The problem is that certificates are annoyingly set up. A class certainly could double count towards Econ/PPS, but certificates explicitly place limits on the overlap with a major. Majors are fine; minors are fine; those are very cooperative. Certificates, however, are very annoying in this regard. You can take all the coursework, but if it happens to be in your major, they’ll deny you the certificate.

This is one of the most annoying things about Duke, in my opinion.
