Students gain an early, immersive college experience at a top university, learning directly from Duke Ph.D. students and faculty while focusing on specialized, advanced topics in econometrics.
The Duke University Pre-College Applied Econometrics program offers high school students an immersive experience at the intersection of economics, mathematics, and statistics. Participants will delve into empirical research in microeconomics, with a focus on labor economics, public economics, and industrial organization. The curriculum balances foundational knowledge with practical application, featuring direct instruction from Duke Ph.D. students, faculty, and affiliated instructors, as well as expert engagement through guest speakers. Students will gain hands-on experience analyzing real-world data using statistical software and develop critical thinking skills. The program culminates in a required capstone project, allowing students to apply their learning to independent analysis of current research. Beyond academics, the residential program provides a taste of college life, with opportunities for structured study, project development, leadership workshops, and college connection presentations.
A typical day includes two academic blocks (9:00 AM – 12:15 PM and 1:30 PM – 4:45 PM) with a balance of presentations, lectures, and experiential hands-on learning, followed by structured study time, project development, leadership workshops, and college connection presentations for residential students.
This program is ideal for academically motivated high school students (current 9th-12th graders) with a 3.0+ GPA who are interested in exploring college-level economics, mathematics, and statistics, and gaining practical experience in data analysis.
