]] wrote often to [[Edward Tuck]] reflecting on the school's flourishing alumni and faculty. In the late 1920s, Hopkins sought to unify the Tuck School by establishing a central campus, uniting the school's academic and residential facilities. In order to do so, however, Hopkins had to receive permission to do so from Edward Tuck, as the documents of incorporation stipulated that the original Tuck Hall be used exclusively for a business school. Hopkins wrote to Tuck in July 1928, then 85 years old and living in France, outlining his reasons for the proposed move and asking permission to release Dartmouth from the stipulation regarding the use of the original Tuck Hall.

Edward Tuck, going above merely granting his permission, wrote back in August 1928, "The success and growth of the school have gone far beyond our original expectations, and we have every reason to be proud of it. It would be a satisfaction to me to do it [that is, donate the funds] if I could, rather than have outside capital contribute to a work which thus far I have taken care of financially myself."
[[File:Tuck Interior.jpg|thumb|Stell Hall, named after Julia Stell, Edward Tuck's wife]]
Tuck donated 600 shares of [[Chase Bank#Chase National Bank|Chase National Bank]], which was sold for $567,766 a couple months before the [[Wall Street Crash of 1929|Black Tuesday]] crash at the start of the [[Great Depression]]. On the west side of the campus, Edward Tuck Hall was completed in 1930 and was flanked by two dormitories, Chase Hall and Woodbury Hall — named for two Dartmouth alumni, [[Salmon P. Chase]] and [[Levi Woodbury]], respectively. Stell Hall, the dining facility adjacent to Chase Hall, was named after Tuck's wife, Julia Stell. With the completion of the project, Tuck students now lived together and took classes together.<ref name="our history" /><ref name="dartmo-tuck">{{cite web | url = http://www.dartmo.com/buildings/tuvwxyzbldg.html#tuckhall2 | title = Tuck Hall (II) | work = Dartmo.: The Buildings of Dartmouth College | access-date = 2007-10-02 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120907222737/http://www.dartmo.com/buildings/tuvwxyzbldg.html#tuckhall2 | archive-date = 2012-09-07 }}</ref>

===Post-World War II changes===
In 1937, Herluf V. Olsen succeeded Gray as the dean of Tuck and led the school until 1951.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1966/09/14/archives/herluf-olsen-67-educator-dead-exdean-of-the-tuck-school-of-business.html |title=HERLUF OLSEN, 67, EDUCATOR, DEAD; Ex-Dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth |date=September 14, 1966 |access-date=March 25, 2018 |work=New York Times}}</ref> During his tenure, Olsen created the joint Tuck-[[Thayer School of Engineering|Thayer]] program between the business school and engineering school. In 1942, the school's name changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration, and under Dean Arthur P. Upgren's leadership, who ran Tuck from 1952 to 1957, the degree program changed from the MCS to the modern [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA) in 1953.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/06/obituaries/arthur-p-upgren-dies-at-89-an-economist-and-professor.html |title=Arthur P.

Until the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Tuck School catered primarily to Dartmouth students, accepting undergraduates during their third year. Such students made up 90 percent of each class at Tuck.<ref name="our history" /> Under Dean Karl Hill, who led the school from 1957 to 1968, Tuck shifted its focus to soliciting a national student body to create a more diverse student body. In addition, Hill created the Tuck Associates program in 1964 to foster relationships between Tuck and the business community. By securing grants from the [[Alfred P. Sloan Foundation|Sloan Foundation]], Hill also brought in additional faculty to the school by setting up funding for summer research.

The expansion under Hill culminated in the creation of the school's board of overseers as well as a full-time admissions office in the early 1960s. The resulting expansion in the late 1960s saw additional growth of the campus with the construction of a new dormitory and, through a generous donation made by Thomas G. Murdough, founder of [[Little Tikes]], the Murdough Center, which contains the Feldberg Business and Engineering Library.<ref name="our history2">{{cite web |url=http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/about/history/history2.html|access-date=March 25, 2018 |date=May 14, 2007 |publisher=The Tuck School |title=Our History (continued) |first=Mary |last=Munter |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070514052128/http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/about/history/history2.html |archive-date=May 14, 2007 }}</ref>

[[John W. Hennessey Jr|John Hennessey]], who succeeded Hill as dean in 1968, continued to revamp the curriculum and recruit new faculty members.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/news/articles/remembering-john-hennessey|title=Remembering John Hennessey|date=January 16, 2018|access-date=March 25, 2018|first=Patti|last=Bacon|publisher=The Tuck School}}</ref> The [[Ford Foundation|Ford Foundation's]] Gorden-Howell report<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.questia.com/library/3137696/higher-education-for-busines|title=Higher Education for Business|publisher=Columbia University Press|year=1959|first1=Robert Aaron|last1=Gordon|first2=James Edwin|last2=Howell}}</ref> and [[Carnegie Corporation|Carnegie Corporation's]] Pierson report<ref>{{cite book|title=The Education of American Businessmen: a Study of University-College Program in Business Administration|publisher=McGraw-Hill|year=1959|first=Frank Cook|last=Pierson}}</ref> both singled out the Tuck School as having a serious academic curriculum, including newly emerging disciplines in quantitative and behavioral sciences, as well as organizational behavior and business policy.


Perhaps Hennessey's most significant changes were his efforts to recruit minority students for the Tuck program. He served as the founding chairman of the Council for Opportunity in Graduate Management Education and visited dozens of schools to recruit minority students to Tuck. In 1964, Tuck admitted its first minority student and, in 1968, its first woman student.<ref name="our history2"/>

In 1971, Hennessey established the Tuck Annual Giving program, which, in its first year, drew $71,000 from the 27 percent of alumni who donated. In the same year, ''Tuck Today'', the school's alumni magazine was founded. By 1972, Tuck alumni clubs were established in major cities across the country, which helped establish Tuck's role in Dartmouth's first capital campaign.<ref name="our history2"/> Hennessey also oversaw the founding of the Tuck Executive Program in 1974 alongside professor Kenneth Davis.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://exec.tuck.dartmouth.edu/news-knowledge/blog/tuck-executive-program-marks-40th-anniversary-with-40-global-executives |title=Tuck Executive Program Marks 40th Anniversary with 40 Global Executives |date=July 15, 2014 |access-date=March 25, 2018 |first=Richard |last=Mosenthal |publisher=Tuck Executive Education |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180327223223/http://exec.tuck.dartmouth.edu/news-knowledge/blog/tuck-executive-program-marks-40th-anniversary-with-40-global-executives |archive-date=2018-03-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

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 only offers 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.[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]

History

[edit]
Edward Tuck, founder of the Tuck School

Founding

[edit]
Amos Tuck, the namesake of the Tuck School, was a founder of the Republican Party.

At the turn of the 20th century, Dartmouth College president William Jewett Tucker decided to explore the possibility of establishing a school of business to educate the growing number of Dartmouth alumni entering the commercial world.[11] Additionally, Tucker was concerned about business leadership in a broad social sense, or, as he put it, "training commensurate with the larger meaning of business", and so began soliciting interest among Dartmouth alumni.[12]

Through a renewed friendship, Tucker enlisted the support of his former roommate from his undergraduate years at Dartmouth, Edward Tuck, who had since become a wealthy banker and philanthropist.[12] Enthusiastically agreeing to help, on September 8, 1899, Edward Tuck donated an initial grant of $300,000 — in the form of 1,700 shares of preferred stock in the Great Northern Railway Company of Minnesota — to found and endow the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance, which was named in memory of Tuck's father and Dartmouth alumnus, Amos Tuck.[13] In January 1900, the Dartmouth Board of Trustees passed a vote to formally establish the school.

The Tuck Pattern

[edit]

The new school's tuition fee cost $100 for the few students who enrolled in the first year; graduates of the two-year program received a Master of Commercial Science degree (MCS).[1][12] The curriculum involved both traditional liberal arts fields as well as economic and finance education.[11] Specifically, the first-years were required to take Modern History, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Foreign Language, and English Composition and Speaking; second-year courses included Modern History and Diplomacy, Finance, Transportation, Insurance, Law, Municipal Administration, Demography and Social Institutions, Language, and Practice Organizations.[12]

Undergraduate Dartmouth professors taught most of the first-year courses at Tuck, while outside guest instructors and business-people, such as an export merchant, an attorney, an insurance company president, and an accountant, educated the second-year students.[11] Edward Tuck, pleased with the breadth of experience found in the school's instructors, wrote to Dartmouth president Tucker in February 1902, "I am glad that it will be the aim of the school to bring students in touch with practical businessmen."[12]

While other business programs tended to offer specialized technical courses linked neither to the liberal arts tradition nor to the broader purposes of business, Tuck maintained itself as a school of general management in the broadest liberal sense, to which a study by the Carnegie Corporation observed, "The Tuck School probably went further than any other institution in the pre-war period in putting its work on a demanding intellectual level."[12] Thus, the Tuck School's emphasis on a broad education in general management was adopted by many other emerging business schools, and was dubbed the "Tuck Pattern."[11][12]

Succession of leadership and expansion

[edit]

Students of the first class held their studies in the Hubbard House, located on North Main Street across the College Green. A year later, in 1901, Tuck donated an additional $100,000 to build the original Tuck Hall (now McNutt Hall).[12] The school grew and prospered under the leadership of Frank H. Dixon, who served as the school's first secretary and later left to join the Dartmouth economics department full-time in 1904,[14] followed by Harlow Person, Tuck's first dean, from 1904 through 1919.[12] Person, in 1911, invited 300 leaders of industry, including Frederick Winslow Taylor — who later became a professor at Tuck — and Lillian Gilbreth, to a major conference on scientific management, which business historians consider the kick-off for what later became the worldwide scientific management movement.[15]

Tuck Hall, the Tuck School's main administrative building, after a heavy snowfall[16]

Afterward, the school was led by a Tuck alumnus, William R. Gray, from 1919 through 1937.[17] During this period of growth, Dartmouth president Ernest Martin Hopkins wrote often to Edward Tuck reflecting on the school's flourishing alumni and faculty. In the late 1920s, Hopkins sought to unify the Tuck School by establishing a central campus, uniting the school's academic and residential facilities. In order to do so, however, Hopkins had to receive permission to do so from Edward Tuck, as the documents of incorporation stipulated that the original Tuck Hall be used exclusively for a business school. Hopkins wrote to Tuck in July 1928, then 85 years old and living in France, outlining his reasons for the proposed move and asking permission to release Dartmouth from the stipulation regarding the use of the original Tuck Hall.

Edward Tuck, going above merely granting his permission, wrote back in August 1928, "The success and growth of the school have gone far beyond our original expectations, and we have every reason to be proud of it. It would be a satisfaction to me to do it [that is, donate the funds] if I could, rather than have outside capital contribute to a work which thus far I have taken care of financially myself."

Stell Hall, named after Julia Stell, Edward Tuck's wife

Tuck donated 600 shares of Chase National Bank, which was sold for $567,766 a couple months before the Black Tuesday crash at the start of the Great Depression. On the west side of the campus, Edward Tuck Hall was completed in 1930 and was flanked by two dormitories, Chase Hall and Woodbury Hall — named for two Dartmouth alumni, Salmon P. Chase and Levi Woodbury, respectively. Stell Hall, the dining facility adjacent to Chase Hall, was named after Tuck's wife, Julia Stell. With the completion of the project, Tuck students now lived together and took classes together.[12][18]

Post-World War II changes

[edit]

In 1937, Herluf V. Olsen succeeded Gray as the dean of Tuck and led the school until 1951.[19] During his tenure, Olsen created the joint Tuck-Thayer program between the business school and engineering school. In 1942, the school's name changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration, and under Dean Arthur P. Upgren's leadership, who ran Tuck from 1952 to 1957, the degree program changed from the MCS to the modern Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 1953.[20]

Until the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Tuck School catered primarily to Dartmouth students, accepting undergraduates during their third year. Such students made up 90 percent of each class at Tuck.[12] Under Dean Karl Hill, who led the school from 1957 to 1968, Tuck shifted its focus to soliciting a national student body to create a more diverse student body. In addition, Hill created the Tuck Associates program in 1964 to foster relationships between Tuck and the business community. By securing grants from the Sloan Foundation, Hill also brought in additional faculty to the school by setting up funding for summer research.

The expansion under Hill culminated in the creation of the school's board of overseers as well as a full-time admissions office in the early 1960s. The resulting expansion in the late 1960s saw additional growth of the campus with the construction of a new dormitory and, through a generous donation made by Thomas G. Murdough, founder of Little Tikes, the Murdough Center, which contains the Feldberg Business and Engineering Library.[21]

John Hennessey, who succeeded Hill as dean in 1968, continued to revamp the curriculum and recruit new faculty members.[22] The Ford Foundation's Gorden-Howell report[23] and Carnegie Corporation's Pierson report[24] both singled out the Tuck School as having a serious academic curriculum, including newly emerging disciplines in quantitative and behavioral sciences, as well as organizational behavior and business policy.

Perhaps Hennessey's most significant changes were his efforts to recruit minority students for the Tuck program. He served as the founding chairman of the Council for Opportunity in Graduate Management Education and visited dozens of schools to recruit minority students to Tuck. In 1964, Tuck admitted its first minority student and, in 1968, its first woman student.[21]

1970s to present day

[edit]

In 1971, Hennessey established the Tuck Annual Giving program, which, in its first year, drew $71,000 from the 27 percent of alumni who donated. In the same year, Tuck Today, the school's alumni magazine was founded. By 1972, Tuck alumni clubs were established in major cities across the country, which helped establish Tuck's role in Dartmouth's first capital campaign.[21] Hennessey also oversaw the founding of the Tuck Executive Program in 1974 alongside professor Kenneth Davis.[25]

Under Deans Richard West, who served from 1976 to 1983, and Colin Blaydon (1983–1990), the school's curriculum and faculty expanded extensively, and applications increased by one-third.[12] Since the late 1980s, Tuck has continued to expand in student body and faculty size, and has seen the establishment of two new campus buildings as well as several research centers and non-degree business programs.[1]

MBA Program

[edit]

The Tuck School offers a single degree: the two-year, full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA). Students may specialize within the MBA in fields such as finance or marketing, but a specialization is not required for graduation.[33] First-year MBA students at Tuck undertake a 32-week core curriculum in general management and a specialized First Year Project.[2][34][35] During their second year, students take 12 elective courses and design their own focused field of study.[36][37] The school stresses a collaborative and teamwork-based approach to learning, which it touts as one of its assets for "building the interpersonal skills required for business leadership."[38] However, this emphasis on cooperative group learning has been criticized as too "touchy-feely" for students entering the competitive business world, and the emphasis on consensus-building as detrimental to students' ability to make quick, independent decisions.[39]

In the past, The MBA program has held a top-10 ranking in multiple publications, including U.S. News & World Report,[40] Bloomberg,[41] The Economist,[42] Forbes,[43] Business Insider,[44] and Vault.[45]

Dual and Joint Degrees

[edit]

Students seeking other degrees can engage in one of many dual-degree or joint-degree programs offered in conjunction with other academic institutions:

The school also offers a variety of second-year exchange programs at other institutions such as the Handelshochschule Leipzig in Germany, the HEC School of Management in Paris, IESE Business School in Barcelona, and the London Business School.[47]

Within Dartmouth, faculty from Tuck and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice are partnering to offer a Master of Health Care Delivery Science degree from Dartmouth College. Moreover, Tuck partners with the Thayer School of Engineering to teach management courses through a Master of Engineering Management program offered by Thayer School of Engineering.[48]

Employment statistics

[edit]

95% of the Tuck MBA class of 2017 had jobs offers three months post graduation and 100% of those students found internships during the summer following the first year.[49] The most popular career industries for graduates are management consulting (33%), financial services (20%), and technology (20%) with graduates' first year annual base salaries averaging $127,986 with a mean signing bonus of $30,208.[50] According to the 2018 Financial Times M.B.A. report, Tuck currently ranks 10th in the world for average three year post-graduation salary at $172,735.[51] This figure does not including bonuses or other forms of compensation.[51]

According to Tuck's published 2017 employment report, the top hiring companies for full time students in the class of 2016 were McKinsey & Company (21), Bain & Company (18), and Amazon (11). Similarly, the top hiring companies for the class of 2017 internships were McKinsey & Company (16), Bain & Company (11), and Amazon (10).[52]

Non-degree programs

[edit]

In addition to the MBA program, the school offers an array of executive education and other non-degree programs. In particular, Tuck offers the Tuck Business Bridge Program, a 4-week, intensive program for current and recently graduated university students seeking to build a foundation in core business concepts.[53] There is also a Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program for high school students.[54] Tuck offers an Advanced Management Program for executives, which spans either one or two weeks depending on the course.[55][56]

Organization and research

[edit]
The Feldberg Business and Engineering Library

Like the undergraduate portion of Dartmouth College, the Tuck School operates on a quarter system.[57] As part of the larger institution, the Tuck School is ultimately administered by Dartmouth's President and Board of Trustees. The school is directly managed by a Dean (currently Matthew Slaughter) who is advised by a Board of Overseers that was established in 1951.[58]

Since the Tuck School offers only one degree, it does not contain formal academic departments as do other institutions. Instead, faculty are generally grouped in one or more of seven "academic areas": accounting, finance and economics, marketing, operations management and management science, strategy and management, international business, and management communication.[59] Tuck is also home to five research centers which organize research in different fields of business administration. The centers are meant to promote faculty research, establish liaisons between the Tuck School and the corporate world, and sponsor programs for Tuck as a whole; MBA students are occasionally invited to participate as fellows and research associates.[60] The five research centers are the William F. Achtmeyer Center for Global Leadership, the Center for Corporate Governance, the Center for International Business, the Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship, and the Glassmeyer/McNamee Center for Digital Strategies.[60]

Campus

[edit]
Buchanan Hall
Living and Learning Complex (LLC)

The Tuck School is located on the campus of Dartmouth College, which is situated in the rural, Upper Valley New England town of Hanover, New Hampshire. The campus of the Tuck School sits in a complex on the west side of Dartmouth's campus, near the Connecticut River.[61] Shortly after being founded in 1900, Tuck was housed in a single building across from the Green at the center of the campus.[62] In 1930, the institution moved into Stell, Chase, Tuck, and Woodbury Halls in its present location along the Tuck Mall.[63] Today, these original structures serve as four of Tuck's six academic and administrative buildings.[61]

Tuck emphasizes its residential character, describing residential life as "a foundation of the Tuck culture" and crediting it as "a reason that Tuck alumni are among the most loyal of all the business school [sic] in the world."[61][38] Tuck's isolated location has been described as an "image problem" for attracting successful applicants and faculty to its rural campus,[39] although some students cite the insular location as a positive trait for fostering intimacy and friendship.[64]

Currently, Tuck has five residential facilities: Buchanan Hall (constructed 1968), Whittemore Hall (constructed 2000), and Pineau-Valencienne Hall, Achtmeyer Hall, and Raether Hall (2008). The last three make up the new complex called the Tuck Living and Learning Complex that houses 95 additional students as well as classrooms and study space serves as the home for nearly half of first-year Tuck students. It was constructed in 2008 for around $27.2 million.[65] The Tuck School shares the Murdough Center (containing the Feldberg Business and Engineering Library) with the adjacent Thayer School of Engineering.[66] The Tuck campus is serviced by Byrne Hall, a dining facility operated by Dartmouth Dining Services.[67]

People

[edit]

Students

[edit]

Tuck students, known as "Tuckies", typically number about 560 students in total — 280 per class — with international students making up about 37% of the student body.[68] The school has a high percentage of women (44% vs. Harvard's 41% and Columbia's 41%) and has been recognized as having "the best representation of women among top-tier M.B.A. programs" alongside Wharton's MBA program.[69][68][70] This marks an 11% increase in female representation at Tuck from 2013.[71] 23% of Tuck's student body are domestic U.S. minorities, a relatively average figure when compared to HBS (28%) and MIT Sloan (15%).[72][73][68] Tuck has addressed previous diversity shortcomings by offering additional scholarships to minority applicants and by promoting such programs as the annual Tuck Diversity Conference and participation in the Forté Foundation for women in business.[39][74][75]

Like many other business schools, Tuck encourages its students to have post-undergraduate work experience before applying to the MBA program.[76][77] The average incoming student has five years of full-time work experience, and the average student age is 28, ranging from 25 to 32 years.[3][78]

Alumni

[edit]

Tuck reports that they have approximately 10,300 living alumni living across 74 different countries.[79] Tuck also claims the highest percentage of alumni donors of any business school in the world at about a 70% giving rate among its alumni.[80] 2017 was the eleventh consecutive year in which greater than two thirds of all alumni have contributed to the school.[79]

Alumni of Tuck's Executive Training program include:

Faculty

[edit]

As of the 2017-2018 academic year, the Tuck School of Business employs 53 full-time faculty members and currently maintains a student-faculty ratio of ~10:1.[68] 96% of these full time members are either tenured or on track to be tenured, and 36% of the faculty are of international origin.[68]

Among Tuck's notable professors and instructors are Professor of Economics Andrew Bernard, Professor of Marketing Kevin Lane Keller, Professor of Finance Kenneth French, Professor of Finance Gordon Phillips,[93] Professor of International Economics Matthew J. Slaughter, Professor of International Business Vijay Govindarajan, Professor of Strategic Management Richard D'Aveni, and Professor of Operations Management M. Eric Johnson.[94] Former faculty include industrial efficiency pioneer Frederick Winslow Taylor,[95] marketing professor Brian Wansink,[96] and Michael Jensen, who taught as a visiting scholar.[97]
