Juniors

Junior year provides you with a space to focus more purposefully on your major, develop a plan to complete graduation requirements, cultivate strategies to pursue professional as well as post graduate opportunities, and choose how you will leave your mark through your Dartmouth College experience.

You should also consult the Junior Year Checklist which will provide guidance as you plan your next steps.

• Continue to take advantage of the Center for Professional Development's resources for advice on corporate recruiting, applying for internships, and networking with alumni.
