Welcome to Summer Session 2008!

Summer Session at Duke is different. It's a special chance to focus your interests on a particular subject, engage with your professors on a daily basis and work intensively with your peers in a class that's smaller than you will find during the regular academic year. If you 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 keeps campus life colorful, while a full slate of concerts fills summer nights at the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre. 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. If you're not a regular Duke student, you may still qualify for this distinctive summer experience. If you are now, or have been, a student in good standing at an accredited institu¬tion of higher learning, and want undergraduate courses for academic, professional or personal enrichment, then you are 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.
