Academics: Only at Duke

What is it that sets Duke apart from other selective universities? To some, it’s the unparalleled research facilities and the outstanding athletics programs; to others, it’s the devoted faculty and the incredible range of academic programs and extracurricular opportunities. What makes Duke unique is, of course, all of these things—but there’s something else. It’s the distinct and pervasive sense of school spirit that's evident to anyone who sets foot on campus—it’s hard to explain, but once you’re here, you’ll know what we’re talking about. Because there is just no place like Duke.

The advantages of a Duke education go far beyond impressive statistics and an outstanding reputation. Many of our innovative programs, academic resources, and facilities are unparalleled—and completely unlike those found anywhere else in the world. We take pride in creating distinctive opportunities for our students that help instill in them a love of lifelong learning and appreciation for the obligations and rewards of citizenship.

At Duke, we offer an incomparable undergraduate experience, and we put a world of possibilities at our students' fingertips.
