Duke and Hybrid Credit

Duke Credit

In study away courses bearing Duke credit:

  • You earn Duke grades that are factored into your GPA. Your grades are considered in determining your eligibility for academic honors and recognition such as Dean’s List.
  • Courses count towards graduation, just like any Duke class.
  • Courses count towards your major, minor, or certificate, just like any Duke class.
  • You can fulfill Areas of Knowledge (ALP, CZ, NS, QS, SS).
  • You can fulfill Modes of Inquiry (CCI, STS, EI, W, R).
  • You can fulfill the (FL) Mode of Inquiry requirement.

Only grades earned in Duke courses on Duke-Administered study away programs are considered in determining a student’s eligibility for academic recognition and honors such as Dean’s List.

Duke-Administered Summer Programs

All courses taken on a Duke-Administered summer program are regular Duke courses and count for letter grades that factor into the student’s GPA—the same as if taken on campus.

Duke-Administered Semester Programs

On Duke-Administered semester programs, certain, designated courses are eligible to earn full Duke credit and curricular codes with Duke grades that count in the GPA.

On the following semester programs, students take all courses for Duke credit.

  • Duke in Berlin (Fall semester)
  • Duke in D.C.
  • Duke in New York: Financial Markets
  • Duke in Venice
  • ICCS

 

Hybrid Credit

Some Duke-Administered semester programs are designed with a hybrid credit structure. This means you will enroll in a mix of Duke courses and courses offered at local universities, and, as a result, you will earn a mix of Duke credit and transfer credit  on the same program.

The following Duke-Administered semester programs are hybrid programs, with a combination of Duke course credit and transfer credit:

  • Duke-in-Berlin (Spring semester and Academic year)
  • Duke in France
  • Duke in Glasgow
  • Duke in L.A. 
  • Duke in Madrid
  • Duke in Madrid-Intermediate
  • Duke in New York: Creative Industries
