What are microcredentials?

Whether you’re a working professional or current student, microcredentials will help you develop relevant and demonstrable skills — giving you an edge in a competitive job market.

Microcredentials at UAlbany are a collection of courses and certificates that help learners build in-demand skills and competencies, which are documented by digital badges. Being able to clearly articulate your skills means you’ll be better positioned to advance in your career or on your academic pathway. Some for-credit microcredentials even count toward certificates or degrees.

Our programs are developed using established faculty governance processes and endorsed by UAlbany, so the skills you learn are portable, meaningful and high quality. The programs are offered at the undergraduate or graduate level, or as professional and continuing education. Many are conveniently offered online.
