Duke University Undergraduate Program Social Policy
http://sanford.duke.edu/undergraduate/curriculum/social.php
Curriculum
Social Policy has many facets, and four streams that draw on the core strengths of the Institute have been identified: The Poverty, Race, and Social Exclusion stream focuses on issues of equity related to socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity. The Child and Family Policy stream looks at children and education, as well as the changing American family system. In the Leadership and Ethics stream, students will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills while examining issues of ethics, social entrepreneurship, and public values. Students who chose the Environmental Policy stream will examine domestic and international environmental issues, and the role of economics in determining environmental policy. A sampling of past internships in these areas is included – for a full listing, visit the Undergraduate Internship Office.
