The microcredential

Microcredentials are fast, flexible learning formats that sharpen or add trend-driven skills to your career portfolio.

With support from College of Business academic advisors, microcredentials also can be the building blocks of your bachelor’s degree.

Microcredentials, about 8 to 12 credits or three to five classes, are available to nondegree-seeking students, degree-seeking students and working professionals.

A mircrocredential is not noted on your official transcript, but you’ll earn an online badge for your professional profile.
