The FOCUS Program is an interdisciplinary living/learning community for first and second year students to expand the boundaries of their knowledge and work closely with distinguished faculty.
Participation in the Focus Program offers the following opportunities to first-year and second-year students: small group seminars, shared housing with other Focus students, integrated learning experiences across academic disciplines, and opportunities to venture beyond Duke's campus into the community.
