Prospective Families

Joining the Duke Family

Sending your child to college can be as daunting as it is exciting. That’s why we want to help make the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your child—because when your child joins the Duke community, so do you.

Duke does a phenomenal job of listening to their community and making sure it’s a safe place to be yourself.
