The Tuck School offers only a single degree: the two-year, full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA). First-year MBA students at Tuck undertake a 32-week core curriculum in general management and a specialized First Year Project.[3][27][28] During their second year, students take 12 elective courses and design their own focused field of study.[29][30]
The school stresses a collaborative and teamwork-based approach to learning, which it touts as one of its assets for "building the interpersonal skills required for business leadership."[19] However, this emphasis on cooperative group learning has been criticized as too "touchy-feely" for students entering the competitive business world, and the emphasis on consensus-building as detrimental to students' ability to make quick, independent decisions.[20] The school's academic programs have also been criticized for not offering their students a broader international perspective, though the school has sought to remedy this by offering globally oriented courses, programs, and research.[20][31][32]

Students seeking other degrees can engage in one of seven dual-degree or joint-degree programs offered in conjunction with other academic institutions. Dual degrees include an MBA/Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, an MBA/Master of Public Affairs from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, an MBA/Master of Studies in Environmental Law from the Vermont Law School, and an MBA/Master of Arts from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Joint degrees include a Doctor of Medicine/MBA from Dartmouth Medical School, a Master of Public Health/MBA from the Dartmouth's Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences, and a Master of Engineering Management/MBA from Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering.[34] The school also offers a variety of second-year exchange programs at other institutions such as the Handelshochschule Leipzig in Germany, the HEC School of Management and the ESSEC Business School in Paris, IESE Business School in Barcelona, and the London Business School.[35]trading education
