School of Medicine Academic Expectations

The course expectations for admission are set by the School of Medicine. These are not set by Duke MSTP. To learn more about Duke Academic Expectations, see the Duke Admissions website.

The Duke University School of Medicine strives to attract, educate, and nurture people who have extraordinary compassion and great intellect. Because we want the type of applicant whose heart and mind are of the best humanity can offer, we have consistently encouraged our applicants to have a broad and balanced undergraduate academic education as well as a wealth of life experiences. To accomplish this growth and maturation process, a rigorous, challenging, and interdisciplinary academic preparation in the sciences and humanities is of paramount importance.
