Since 1996, Duke undergraduates have participated in the Duke in Los Angeles program in the spring to learn about cinema with local experts. In 2009, the focus and themes of the program were expanded to include the exploration of L.A. as the model for a new global culture. In addition to studying film and the U.S. culture industries, students now examine L.A. as a microcosm of contemporary globalization through perspectives in cultural studies, Africana studies, Chicano studies, visual studies, women's studies, art, border studies, and more. The semester also includes a course at the University of Southern California and an internship for Duke credit.
