Program II is an individualized program of study designed by students themselves to meet their unique academic and intellectual goals. Though this program, you can propose an individualized Jewish studies degree program that meets your specific interests. You select a faculty advisor and, in consultation with that advisor, plan and submit an online application to the sponsoring department or program and to the Committee on Program II of the Arts & Sciences Council, which must approve your program of study.
You may apply to Program II no earlier than the end of your second semester at Duke and no later than the end of your fifth semester.
