This list includes regular members of the graduate faculty on sabbatical leave but does not include faculty members at nearby UNC-Chapel Hill or North Carolina State University. Graduate students may take courses at these institutions, and these faculty members frequently serve on preliminary exam and dissertation committees. Such committees must, however, include three faculty members from the Duke Graduate Program in Religion, as listed here.
