Welcome to another edition of Trivia Tuesday, where we share school-specific details with the goal of highlighting important nuances of leading MBA programs.
Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Dartmouth/Tuck, which has one of the most-developed student-administered Honor Codes among leading MBA programs. Incoming Tuck students agree to abide by the Honor Principle, which states:
“Integrity and honesty in the performance of academic activities, both in the classroom and outside, are essential to the educational experience for which the Tuck School has always stood. Each member of the Tuck community accepts the personal responsibility to uphold and defend high ethical standards in all academic endeavors, and to promote an atmosphere in which honest and imaginative work may flourish.”
One interesting impact of the Honor Principle on academic life is that many mid-terms and finals at Tuck are unproctored or given as take-home exams – this is true even if the exam is closed-book or has a specific time limit. The trust fostered by the Honor Principle is considered an important component of the close-knit community for which Tuck is known.
For more information on Tuck’s honor code and community, check out our archived blog postings on the school, the Clear Admit School Guide to Tuck, or the Tuck website.
