The Visiting International Student (VIS) Program is an opportunity for foreign-national students enrolled at universities outside the U.S. to study at Duke University for a fall semester or a full academic year.
The program is designed for international undergraduate students, usually in their second or third year of studies, who have a thorough knowledge of the English language.
For non-international visiting students requiring the inter-institutional approval form, please visit the University Registrar’s website for more information.
