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 Together Duke academic strategic plan 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 Interdisciplinary Studies provides central leadership for the university-wide institutes, initiatives and centers, and runs the Bass Connections program, which brings together faculty, graduate students and undergraduates to tackle complex societal challenges in interdisciplinary research teams.
