Build Career-Relevant Skills with Focused Micro-Credentials
At Post University, we mean it when we say we make education personal. From concentration options to online learning formats, we go beyond traditional degree programs to help you explore opportunities that align with your goals—personally and professionally.
That is where a focused micro-credential may be a helpful option, even alongside a degree program
What Is a Micro-Credential?
Micro-credentials are focused learning opportunities that may help you develop new skills and demonstrate those skills in a professional setting. Often completed as part of coursework, a micro-credential represents both the learning experience and the validation of skill mastery.
In many cases, that validation may be shared as a digital badge, a massive open online course (MOOC) completion, or a micro-award. These credentials may be added to professional profiles to help showcase newly developed competencies.
Micro-credentials can cover specialized technical skills (such as Google Analytics, FEMA Logistics, or CompTIA IT Fundamentals) as well as professional skills that apply across industries, such as emotional intelligence or conflict resolution. In some cases, learners may be able to stack multiple micro-credentials to support longer-term learning goals, including certificate requirements.
Whether you are a current student or a working professional, a micro-credential may help you strengthen a skill, explore a new area of interest, or pursue a personal goal. Offered online or on campus, micro-credentials provide a flexible way to build relevant skills and demonstrate progress.
