What is a microcredential? Here’s what you should know - Carly Fredericks, Oregon State

A microcredential, sometimes spelled “micro credential” or “micro-credential,” is a series of courses that culminate in a digital badge from an accredited university. They let employers and your professional network know that you have proficiency in a subject area. But, you might be wondering, “So what’s a digital badge?” Digital badges offer verified proof of competency and document specific skills you’ve gained through learning. Digital badges aren’t exclusive to microcredentials, but all students who complete a microcredential online with Oregon State University receive one. At Oregon State, all microcredentials are delivered online by nationally ranked OSU Ecampus.
