Courses in the Duke Graduate Academy will cover topics that are not typically included in a doctoral curriculum and will be led by Duke professors as well as working professionals. There are 22 courses offered this year on a broad range of subjects, including How To Build An App, How To Conduct Oral History Interviews, How To Work More Effectively In Teams, and How To Communicate Science More Effectively.
The Graduate Academy welcomes all Duke doctoral students, in all of Duke’s schools, at any stage of their doctoral studies. There are no prerequisites for any of the courses and all are offered at no charge. All we ask is that you come to each class having prepared in advance and being ready to engage.
