There are numerous reasons why Duke is a terrific place to pursue graduate studies in Sociology: an excellent, engaging program (100% retention in the past three years), generous financial support, a close-knit and non-competitive graduate student community, and top-tier professors. Add to that the diverse Triangle area (Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh)-consistently ranked as one of the top ten places to live in the country-and Duke's attractiveness only increases. The following pages provide a sense of what it is like to live and study at Duke, focusing particularly on the graduate student experience. We hope this is useful and informative, but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our graduate student representatives, Liz Essary, and Jill Powers or our faculty contact, John Wilson . For more information about the academic program and its requirements, go to the Graduate Program page.
