July 2020 The Mission of Duke University James B. Duke’s founding indenture of Duke University directed the members of the university to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wis dom, and promote human happiness.” To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate stu dents, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high eth ical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide-ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human dif­ference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth. By pursuing these objectives with vision and integrity, Duke University seeks to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and stimulate the best effort of all who are associated with the university; to contribute in diverse ways to the local community, the state, the nation and the world; and to attain and maintain a place of real leadership in all that we do. — Adopted by the Board of Trustees on February 23, 2001 3 Contents 3 The Mission of Duke University 22 General Information 6 2020-2021 Academic Calendar History of Duke University Mission of the Sanford School of Public 8 Administration Policy 12 Faculty Undergraduate Degree Graduate Degrees Faculty Administration History of the Sanford School Core Faculty Career Services Professors Emeriti Facilities Faculty with Secondary Appointments in Public The Sanford School Code of Professional Policy Conduct Other Affiliated Faculty Bill Snead 4 Contents Bill Snead 30 Undergraduate Degree Programs 57 Master of International Admission Development Policy (MIDP) Academic Information Admissions Financial Aid Registration The Major Degree Programs Major Requirements Academic Guidelines Public Policy Academic Advisor Estimated Cost of Attendance Internship Program Financial Awards Departmental Graduation with Distinction Other DCID Training Programs and Activities Other Undergraduate Programs 65 PhD in Public Policy 34 Graduate Degree Programs Graduate School Requirements 36 Master of Public Policy (MPP) Program Requirements Overview Core Course Requirements Admissions Disciplinary Concentration Requirements Visiting Duke and the MPP Program Overview Registration Qualifying Requirements, Dissertation, and Graduation Requirements Defense Grades The MA in Public Policy Electives and Concentrations University Program in Environmental Policy Master’s Project (UPEP) Guidelines for Sanford Internship Fund Financial Aid Estimated Cost of Attendance Faculty Financial Aid Awards, Loans, and Student Financial Information Accounts 48 International Master of 72 Research Centers and Programs Environmental Policy (iMEP) Sanford Affiliates (Duke Kunshan University) Duke University Research Centers and Institutes Related to Public Policy Admissions Visiting Duke Kunshan and the iMEP Program 76 Courses of Instruction Registration Courses in Public Policy (PUBPOL) Study Away Semester at Duke 110 Index Grades Academic Standing Graduation Requirements Estimated Cost of Attendance Contents 5 2020-2021 Academic Calendar Summer 2020 Fall 2020 February July 17 M Registration begins for all summer sessions 27 M Bookbagging begins for Fall 2020 May August 13 W Term 1 classes begin.
