Microcredential Requirements
A microcredential from the University covers a narrowly defined skill or competency that may involve credit-bearing courses and/or non-credit bearing activities or co-curricular experiences (e.g., workshops, service projects, specific work experience, online modules, short experiential learning opportunities). Credit-bearing courses refer to traditional academic courses that award university credit and appear on the official transcript. To be awarded a certificate of completion for a microcredential requires the completion of one of the following:
- at least three but no more than twelve semester hours of graduate or professional coursework completed with a “B” or higher with at least 50% of the coursework completed at the University.
- five to 50 learning hours of non-credit bearing activities and/or co-curricular experiences.
- at least one but no more than twelve semester hours of coursework and five to 50 learning hours of non-credit bearing activities and/or co-curricular experiences. Graduate or professional coursework completed with a “B” or higher.
