What are Microcredentials?

Microcredentials are mini-qualifications that signify your competency in a specific field or subject area. Unlike a traditional degree, microcredential programs pinpoint specific skill gaps, allowing you to quickly gain usable, industry-aligned credentials and job-related training.

Our professional education and continuing education initiatives offer a diverse range of learning experiences, including microcredentials that signify competency through the demonstration of knowledge, skills, or competencies. While other learning experiences also provide valuable opportunities, our microcredentials require a tangible display of expertise to ensure a comprehensive and effective learning journey.
