Micro-Credential

A Micro-Credential certifies that a student has attained a specified competency or skill set, generally by completing a group of 2 to 4 related courses. The courses can be at the undergraduate or graduate level; can be taken within or outside a student’s major, minor, or other degree program; and the Micro-Credential can be awarded to non-matriculated as well as matriculated students. The coursework included as part of any micro-credential is “stackable” - that is, it may be applied towards completion of an academic minor, another Micro-Credential, or the requirements of a degree or certificate program.

Upon completion of a Micro-Credential’s requirements, students will be issued a digital icon, sometimes called a “digital badge,” from a Micro-Credential platform that can be embedded in social media (e.g. LinkedIn) and electronic resumes. These icons will be linked to pages with validating information. Micro-Credentials allow students to study topics that broaden their experiences and skill sets and highlight specific competencies gained through coursework and activities when applying for employment or further study.

Students who register for a micro-credential but do not complete the specific requirements of that micro-credential will not earn the micro-credential or the associated digital badge, but will earn credit for the courses completed, according to specific requirements of the course (described in the course syllabus) and the policies of the College.
