[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People often lump graduate & professional schools together, but in general professional schools like medicine & law aren’t built on top of undergraduate programs in the same subjects. Whereas “graduate” programs in subjects like history or physics typically ARE extensions of their corresponding undergraduate programs.

Where it gets messy is that schools of business & education are preparing students for professions, but often ARE built atop undergrad programs in those subjects, but not always.

If you look at what “graduate” programs Dartmouth has, they few and small. Their “professional” post-bachelors programs are where many of those 2205 are, and those are business and med schools (which don’t have undergrad programs there).

The main ways that that post-bachelors students have an impact on undergrads is if they are (1)getting attention from faculty that is detracting from the attention those profs can devote to undergrads, and (2) if the post-bachelor’s students are teaching undergrad courses. Neither of these seem to be common at Dartmouth, which ls why people see it as offering an atmosphere more similar to Williams than to Cornell. [/quote]

Great post. Thank you.[/quote]
