Students learn from Duke Ph.D. and graduate students, as well as industry experts, while experiencing a structured college-style schedule with a focus on specialized topics.
Duke Pre-College Programs offer high school students an immersive academic experience on Duke's campus. Students engage in college-level coursework, exploring diverse fields such as engineering, chemistry, neuroscience, and AI. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, with a balance of presentations, lectures, and experiential activities. Participants develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through projects and workshops. Beyond academics, students gain valuable insight into college life by residing in dormitories, dining in campus facilities, and participating in extracurricular activities. The program aims to prepare students for their future academic journeys and potential careers by providing advanced content and fostering intellectual curiosity.
A typical day involves intensive academic sessions from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM, strategically divided into morning and afternoon blocks, with residential students having a fully programmed schedule until 9:00 PM that includes dedicated study time, project development, leadership workshops, and college connection presentations.
This program is best for academically motivated high school students (grades 9-12) with a 3.0+ GPA who want to explore college-level subjects, gain early exposure to university life, and develop essential academic and leadership skills.
