The Duke University Center for International and Global Studies aims to be a pioneer in the interdisciplinary configuration of area studies work towards an area-based, but not area-bound, perspective. In this context, the Duke University Center for International and Global Studies offers a graduate certificate in Interdisciplinary European Studies.

Certification of language competency will be approved by the Executive Committee. Attain competency in a second European language other than English equivalent to at least two semesters of college level study ( intermediate proficiency).
