Interdisciplinarity suffuses Duke’s schools and departments, with our university-wide institutes and initiatives serving as crucial incubators of innovations in research, pedagogy, and outreach.
The current academic strategic plan, Together Duke: Advancing Excellence through Community, strengthens the university’s commitments to fundamental scholarship, a transformative educational experience for every student, and engagement with communities around the world on pressing 21st-century challenges.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies provides central leadership for the university-wide interdisciplinary units—a cornerstone of Duke’s commitment to inquiry across disciplines—and runs the Bass Connections program, which brings together faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates to tackle complex societal challenges in interdisciplinary research teams.
