There are four different types of programs at Brandeis Online: master's, master's certificate, microcredentials and non-credit credentials.
A comprehensive graduate-level program designed for professionals seeking to advance their expertise in a specific field. Typically requiring a minimum of 30 credits, the program focuses on specialized knowledge and skills, often culminating in a capstone or thesis. Completion usually takes one to two years depending on the student's pace.
A shorter, targeted credential at the graduate level consisting of 12 credits. The master's certificate focuses on a specialized area within a broader discipline, allowing students to gain in-depth knowledge without committing to a full master's degree. Ideal for professionals seeking to upskill or pivot careers.
Microcredentials are short, focused learning experiences designed to help individuals develop specific skills or knowledge in a particular field. They provide a flexible and accessible way for learners to upskill or reskill without committing to a full degree program. Often stackable and industry-aligned, microcredentials can be earned through online courses, workshops, or competency-based assessments and are typically recognized with digital badges or certificates that can be shared on professional platforms like LinkedIn.
A focused, non-degree credential. This program is designed to provide practical, career-related skills and knowledge in a specific field. It is often sought by individuals seeking to enhance their qualifications or gain expertise without pursuing a full degree.
