Some media reports have portrayed Duke as a white and wealthy enclave. Is that correct?
No. Such accounts are not only simplistic; they’re wrong. In recent years, Duke has emerged as among the most diverse of the nation’s leading universities. More than a third of its undergraduates are students of color. The percentage of African-American faculty members doubled in a ten-year span and enhancing faculty diversity remains a major priority. A third of all graduate and professional students come from other countries, as do many undergraduates and faculty. With a major Financial Aid Initiative under way, Duke is strengthening a need-blind admissions policy that keeps the door open to all qualified applicants, regardless of their family incomes. Duke students come from all 50 states and from 85 countries around the world.
