What Is A Microcredential?

Nassau Community College microcredentials are high-quality educational opportunities that can help advance your career with less time and financial commitment than a formalized degree or certificate program.

All Nassau Community College microcredentials consist of at least two courses and 6 or 7 credits that follow Nassau’s Fall, Spring and Summer semester calendar.

Proudly Display Your Digital Badge

Once you complete the microcredential requirements, you will receive a digital badge that demonstrates evidence of your discipline-specific knowledge to current and potential employers. Nassau Community College uses the Credly platform to issue the digital badge, and instructions on how to accept the digital badge will be sent to your email address. The digital badge can then be shared online on sites such as LinkedIn or embedded in an eportfolio.
