Grad School Isn’t Easy. We Get That.
When you join the Duke Engineering community, you create bonds that go deeper than projects, papers and performance. We’re invested in your success, not only professionally but personally.
Duke isn’t a place for sink-or-swim attitudes. We’re about building a support network that works to keep everyone afloat and striving for their goals. We’re about making connections, lasting and beneficial.

Engaging Socially
Our warm and welcoming graduate student community is an active one. Students and staff work together to build a calendar of engaging events—from the professional to the purely social. Who’s up for some badminton?
