Duke University Reviews

"This program has great faculty and students! The requirements are not too intense, so that leaves a good amount of time for research. The cost of living is very low in Durham and there are always a lot of things happening on the weekend. It's a great place to live as a graduate student!"

"The Doctorate of Nursing Practice program at Duke University is fairly new, yet the program already feels remarkably practiced. This is due to the highly qualified staff and faculty members."

"The program is generally well-designed, with most of the classes and assignments being valuable, rather than busywork. The faculty are genuinely interested in seeing us succeed, not just in school, but in preparing us for the workplace once school is finished. The program is very intense and one cannot expect to succeed if an extensive social life needs to figure highly in your grad school experience."

"The Duke Executive MBA program is making me realize that I'm capable of packing much more into my day than I had ever thought possible. The education and networking experience is invaluable as well."

"Excellent academic institution, good preparation for ministry, wonderful community, and high cost."

"The program prepares you for your next level in terms of career advancement. This is a great investment and one will not regret it. The networking is fantastic with people coming from different background, cultures and the graduate network is priceless."

"Pros: world class training, exposure to the latest treatments in healthcare, a good exposure to the choices in fields of specialization, a number of clinical sites available, supportive faculty, rigorous curriculum to drive one to perform one's best while staying focused, opportunities for networking."

"Excellent School! Very Organized! Very involved advisors and instructors."

"Duke Cross Continent MBA has been great for me. It has provided me an opportunity to earn an MBA from a top-notch program, while at the same time affords me the flexibility to still work full time and live a balanced life."

"This Master's degree program is a great experience for motivated students who want a practical education in the field of their choice. The financial aid options were limited."

"Pros: Professional professors, Diversity of courses, use of new technologies, availibility of professors, facilities Cons: our department is located on different buildings and we don't have our seperate building."

"Pros: Excellent faculty, a rigorous program, the portfolio system, good funding and low-cost of living. Cons: Too much to do and too little time. There are lots of options for graduate students in History to be interdisciplinary and one really needs to chart out one's course from the beginning in order to stay on track."

"This is a great accelerated BSN program. You are supported, and it is of utmost importance to professors/staff that you succeed. The program instills the same value amongst peers to support each other through the end. It is a very, very busy program and equally as expensive. Overall, it is great if ABSN is what you are looking for!"

"Pros are that I have the best advisor! And I haven't met anyone on the Duke faculty that I haven't liked."

"Pro: Strong Faculty Background, feel like I am learning so much, many oppertunities, great education con: Placement office is hard to work with"

"Duke's psychology program is excellent. The faculty get along well (unlike some R1 schools where faculty members compete with one another and discourage collaboration) and are generally very accessible and supportive. Although the workload and demands are quite high, the environment is very collegial rather than competitive. One of the only cons about the psychology program is structural: labs are in different buildings, which makes it more difficult for students/labs to collaborate with one another, despite the fact that Duke supports interdisciplinary research."

"Duke's Fuqua School of Business is well worth the time and money invested. It's diverse student body lends itself to a holistic learning environment beyond the fundamentals of management education. There are many opportunities to study overseas and to engage with professors on their academic research. Some of the drawbacks include a lackluster career management centers, the resources of which are stretched thin due to several competing academic programs. Additionally, the school's facilities, while new, are still cramped."

"Pros: Quality education, Knowledgeable helpful instructors and administration, and dual teaching models (campus and distance learning). Cons: Financial Aid and Tuition Costs"

"Biggest Pros are the accessibility to great professors and Duke's presence all over the country."

"Great professors, great network, great support from the faculty and staff."
