Program Summary

Developed jointly by Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy and the Sanford School of Public Policy, this thematic certificate will provide undergraduate students with a cohesive program to study the policy foundations of the US health systems and health care. The program will be built on the Center’s strong interdisciplinary approach and include an introductory course on US health care systems, offer a range of health policy electives across campus, will include a large focus on the ability of policy to perpetuate and disrupt health inequities, and culminate in a capstone seminar. In addition, two substantial thematic experiences in health policy will be required. Students earning the certificate will gain health policy knowledge to apply in their careers and lived experiences.
