Information about the Graduate School
At Duke, the Graduate School serves as the intellectual and academic core of the university -- the place where we strive to achieve the fullest realization of the institution's two fundamental missions:
- to educate the next generation of teachers, scholars, researchers and professional leaders and
- to develop the fields of knowledge and research within which these leaders will work.
Duke's Graduate School is also uniquely positioned as the natural catalyst for progessive change and innovation across the institution. Over fifty graduate programs actively contribute to and draw from every other unit of the university -- from the undergraduate programs in Trinity College and the Pratt School of Engineering; to the graduate schools of divinity and the environment; to the professional schools of business, law, medicine, and nursing.
