The Duke TIP Academy for Summer Studies offers an exceptional academic and social experience for those students who are among the top 5 percent of academically talented students in their grade level. Students in this program will experience challenging coursework and build friendships with other academically gifted peers. 

The Academy for Summer Studies courses held at Texas A&M University and at the University of Georgia cover a broad spectrum of topics developed specifically to take advantage of special facilities and expertise at each site. The Duke University Marine Lab program specializes in hands-on marine studies, and some classes will have extensive lab time and substantial fieldwork in surrounding marshes and on research vessels. The courses at all three sites were developed with gifted high school students in mind.

Only students who qualify at the Academy level are eligible for Academy courses. Review the SAT and ACT score requirements in Eligibility for specific information.
