SAGE Program

STEM Advancement through Group Engagement (SAGE) at Duke University is an opportunity for undergraduate students in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Math, and Physics to work in a small group setting in weekly study sessions. Led by specially trained SAGE Peer Facilitators, groups engage in weekly activities that are closely correlated with each course. SAGE helps students learn how to study in specific STEM courses, provides extra support for the challenging material, and fosters a collaborative and proactive community of learners.

Learn more about how SAGE works, as well as the benefits and outcomes of being a SAGE participant.
