Strategic Plan

Peers

Dickinson uses several lists of peer institutions for comparisons. The President's list has been designated by the President and his staff as our peers for strategic planning purposes. The Dean's group is used for comparing faculty salaries and other issues related to faculty. The Admissions Overlap list contains institutions who are our top competitors for first-year admissions.
