Exploring College Options is a special informational program sponsored by the undergraduate admissions offices of five of the country’s leading universities:

• Duke University,

Representatives from each university will present information about their institution, discuss the application process, and answer questions on how to put together a strong and reflective application. Each program will end with breakout sessions where representatives will answer questions about their specific school and the application process. This fall, we are offering both in-person and virtual programs, with each program featuring the same content. All virtual programs are listed in Eastern Daylight Time.
