At UMBC, learning extends far beyond the classroom through internships, service, research, and other experiences that often aren’t fully captured on a transcript. UMBC microcredentials provide a meaningful way to recognize and showcase these achievements by documenting specific competencies, skills, and mastery with rich metadata. More than digital badges, they help learners demonstrate their value to employers, graduate programs, and beyond while also supporting faculty, staff, and partners in designing innovative pathways. Together, we can ensure UMBC’s microcredentials reflect the needs of today’s learners and workforce—reach out to explore how to get involved.
