Duke University operates on a semester system with intakes primarily in Fall (August) and Spring (January). Most undergraduate programs prioritize Fall admissions, while graduate programs may offer both intakes depending on the department.
Application deadlines vary: Early Decision for undergraduates is November 1, Regular Decision is January 3. Graduate programs have rolling deadlines, typically between December and March. Professional schools like Law or Medicine have separate timelines. Always verify specific deadlines on Duke’s official website or department pages, as they may change annually.
