Digital Badging and Micro-Credentials

MSU Denver’s digital badging and micro-credential programs allow academic departments and university units to build, recognize and verify real-world competencies — for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners.

These programs demonstrate the completion of knowledge, skills, and experiences in a specific field or content area. Once earned, these micro-credentials can be shared with employers using digital badges and incorporated into professional online frameworks, such as LinkedIn.

University Micro-Credentials and Digital Badges can include academic components, but the badge itself does not produce academic credit and is not transcripted.
