Microcredentials are short programs that provide relevant skills needed in today’s marketplace. They take less time to earn than a degree or certificate, often achievable in one year or less. Once the requirements of a microcredential are achieved, you are awarded proof in the form of a digital badge that can be added to your resume. Plus, sudents can take the credits earned for the microcredential and apply them to a certificate or associate degree either directly after completion or anytime in the future.
