Can I apply Early Decision to Duke Kunshan University, and how does it work?

Duke Kunshan University does not offer Early Decision in the U.S. binding sense. Instead, it uses Early Action and Regular Decision for first-year applicants, so applying early can show interest and get you an earlier result, but it does not commit you to enroll. That means you can still apply to other colleges and compare options later.

DKU is a partnership between Duke University and Wuhan University, and students earn a Duke University degree at graduation. But admissions to DKU are handled specifically for DKU, not through Duke’s binding Early Decision plan. So if you want an early, non-binding option, DKU’s Early Action is the relevant plan.
