Our current international student population is over 3000 students and Duke has received national recognition for our internationalization efforts. Each school has an Admissions Office dedicated to admitting new students.
All non-immigrants traveling to the U.S. must request a visa, which reflects their planned activities in the U.S.
Immigration regulations require all students/scholars in F-1 and J-1 status to register with the host institution. Duke requires that all other new international students in different visa classes register as well.
It is the responsibility of each international visitor to the United States to maintain proper immigration status, to refrain from unauthorized work, and to file for an extension of stay in a timely manner. Our Maintaining Status webpage will help you understand how to meet those responsibilities so that you can qualify for and take advantage of the options that your temporary status in the United States offers.
