Your Sophomore Year Experience (SYE) continues on the strength of Duke's First-Year Experience and offers a series of programs and resources designed to help sophomores achieve a smooth transition throughout their second year at Duke.
During the second year of college, students begin to take on added responsibilities and make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Sophomores struggle with Major Declaration, Career Indecision, and Social Acclimation, while pursuing efforts in Study Abroad, Civic Engagement, Organizational Involvement and Class Connection.
The goal of the Sophomore Experience is to serve as a roadmap throughout this process. Our hope is that students will experience a successful second year at Duke.
