About Duke University

Duke University's homepage presents the university's academic and research community. Its current featured section, "America at 250," describes Duke's work and community engagement in relation to the 250th anniversary of the United States. The content is grouped under themes including Democracy's Long Journey, Checks and Balances, Equality, Fundamental Freedoms, Pursuit of Progress, and Promote the General Welfare.

The page links to faculty essays on the Declaration of Independence, a podcast on learning from others, and profiles of specific programs. These include the Durham Early College for Health Sciences, a Duke law clinic's work on special education rights, and a defense innovation training program. The excerpt is an overview and does not give full program details, admissions information, or a complete catalog of offerings.
