High School Microcredentials
What are micro-credentials?

Via the Bensalem Cyber Program, students can earn a micro-credential by successfully completing a pathway focus within a given academy. These courses are designed to help students gain specific skills in their chosen field. Once the appropriate coursework is completed, a student can apply for the micro-credential, which will then be added to their transcript.
Why earn a micro-credential?
