4+1 MS with Concentration in Digital Arts

Current Dartmouth students who are doing the minor in digital arts and have completed CS1 and CS10, can earn an MS degree in four terms, or 12 credits. Six of the credits are courses in computer science and art, the other six are independent research (see details in ORC). Students are encouraged to apply in the spring of their junior year. Students are also encouraged to work on projects in the DALI lab during the year, to augment your skill set (DALI.dartmouth.edu). If you are interested, please contact Lorie Loeb. Juniors and seniors can apply using the current graduate application form. There is no charge to apply. Full scholarships are available to qualifying students.

Dartmouth College tuition for 2023-2024 will be set in early 2023 (tuition for 2020-2021 was $19,265 per term). Merit-based tuition scholarships are available for those who qualify. Students also pay for the college health insurance plan, unless they have comparable insurance already. The insurance fee for 2023-2024 will be set in early 2023 (detailed information on current fees is available here). Students are responsible for covering their living expenses.

Note: Once they have been admitted, international students must provide written certification of financial support for the MS program.
