At CU Boulder, instructors have the unique opportunity to become proficient in subject matter to complete a degree requirement, act as a stand-alone credential, or to meet an employer requirement. While traditional degrees and certifications cover a wider scope of academic study, micro-credentials provide a way to recognize and document the fulfillment of a more focused skillset.Ìý
The Micro-Credential Program, managed by CU’s Registrar’s Office offered through Credly, provides instructors with digital badges after successful completion of courses. These badges serve as recognition of acquired skills, and because they are digital, can be shared and displayed by instructors however they would like.Ìý
