Doc+ is an intensive six-week summer program for undergraduate students focused on the documentary arts. Hosted by the Center for Documentary Studies, the program offers students the opportunity to explore diverse mediums — such as photography, film, audio and oral history — while working in small teams under the mentorship of a creative project partner.
Each team will collaborate on a unique documentary project that contributes to their creative partner’s documentary work. Throughout the program, students will also participate in hands-on workshops, building skills in areas like film editing and darkroom techniques. By the end of the program, students will have made a meaningful contribution to a documentary project with real-world impact.
Doc+ takes place during Summer Session 1. Students will receive a stipend of $3,500 for their participation or room and board in on-campus housing.
Applications for Doc+ 2025 will open on February 3. To express early interest, please complete the form below. If you have questions, please write to cdsdocplus@duke.edu.
