Admitted Master's Students
Congratulations on your admission to Duke Master’s Programs in Engineering!
We are excited for you to join our Duke Engineering master's student community and look forward to assisting you with enrollment.
Spring 2020 Orientation
All students starting in Spring 2020 will participate in a mandatory orientation on Monday, January 6. Importantly, students should aim to be in Durham, North Carolina, at least a few days before orientation. Please keep this timeline in mind as you start to plan your journey to Duke.
Arriving a few days early will give you time to adjust and get settled in Durham before orientation begins.
International students may arrive in the United States up to 30 days before the first day of classes—which means they may arrive on or after Tuesday, December 10, 2019.
The first day of Spring 2020 classes is Wednesday, January 8.
