One of the best ways to find out if a program is a good fit for you is to talk to a student who has studied away on that program! Use the resources below to connect with students who have done the program(s) you are interested in pursuing.
Study Away Ambassadors
The Study Away Ambassadors are alumni of study away programs – both Duke-Administered and Duke-Approved – who have volunteered to be a resource for prospective students. The GEO Ambassador Directory is a master spreadsheet you can filter by program, country, major, graduation year, and special topics related to study away.
Feel free to reach out to any student listed in the directory.
Q+A Video Playlist
Check out the 'Ask Away' playlist of various Duke students answering questions about their study away experience.
Past Participant Contact Lists
Find even more Duke students who have studied away. Using your NetID, you can access GEO’s Past Participant Contact Lists. These rosters from past cohorts of both Duke-In and Duke-Approved study away programs offer a long list of students who have agreed to provide their contact information to others seeking advice.
You must be logged in with a Duke NetID to access the contact lists. If you are a non-Duke student wishing to contact former participants, please request names and emails for specific programs at globaled@duke.edu.
