GSU’s Microcredential Initiative: Elevating Skills and Credentials for Learner Success
The landscape of higher education is expanding rapidly, and GSU innovatively embraces this expansion while always keeping our learners at the center, providing them with meaningful, verifiable credentials.
Georgia State has developed a Microcredential Framework to provide a guide for faculty to help learners document their skills and accomplishments through clear, standardized microcredentials.
Primarily offered as continuing education or professional credits, these microcredentials provide faculty with a means to help learners showcase demonstrated competencies. This initiative aligns with two pillars of GSU’s strategic plan, Student Success and Beyond College to Career, broadening learners’ career pathways, improving outcomes, and enhancing lifelong learning opportunities.
