Individual Visits

The Nicholas School of the Environment is a vaccinated community, and the health and safety of our community and those who visit is our top priority. As such, all guests and visitors to Duke are strongly encouraged to be fully vaccinated, including the COVID-19 booster shot, prior to coming to campus. Visitors should also comply with Duke's COVID-19 Guidelines & Requirements for masking, social distancing and symptom reporting.

Please read the full NSOE COVID-19 Admissions Visitor Protocols below prior to scheduling your visit. 

It is important to note that campus visits are not required for admission to the Nicholas School, nor will they impact our review of your application.
