Campuses
Note: this article deals with campuses for TIP Summer Studies programs. For other TIP programs, see their respective pages.
Duke TIP Summer Studies is held at several campuses throughout the Southeastern US. TIP is split into two groups: the Academy for Summer Studies and the Center for Summer Studies. Students in the Academy or the Center may attend the Summer Studies program at Duke Marine Lab. For the purpose of this article, note that 1st years are rising 8th graders, 2nd years are rising 9th graders, 3rd years are rising 10th graders, and 4th years are rising 11th graders.
[edit] Academy
The Academy for Summer Studies, in general, is for lower-scoring students than the Center (for detailed score tables, see score criteria).
Appalachian State University and the University of Kansas house 1st and 2nd years.
Students may attend Summer Studies Programs at Texas A&M as 2nd, 3rd, or 4th years. Texas A&M was the last of the TIP campuses to house all 4 years, which it did until 2009, when University of Georgia came into existence as a TIP campus.
UGA became a TIP campus in 2009 with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years attending.
[edit] Center
Center students must score higher on the SAT or ACT than Academy students. Any given Center student may also choose to attend an Academy campus, but not vice versa.
Students in the Center may attend Davidson as 1st and 2nd years. Until 2009, Davidson was the only Center location for 1st years. In 2009, Trinity University opened and is home to 1st and 2nd year TIPsters.
Duke East is the oldest and largest of the TIP campuses, and is in fact the flagship campus of the program. Traditionally, courses are humanities-based, but there are usually also one or two math courses as well. East originally housed students of all four years, which enabled certain tipsters to achieve the mythical 4-4-4 status. Today, the campus serves as home to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years.
Duke West, East's intellectual counterpart, also houses 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year. However, its courses are based in science and math.
Wake Forest was also used for one year in 2008 as a Center campus for 1st and 2nd years, but was not thereafter.
