Academic Advisors

Academic Advisors have been assigned! A few weeks ago, we sent you a survey to get your input on your interests to determine what advisor would best fit your needs. If you didn’t fill out the survey, or were still undecided, you have still been assigned to an advisor that will be willing to help you and can provide information to guide you through the program.

(You can find their contact information on your home page in Duke Hub, listed at the bottom right of the page)

Questions?

Feel free to reach out to Graduate Student Programs and Services (pratt-masters-studentservices@duke.edu) at any time. We are here to support you!

Have a great week!

Incoming students are welcome and encouraged to join! Workshops will be in mixed formats, including presentations, interviews, and moderated discussions. See attached flyer for details and registration links. Any questions about the series can be directed to Dr. Michelle M. Campbell at michelle.m.campbell@duke.edu
