Academic Certificate Programs
Academic Certificates are micro-credentials: clusters of courses that students complete in order to earn official recognition from their home institutions. They are a way for non-degree students, including refugee and displaced learners, to obtain credits and formal evidence of sustained university study, and they provide a way for all students to signal to employers, graduate programs, and others that they have engaged in serious, sustained study in particular interdisciplinary subject areas. Students who complete Certificate Programs receive transferable academic credits, formal attestations of program completion, and transcript recognition or the equivalent from their home institutions.
