For Parents: Facts and Figures

We're the first to say that the advantages of a Duke education go far beyond impressive statistics, an incredible campus, and an outstanding reputation. But we also appreciate that some basic information about Duke, and all that it offers, can be helpful as you and your son or daughter consider which college to attend. If you'd like an overview of some university highlights, research and arts facilities, and facts and figures, you'd probably like to read Duke at a Glance and browse the About Duke section of the university's Web site.

We hope you'll take some time to read through the information on our Web site to learn more about Duke's remarkable community of learners and how our students have utilized the available resources here. For those who want basic information at their fingertips, we've created a Quick Facts guide that includes basic information about the Duke campus, our undergraduates, academic offerings, life at Duke, and admissions. The guide also includes Web links to relevant sections of our Web site so you can read about some of these areas in more detail.
