CONCURRENT GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY (IDP)
The Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) Program offers a Certificate in International Development Policy (IDP) to students enrolled in other graduate programs. This certificate is earned concurrently to your Master’s degree in another program. To earn the certificate, the following courses must be fulfilled prior to graduation from your degree program:
1. Development Management Seminar (3 credits)
2. Development Economics Seminar (3 credits)
3. Development-Oriented Elective (3 credits)
4. Internationally-Oriented Elective (3 credits)
Total required for completion of certificate: 12 credits
Due to space constraints, overall enrollment in the certificate program is limited to 30 students.
A list of available courses offered by the Duke Center for International Development (DCID) and the Sanford School of Public Policy which count toward the certificate will be sent to certificate enrollees via email from the IDP Program Coordinator each semester. Please note that enrollment in these seminars is on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is not guaranteed in any particular course. Priority in some courses is given to MIDP master’s degree students. Certificate enrollees should identify multiple courses under each category in the event that their first-choice course is unavailable. If you wish a course to be considered for the IDP certificate that is not included in the list below, write a brief explanation for why it should be considered, and specify the category under which the course fits in the IDP certificate. In addition, attach a copy of the syllabus and send all of these materials to the Program Coordinator no later than two weeks before the drop/add deadline of the semester in which you are taking the course. No last-minute courses will be considered.
Students interested in the IDP certificate should fill out the certificate application form. The student’s email address will be added to the certificate email distribution list so that they will receive course information during the course registration period each semester. Students may begin taking courses toward completion of the certificate before they are officially enrolled in the certificate program. Students will be enrolled on a space-available basis. Once the certificate has been added to the academic record it cannot be removed. Should the student fail to complete the requirements by the end of their graduation term, the certificate will appear as “discontinued” on their academic record. Students must notify the certificate coordinator of their intended graduation term during the registration period for that term so that the coordinator may confirm that all certificate requirements have been met.
For more information, please contact the IDP Certificate Coordinator r (919) 613-9223.
