Dickinson College uses the list of schools below as an official peer group for benchmarking institutional performance on both quantitative and qualitative measures as well as for strategic planning on a wide range of issues.

- Connecticut College
- Denison University
- Franklin & Marshall College
- Gettysburg College
- Kenyon College
- Lafayette College
- Skidmore College
- Union College
For additional information about how this list was constructed, contact Darren Glass, the Director of Analytics and Institutional Research.
