A joint master's degree program in global sustainability science between ASU and Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany, has received German accreditation. S
tudents who enroll in the program will spend time at both universities, work on joint projects and receive a degree from both.
Accreditation marks a major milestone for the program, which is the first of its kind at ASU and represents the university's global education efforts.
“Reaching sustainable development goals requires a different type of international education and new forms of institutional collaborations among universities and other institutions of higher learning,” said ASU President’s Professor
Manfred Laubichler, who directs the joint ASU-Leuphana Center for Global Sustainability and Cultural Transformation.
ASU and Leuphana also collaborated on a “global classroom” project taught by professors from both institutions and are working together on an increasing number of research projects.
