Microcredentials

At Snow College, we understand the need for education and what is does for the lives of individuals. We also understand that full academic programs may not fit educational needs. Taking full classes often doesn't fit with our busy schedules. 

To assist our community, we are introducing a Microcredential program to certify knowledge, skills, and abilities desired by both individuals and employees. A Microcredential is generally a credential or certificate, broken down into smaller pieces that can be earned individually for small skills and knowledge, or earned and stacked together over time to form the larger credential. Think of it as breaking down coursework and learning into smaller pieces that fit schedules better and can give individuals the skills they need without a full semester class commitment. When completed, each successful Microcredential program completer will be issued a badge showing learning objectives, skills taught, and the earning pathway. This will go a long way to showing potential employers and other interested parties what has actually been accomplished. This should bridge the gap between someone saying they are proficient in a particular skill and someone who has shown, based on evidence, that a skill has been mastered.

Snow College offers microcredentials for workforce skills. These are based on the AAC&U Value Rubrics and are available across our campuses. Click here or on the badge to see what offerings there are and the rubrics.
