Online microcredentials at Brandeis Online are abbreviated, skill-specific microcredentials that demonstrate expertise in a particular area. They're also competency-based, which means a digital badge is awarded based on demonstrated mastery of a skill, not just completion of materials, so employers and network connections can feel secure in your new skills.
Find answers to common questions about Brandeis Online microcredentials.
All Brandeis Online microcredentials are non-credit, meaning that they do not stack into larger for-credit programs.
Upon finishing your online microcredential course, you'll submit your materials for a pass/fail grade. Those who pass will receive a digital badge, certifying their skills.
All Brandeis Online microcredentials are self-paced. This means that you can complete the online microcredential at your own speed. Courses must be completed within 90 days. You have 24/7 access to Moodle Communities to complete a selection of readings, assignments, and quizzes to learn the topic. You are expected to complete the materials by yourself, unassisted. At the end of the course, materials are submitted for a pass/fail grade from a course grader.
Students should use a non-brandeis email to sign up for microcredentials. A neutral email, like the one you have attached to your LinkedIn, works best for Moodle Communities, so you can transfer your badge easier. Alumni who use their brandeis.edu email will have technical issues logging in.
