Dartmouth College
NH · AI Readiness #49 of 227
AIREDEX™ Score: 8.3 /10
Strong AI deployment and governance; gaps in executive role and AI credentials.
Dartmouth is a first-mover Ivy on campus-wide AI deployment with strong governance, multi-school curriculum integration, and active research centers. No permanent C-suite AI executive has been named, and a standalone undergraduate AI major, a cross-disciplinary AI minor open to all students, and a named AI fellowship are all still ahead.
