Global Literacy and Impact Masterclasses
The LDNS Lab Masterclass Series, offered through the Lab’s Ambassador-in-Residence, engages the ASU community and ultimately all audiences in partnership with the university, in a broad–ranging conversation about America’s foreign policy and the country’s role in world affairs.
Applying Past Masterclasses Toward Your Certificate
You may be able to count previously completed masterclasses toward the requirements for the Global Literacy and Impact Certificate and/or the Practical Diplomacy and International Leadership Certificate. The table below shows how earlier course titles align with their updated titles. If you have taken any of these masterclasses under their former names, they will still apply for credit toward the new certificate programs.
