All departments within Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, except for the Health, Wellness and Physical Education department because it does not carry out research. A department listed on the Trinity College website (Public Policy Studies) is also excluded from the total number of departments because it is encompassed in the Sanford School of Public Policy. 2. Each of Duke's research-oriented schools. 3. Interdisciplinary centers and institutes that conduct research and are not contained entirely within a department or school (i.e., either faculty have appointments specific to the institute/center or primary faculty appointments are in multiple departments/schools).
