Micro-credentials are smaller, shorter programs of study (3 or 4 designated courses) that are narrowly focused so that you can get specific skills in your chosen field. You'll earn a digital badge and official credit — it even goes on your transcript.
Micro-credentials are a flexible, affordable way to start or continue your educational journey. You'll only pay for a few classes, and you can even connect them to a degree in the future.
View Tuition DetailsWith micro-credentials, you'll get the credit you deserve during your educational journey! Imagine you just ran a marathon and sunk your teeth into that shiny medal — your glorious prize for crossing the finish line. What if you were also rewarded for all the hard work that led to that moment; those painful 5 am runs, the heavenly doughnuts you resisted and the workout plan you worshiped? That’s what a micro-credential is — credit for all of your hard work, not just the outcome.
If you're not ready to start a bachelor's or graduate program, micro-credentials are for you. Not only will you get specific skills in your chosen field, but you can also connect them to future degrees or certificates. It's another way we're removing barriers and giving you the ultimate flexibility to create your own educational journey.
In the digital age, fields of study are constantly changing and creating a need for continual education. Micro-credentials are a tangible way you can stay one step ahead. They're narrowly focused, so you get in-demand skills — both soft and technical — that employers need and your field demands.
