Micro-Credentials

Micro-credentials are digital badges that show you've built career-ready skills aligned with workforce demands. Unlike traditional college courses, micro-credentials highlight learning from a wide range of experiences, including workshops, projects, and short courses.

In the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM), we offer micro-credentials designed to help students, faculty, and staff showcase a broader skill set on their resumes, CVs, or LinkedIn profiles. Micro-credentials offer a strategic advantage to showcase your skills and stand out from other applicants when you're preparing to apply for internships, graduate school, or a job. They’re also a great way to explore new interests, gain confidence in emerging fields, and demonstrate initiative to future employers.
