We strongly recommend that students and family members only consider private alternative loans after all types of federal and Dartmouth financing have been exhausted. Please meet with a Dartmouth financial aid officer to discuss options that are in your best interest.


When I talk to people who are frustrated with their student loan debt and want to get rid of it as soon as possible, there’s one question that comes up over and over again:
Should I consolidate my student loans?
It’s a tricky question both because there are a lot of variables to consider and because there’s a lot of misinformation out there about exactly what student loan consolidation is and how it can help you.
So my goal here is to correct that misinformation and show you exactly what student loan consolidation is and when it can help you.

Educators knew the online revolution would eventually envelop the physical classroom, but a torrent of near-revolutionary developments in the past month are proving that change is coming quicker than anyone imagined. In just 30 days, the largest school system in the U.S. began offeringcredit for online courses, a major university began awarding degrees without any class time required, and scores of public universities are moving their courses online. The point at which online higher education becomes mainstream is no longer in some fuzzy hypothetical future; the next president’s Secretary of Education will need an entire department dedicated to the massive transition.

The Master in Education (M.Ed.) programme is now available as a modular programme, and prospective applicants may choose one of the following study modes.
  • Option 1: Full-time (see note 1)
    4 modules and 20,000 word dissertation completed in one year
  • Option 2: Part-time (see note 2)

The doctorate (Latindoceo “I teach”) appeared in medieval Europe as a license to teach (Latinlicentia docendi) at a medieval university.[2] Its roots can be traced to the early church when the term "doctor" referred to the Apostleschurch fathers and other Christian authorities who taught and interpreted the Bible.[2] The right to grant a licentia docendi was originally reserved to the church which required the applicant to pass a test, to take oath of allegiance and pay a fee. The Third Council of the Lateran of 1179 guaranteed the access – now largely free of charge – of all able applicants, who were, however, still tested for aptitude by the ecclesiastic scholastic.[3] This right remained a bone of contention between the church authorities and the slowly emancipating universities, but was granted by the Pope to the University of Paris in 1231 where it became a universal license to teach (licentia ubique docendi).[3] However, while the licentia continued to hold a higher prestige than the bachelor's degree (Baccalaureus), it was ultimately reduced to an intermediate step to the Magister and doctorate, both of which now became the exclusive qualification for teaching.[3]
At the university, doctoral training was a form of apprenticeship to a guild.[4] The traditional term of study before new teachers were admitted to the guild of "Master of Arts", seven years, was the same as the term of apprenticeship for other occupations. Originally the terms "master" and "doctor" were synonymous,[5] but over time the doctorate came to be regarded as a higher qualification than the master degree.
