    Duke University Reviews

    The academics at Duke University are top notch, and really cannot be compared to any other school. Initially the price tag will shock you, but the return on investment makes it well more worth you while. I am in the online PGC program for nursing, and I have been continually challenge at this university, more than any other program that I have been involved with. The professors take their time with you to ensure that you are comprehending the material, and truly want you to succeed. In fact, they say that so much that it gets annoying to hear...ha! Even more evident, is their care and concern for you when you are on campus, at the campus intensive event. Food is catered, and nothing is left unplanned. Student life and activities are top notch as well. If you are looking for an excellent academic experience, that is well rounded, than Duke University is most certainly for you.

    Amazing opportunities, world class professors and rigorous academics! Doable but amazing. This program connected me to all the right people that helped me to advance in my career and build a strong foundation.
    Duke University has a multitude of opportunities and connections. For graduate students, the health insurance is mostly ok, but not great. Overall, the departments care about the academic growth of their students. However, the university spent quite a bit of money on lawyers to stop the graduate students from unionizing as well as holding a student vote on whether to do so in a way that was completely biased. I would also check how much funding a program provides in comparison to the average length of the program (not what it should be, but how long students are actually taking). The continuing tuition fees for ABD graduate students are very high compared to fees at similar level institutions. I would suggest any prospective student look to see if the school/program will teach them the skills and provide a path with adequate support towards their goal.
