In addition to majors and minors, Duke offers a number of interdisciplinary certificate programs of study. These uniquely interdisciplinary courses of study are not available within any single academic unit, but rather offer students cross-field experience around a multidimensional topic. Duke offers 20 undergraduate and 32 graduate certificates, usually requiring coursework from among different departments.
To REGISTER for a certificate:
- undergraduate students should visit the Registrar's Office at Smith Warehouse, 114 S. Buchanan Blvd., Bay 9, Room A289
- graduate students (in the Graduate School) should submit a Graduate Certificate Program Application, which must be signed by the Director of the Graduate Certificate Program
- professional students should contact their school or follow the links to certificates below for registration information.
