New microcredentials at Brandeis offer added value, career-oriented skills - Brandeis

Starting in the spring 2026 semester, Brandeis undergraduate students will have the opportunity to earn course-based, hard-skill microcredentials as part of the university’s plan to reinvent the liberal arts by blending a rigorous liberal arts education with an intense focus on career readiness.The five pilot microcredentials available for spring 2026 will certify students in specialized, career-focused skills that will be reflected on official Brandeis transcripts. Digital badges can be shared on platforms like LinkedIn, offering new ways to “show what you know” to employers. To earn microcredentials, students are required to take a sequence of courses followed by an assessment separate from the normal course grading process. These microcredential opportunities are available to Brandeis undergraduates at no additional cost; the assessments are being developed concurrently with the rollout of the spring 2026 microcredentials.
