The Focus Program is always open for proposals for new multidisciplinary clusters as well as individual courses. Focus offers first-year Duke students an opportunity to engage with ideas from the vantage points of different disciplines across the Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. Each "Cluster" includes a range of 3 or 4 interrelated seminars and features community interactions (within and between clusters).
For new cluster proposals, please see the Trinity Call for First-Year Experience Proposals (to be posted in early October 2026). For individual courses or other ways to get involved with the Focus Program, please contact Dr. Yana Lowry at focus@duke.edu.
