UNLV Microcredentials

Gain New Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies

About Microcredentials

Whether you're looking to add verified competencies to your transcript or you want to upskill for career advancement, UNLV microcredentials are the answer. The digital badges earned through a microcredential can be displayed on transcripts and resumes. They emphasize workplace competencies for post-graduate success, re-skilling, or up-skilling. They are often short, focused credentials designed to provide in-demand skills, know-how, and experience.

UNLV's microcredentials are designed to benefit today's learners with high-quality, relevant, stackable, and portable digital badges. All of UNLV’s microcredentials are:

High Quality

Academic quality that supports learner success is the primary focus in creating and designing all UNLV microcredentials.

Relevant and In-Demand

UNLV microcredentials are designed based on current market data and are aligned with current and emerging workforce and industry sector needs.

Portable

You can take your documented competencies with you wherever you go. Completing a UNLV microcredential is recognized with a digital badge that is displayed on transcripts and can be displayed on your resume or on social media.

Stackable

Each UNLV microcredential has intrinsic value and many of them are designed to stack with onto other microcredentials to allow learners to meet the requirements of a certificate, a minor or even a degree!
