Micro-credentials can be offered online, in the classroom, or via a hybrid of both.

什么是微证书?

Today’s competitive workforce is in a constant state of evolution. Job descriptions and responsibilities are frequently evaluated, 更新和重新排列, and new skills are constantly needed to ensure incumbent and new employees can meet the demands of changing industries and technology.

Micro-credentials address this dynamic through coursework that is dramatically trimmed and strategically designed to focus on specific relevant skills.

How is a Micro-Credential different than a Degree or 证书 program?

时间: Micro-credential programs are just 9 to 15 credit hours and can be earned in as quickly as one semester. (证书 and associate 学位 programs range from 30 – 62 credit hours take over one to three years!)

主题: Because a micro-credential is designed to cover specific skills, you only take courses relevant to your chosen topic. This laser-focus provides you an opportunity to concentrate on the development of a particular skill that adds to your repertoire in a very short period of time.

学费: 比如课程作业, the tuition for a micro-credential is trimmed down to just the cost of the course and related books and fees.

数字徽章: Micro-credential students earn a digital badge upon completion to highlight core skills and competencies that employers search for on resumes, LinkedIn pages and other social media channels.

成绩单: Micro-credentials also generate an official college transcript that documents their earned academic credit.

传输: Because micro-credentials result in SUNY academic college credit, this credit is transferable and can be applied toward additional academic 学位s in the future:
