About half of Trinity students study away from Duke during their four years. Study away programs include opportunities in other countries as well as programs in U.S. cities such as New York City, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. Programs are offered in both semesters and in the summer. The Global Education Office (GEO) partners closely with the Office of Financial Aid to ensure that all students can participate in its programs. Learn more at: globaled.duke.edu

At Duke, research occurs in every department and discipline, and there are many ways for you to be involved. You don’t need to be interested in the sciences to have fabulous research opportunities available to you.  

To get involved in research, you can enroll in a course with an R (research) curriculum code, volunteer in a research lab, or on a research project. Many research opportunities are also associated with work-study jobs. Learn more at the Undergraduate Research Support Office.  

You may choose to combine coursework and out-of-the-classroom experiences for an in-depth look into one issue or to see applications in real life. Some interdisciplinary programs combine service, experience and coursework. You can join a group of undergraduate students, graduate students and professors to study a specific issue. You’ll learn more about these programs when you come to campus.
