Duke University
Duke University is considered by many to be one of the top universities in the country. Duke has a reputation of excellence and prides itself on offering one of the best undergraduate and graduate level academic programs in nation. As such, competition to get into Duke is fierce. The admissions team at Duke University is highly selective, accepting only 10% of undergraduate applications each year. At the graduate level acceptance rates are even lower. The Duke University School of Medicine typically accepts less than 5% of applicants in any given year.
Duke University is divided into 10 academic schools, which include the Fuqua School of Business, the Pratt School of Engineering and the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences - the universities three most well-known and respected academic schools.
Duke offers an extensive selection of undergraduate majors and graduate degrees for students to choose from in areas such as ethnic studies, biological sciences, business, computer and information systems, engineering, English, foreign languages, health services, history, human services, legal and law studies, liberal arts, mathematics, natural resources and conservation, physical sciences, psychology, social sciences and theology and religious vocations. But if none of these programs suite your fancy, Duke provides students the ability to design their own interdisciplinary major.
While Duke University offers merit, need and diversity based institutional scholarships for select students, the majority of student financial aid comes from federal assistance program such as Pell grants and Stafford loans.
In addition to a world-class academic program, Duke also offers students a variety of on-campus organizations, groups, programs, events and activities to foster social, intellectual and creative development. Probably the most noteworthy of all social activities is the school's athletic program. Duke University has a long history of intramural and intercollegiate athletics. Many social activities and events revolve around the schools athletic programs.
In addition to receiving a stellar education in Medicine, Law, Business or one of its many academic programs, students will come away from Duke with a prestigious degree that will open doors and create career opportunities for years to come.
Online Degree Programs at Duke
Currently Duke University does not offer an extensive selection of online degree programs. Most degree programs must be completed on campus in a traditional class room setting. The university does however offer select graduate level online programs for business and community leaders.
