The transformation of students into global citizens continues on campus, as well. In response to strong student interest, the Dickey Center is developing a modified major that will lead to an International Studies Certificate. Requirements include taking four new core courses on "Global Health," "Culture, Place and Identity," "Violence and Security," and "Globalization and Development," drawing on the resources and curriculum across the disciplines. The War and Peace Studies program run by the Dickey Center already offers a college minor, based upon a survey course, "War and Peace in the 20th Century," and through its Arctic Institute's course, "From Pole to Pole," the Dickey Center contributes to an understanding of human/environmental interactions at the earth's polar regions.

The Center's student programs thrive outside the classroom too. Students in the selective War and Peace Fellows program meet with faculty and visiting specialists to discuss issues of war and peace. A highlight of the program is an annual field trip to Washington to visit the Pentagon and the State Department and meet with Dartmouth graduates working in related fields.

The Dickey Center also supports student-run groups such as the World Affairs Council, which holds dinner discussions on international issues with guest specialists, World Outlook, an undergraduate journal written and edited by students, the Dartmouth Coalition for Global Health, a student networking and awareness-building group for issues in global health, and the Middle East Forum.
