History

Established as The Carlisle Grammar School in 1773, James Wilson and John Montgomery were the main pushers for the school’s development. In 1783, six days after the Treaty of Paris was signed, the school became the first college to be founded in the newly independent nation, and was renamed Dickinson College, after the President of Pennsylvania John Dickinson and his wife, Mary Norris Dickinson.

When it was established, the college was located west of the Susquehanna River, making it the westernmost college in the country at that time. Between 1816 and 1821, the college was closed due to financial issues, and it closed again in 1832, this time due to a faculty curriculum dispute.Show more

    Excellent professors and a great option for international students

    The liberal arts and sciences program allows you to explore courses in any academic department while completing your chosen major, which can make each semester varied and give you a good all-around education. The college is small (about 2500 students), but very international with 15-20% international students. As an international student, I found the financial aid packages very generous compared to what other colleges offer. I was also provided with extra financial support when my father passed away, much of which does not need to be repaid. Student life can feel limited because the college is small, but there are plenty of things to get involved in, so I always had something exciting to do! Most of the professors I had were really great, and the small class size meant that I was able to form good relationships with my professors, which has been very helpful in applying to graduate school.
