Hello! I've been doing some research into Duke and I noticed that information about the size of their undergraduate student body is rather inconsistent. Can anyone confirm how many students are currently enrolled in undergraduate programs there? I'm trying to get a handle on what the student life is like. Thanks for your help!
Duke University boasts a vibrant undergraduate student population with approximately 6,500 enrolled students as part of their undergraduate programs. This number is subject to some fluctuation each year due to varying sizes of incoming classes and graduation rates, which could explain the inconsistencies you've found in your research. Such a size strikes a balance between a larger research university and a smaller liberal arts college, allowing students to enjoy a diverse range of perspectives and experiences, while still fostering a sense of community and individual attention. Do take note that these figures don't take into account Duke's graduate programs, which will contribute to the overall population of the campus and shape the atmosphere of student life as well.
