is a church-affiliated university. Founded as the Union Institute in
1838, it was reorganized as a teachers college in 1851,
became a liberal arts college in 1859, and was renamed
Duke University in 1924. Programs are offered through the Trinity
College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, and
the Graduate School. Its 9,350-acre campus, including many buildings in
the English Gothic architecture style, is located in a residential
section of Durham. Duke takes strategic planning seriously and will
submitted a new five-year university plan “Making a Difference” in
Fall 2006. Duke???s core values include interdisciplinarity, knowledge in
the service of society, internationalization, diversity, and affordability and access.
Goals within the new plan include: to increase the
capacity of faculty to develop and communicate disciplinary and interdisciplinary
knowledge; to strengthen the engagement of the University in real
world issues; to attract the best graduate students and make
them full partners in the creation and transmission of knowledge;
to foster in undergraduate students a passion for learning and
a commitment to make a real difference in the world;
to strengthen the arts; and to lead and innovate in
the creation, management, and delivery of scholarly resources in support
of teaching and research. Location/Contact
