Duke Summer Sessions
Summer Session at Duke provides students a chance to focus their interests on a particular subject, engage with their professors on a daily basis, and work intensively with their peers in classes smaller than they find during the regular academic year. For those who choose to live on campus, Central Campus Apartments affords a degree of independence that many students find to be a welcome change from dorm life.
Summer is also a time to get to know the culture of Durham and the greater Triangle area. Durham Bulls’ baseball is in full swing by May when Term I of Summer Session begins. Term II starts the same week as the annual Festival on the Eno River. The American Dance Festival also keeps campus life colorful, while a full slate of concerts fills summer nights at Alltel Pavilion in Raleigh. On weekends, explore the North Carolina coast and its mountains, both only a three-hour drive away.
Duke students come to Summer Session to get ahead, to catch up on a difficult subject, or to study a special topic they can’t fit into their schedules during the regular academic year. Students in good standing at accredited institutions of higher learning may be eligible to enroll in summer courses at Duke. High school graduates accepted for fall matriculation at accredited colleges and universities are also invited to register.
