Duke University seeks a talented, engaged student body that embodies the wide range of human experience; we believe that the diversity of our students makes our community stronger. If you¡¯d like to share a perspective you bring or experiences you¡¯ve had to help us understand you better¡ªperhaps related to a community you belong to or your family or cultural background¡ªwe encourage you to do so. Real people are reading your application, and we want to do our best to understand and appreciate the real people applying to Duke.

Duke¡¯s commitment to diversity and inclusion includes gender identity and sexual orientation. If you would like to share with us more about either, and have not done so elsewhere in the application, we invite you to do so here.

If you are applying to the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences as a first year applicant, please discuss why you consider Duke a good match for you. Is there something particular about Duke that attracts you?

If you are applying to the Pratt School of Engineering as either a first-year or transfer applicant, please discuss why you want to study engineering and why you would like to study at Duke.
