P-IDP-RT-C - International Development Policy Certificate

The 15-credit model’s requirements must be fulfilled prior to, or in conjunction with graduation from the degree program, including the following:

• an International Development Economics course (3.0 course credits); and

• International Development Electives (12.0 course credits), of which 9.0 credits must be MIDP courses

Courses must be completed by the student’s final semester of study. A minimum of 9.0 course credits must be completed at Duke. Once the certificate has been added to the academic record it cannot be removed and will appear as discontinued if the requirements are  not met.

Lists of courses that fulfill each of the above categories are provided to students enrolled in the certificate each semester. Students interested in the concurrent International Development Policy certificate are strongly encouraged to discuss this with their graduate program advisor to ensure all requirements for the certificate may be completed in conjunction with their degree programs. Once a student has enrolled in the certificate, it cannot be removed from their academic record and will appear as “discontinued” if the requirements are not met by graduation.
