Undergraduate Admissions

All applications for undergraduate studies at Duke University are processed through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and admission is offered by Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. All applicants should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions offers campus tours to prospective students and their families. However, prospective majors—both high school students and current Duke students—are also encouraged to contact the Directors of Undergraduate Studies at the Nicholas School for specific information on the majors.

Undergraduate Financial Aid

Duke University is strongly committed to its financial aid program and, for the four years of undergraduate enrollment, will meet 100 percent of the demonstrated need of each eligible admitted U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. Admissions decisions are made without reference to a student’s need for financial aid. Studens are strongly encouraged to apply for financial aid at the same time as for admission.

The Undergraduate Financial Aid Office handles all financial aid matters; financial aid programs include both merit and need-based scholarships, work-study, and federal loan and grant programs.
