Our mission at DPS is to help Duke students turn their interest in policy into pre-professional opportunities, and ultimately, into careers that excite them.

We welcome students of all backgrounds, political affiliations, majors, policy interests, and ambitions. Whether you dream of working in the White House, at an immigration nonprofit, a national security think tank, doing public sector consulting, or anything of the sort, DPS is a community for you. And for those that aren’t sure what a career in policy even looks like, there’s even more for you here. We hope to see you soon!
