Duke University Eligibility Criteria

The requirements can vary for different courses. However, given below is the general eligibility every student needs to meet to study at Duke.

Duke University Undergraduate Requirements

You would need to submit English-translated versions of all your high-school and Class 12th completion certificates. Though the university does not have a specific GPA requirement, an equivalent of 75% is needed, along with a solid non-academic portfolio. Valid scores in tests like the SAT or the ACT are also accepted, while some courses may also need you to submit essays and clear a personal interview round. An overall IELTS score of 7, or a TOEFL-iBT score of 100, is good enough to prove your English proficiency.

Duke University Graduate Requirements

For PG courses, you should have completed a 4-year UG degree from a recognized Indian college or university. If you don't have a 4-year UG degree, you would have to get it evaluated by a third-party service like WES. You would also need to submit a Life Experiences Statement, while some courses also require a valid GRE score.
