The Duke University Program in Education provides opportunities for undergraduates to connect their liberal art studies and the academic work of their major with rigorous intellectual examination of the issues confronting schools, children, and communities.
Over the past several years, there has been a growing interest among Duke Undergraduates in the complex problems our nation faces and ways they as college graduates might contribute to resolving these issues. The Program in Education offers Undergraduates ways to explore these pressing problems involving issues of race, class, and gender, particularly in relation to schools. Through interactive academic coursework and hands-on service-learning experiences, undergraduates reflect deeply on underlying educational principles and gain the insight needed to become advocates for educational issues within the United States.
