According to College Board and IPEDS, by far the most popular majors at Duke are the following 8. </p>
<p>Biology 9% – #12 overall, #5 Ecology

<p>So of all Duke undergraduates…</p>
<p>At least 27% are in a top 5 department.
At least 58% are in a top 10 department.
At least 80% are in a top 20 department.</p>
<p>I say “at least” because some Duke students are studying in other departments like Biological Anthropology, Medieval Studies, and Women’s Studies that are not ranked.</p>
