For Educators

NC State is committed to supporting instructors and program designers in academic innovations, including the creation of microcredentials. For support for market research, curriculum development, and instructional design, please contact microcredentials@ncsu.edu to begin the conversation.

Benefits for educators (instructors and institutions)

  • Improved Outcomes: Provide tangible evidence of skills gained, enhancing graduate employability.
  • Expanded Reach: Attract non-traditional learners, working adults, and lifelong learners.
  • Revenue Generation: New streams through short, modular offerings.
  • Curriculum Innovation: Opportunities to update and experiment with new content and formats.
  • Industry Collaboration: Strengthen ties with industry by offering skills-based credentials.

Digital Credentials

Work across campus to identify and select a standard microcredential badging platform is ongoing. Participate in the Microcredential Community of Practice to receive updates and provide feedback on a future microcredential platform.

Currently, units throughout NC State are individually responsible for creating and managing digital badge development while adhering to the NC State badging format.
