What criteria are considered for acceptance into and participation in a DukeEngage program?
Beyond a solid, well-constructed application that demonstrates a clear understanding of a program’s requirements and expectations, or an individual project proposal that clearly meets the established needs of a community partner, students must honor the application deadline, and be in good academic and disciplinary standing. Because post-experience reflection and sharing with others in the Duke community is a central tenet of the DukeEngage philosophy, the program is restricted to applications from first-year students, sophomores and juniors who plan to return to campus following their DukeEngage experience. In-person interviews may also be part of the application process. Applications for individual projects require consultation with and the approval of a faculty mentor. Applications that involve research on human subjects may need the approval of the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
